It is call a thresh hold strip and there are plenty at lowes or home depot. However you need to be careful of applying it to tight as laminate flooring needs to expand and contract with the room moisture and temperature

Answer 3

Depending on the height difference you either need a threshold (slopes down on both sides) or a reducer, (high on one side, slopes down on other to lower height floor). Hope that helps
