Quarter Round Around Fireplace. To install transition between vinyl plank to fireplace mantel or transition between lvp to fireplace you need to install quarter round molding on outside. We have laid down some laminate flooring in the house and left some room between brick fireplace for expansion.
Walls, against fixed objects such as columns, and other flooring transitions. They may be uneven around the room. Butting wood against a fireplace is asking for disaster. The opening is off the floor so its not going to melt anything.
You can also cover the gap with base board.
The previous home owner had quarter round around the base of the bricks. Jeffrey, quarter round and shoe molding are like kissing cousins. I'm going to put quarter round in the color of the flooring around the fireplace. Most quarter round is of small gauge and relatively flexible.
