In most doorways the two floors do not quite meet. The vinyl on one side sits two or three millimetres proud of the laminate on the other, and that lip catches toes, snags a mop head and lets the covering creep until it lifts. This 30mm anodised aluminium ramp threshold closes the gap properly. It laps over the higher covering at its 5mm thick edge, falls away across its width and lands on the lower floor with a feathered edge you walk over without noticing. It screws down through countersunk holes, so it stays put in a hallway that takes a hundred passes a day. Five finishes and two lengths.
Across its 30mm width the profile falls from 5mm at its thick edge to a feathered edge that sits flush on the floor. That taper is the whole point: a level change of up to 3mm is taken over 30mm of travel instead of being met by a square upstand. Feet, castors, vacuum heads and walking aids ride over it rather than catching on it, and there is no raised lip for a door leaf to foul as it swings.
The thick edge laps over the cut edge of the higher floorcovering and holds it down. An exposed vinyl or LVT edge in a doorway frays, curls and lifts under traffic; a capped one does not, and the join stays tidy for the life of the floor.
A mechanically fixed threshold does not creep in summer heat, does not lift when a covering shrinks back, and can be taken up and refitted when the floor is replaced. The colour is anodised into the aluminium rather than painted on, so it will not flake where shoes scuff hardest.
Lay a straight edge across the doorway and measure the step between the two finished floors.
Doorways between rooms with different floorcoverings: vinyl or lino meeting laminate, LVT meeting engineered wood, a tiled kitchen meeting a hall floor. It also finishes an open covering edge under a sliding door track or where a floor stops short of a fitted unit. Homes, rented flats, offices and surgeries all use the same profile.

Take the length first. A standard internal doorway is 762mm or 838mm, so the 0.9m bar covers almost every domestic opening with a little to trim. The 2.7m length suits double doors, wide openings and corridor runs. It comes with 12 screws and 12 plugs and cuts into three doorway pieces up to about 890mm each, for less than three short bars.
Then the finish. Silver is the neutral default against grey and cool-toned floors. Gold suits traditional interiors and brass door furniture. Champagne is a warmer bronze that sits well with beige carpet and oak. Inox reads as brushed stainless, the usual choice in offices. Black works against dark LVT, charcoal tile and anthracite frames. Anodised colours are hard to judge on a screen, so if you are matching something already fitted, order one short bar first.
Cannot drill the floor, for example over underfloor heating pipes? The self-adhesive 31mm threshold ramp fixes with tape instead of screws.
Cut to length with a fine-tooth hacksaw or a non-ferrous mitre blade, then file the cut end. Lay the bar with the thick edge over the higher covering, mark through the pre-drilled holes, drill and plug the subfloor, and drive the supplied screws evenly until the heads sit flush. Do not overtighten: the section is light and will dish. Use the plugs wherever the subfloor suits them; driving a screw into a hard material without a plug or pilot hole can snap the head. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent; abrasive creams will dull the anodised face.
No. Above about 3mm the thick edge stops sitting down properly and the bar rocks underfoot. Larger level changes need a deeper ramp section.
It is made for hard floors: vinyl, LVT, lino, laminate, wood and tile. It will finish a thin carpet whose edge is turned and gripped, but deep pile needs a carpet-to-hard-floor bar with a gripper leg.
Yes. The holes are pre-drilled and countersunk. Each 0.9m bar comes with 4 screws and 4 plugs, and each 2.7m bar with 12 screws and 12 plugs.
You can, on a sound clean substrate, but it is not what the profile is made for. A screwed threshold stays flat and can be lifted again later.
No outdoor or wet-area performance data is published for this line, so we would keep it to internal doorways.

Came in compact packaging and every inch of it looked immaculately put together. Installed between my dining room and kitchen, its been under constant traffic without slipping or bowing even when wet. The threshold ramp not only eliminates that annoying trip hazard but feels reassuringly sturdy even on a busy day.

Wasnt sure at first if the packaging would keep it safe, but it all arrived perfectly intact and looked solid from the get-go. Placing the threshold ramp at our hotels main entrance was a breeze, linking marble and oak seamlessly. Love how its weight keeps everything anchored amidst foot traffic!

Put it in a few months back between the warehouse zones, and its kept itself together remarkably well despite the forklift barrage. What surprised me was how neatly it fit into place, albeit not without a bit of grumbling from yours truly during installation. The thing shows signs of life as you’d expect with those scratches but hasnt warped, so credit where it’s due—you’d think it was made for handling such chaos.

Got this for smoothing out the join between our office carpet and vinyl corridor; it feels super polished and adds a sleek touch to an otherwise plain area. Up close, the aluminium threshold ramp really has that professional finish I was hoping for, making the transition between rooms not just functional but stylish too. Easy enough to fit, even for a bloke like me less savvy with tools.

Remarkably sturdy appearance out of the box. I cut the threshold easily to fit between a carpeted office and our corridors vinyl without a hitch, and it installed snugly with minimal effort. The threshold ramp feels solid under foot, making transitions in the hall much smoother now.
