Graduated to a T-molding after 10 years of rough thresholds in old Victorians

Popped into a house in Portland last week. 1940s craftsman. Saw they ripped out the carpet and put in LVP. Then they used a T-molding between the hall and kitchen. First time I've seen that done right in an old home. No gap, no hump. Makes me wish I did that 5 years ago on a job instead of fighting with a reducer. Anyone else finding T-moldings work better on older subfloors?

That "no gap, no hump" part is the key... most people don't get that right. I've seen T-moldings on old subfloors look perfect for years while reducers always seem to shift or crack. The trick is getting the floor heights matched before you even lay anything down.

Wait, you're telling me reducers ALWAYS shift or crack? That is wild, I've NEVER had that issue with a decent one.
