Description

This self-adhesive aluminium transition strip provides a neat, secure join between floor coverings with an 8mm height difference. Designed to bridge gaps of up to 8mm, it helps to create a smooth and professional-looking threshold between adjacent rooms or floor finishes.

Measuring 38mm wide with an 8mm profile height, this door threshold is ideal for use between laminate, engineered wood, vinyl or tiles and neighbouring floor surfaces. Supplied in matt black, matt silver or matt brass finishes, and in convenient 0.9m or 2.7m lengths, it is suitable for domestic and light commercial interiors where a clean, durable transition is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this transition strip be fitted without drilling or screws?

Yes. This profile is supplied with a self-adhesive backing, so it can be fitted directly to a clean, dry and smooth substrate without drilling or screws. Firm pressure should be applied during installation to ensure good adhesion.

Can I cut the strip to suit a shorter doorway?

Yes. The aluminium strip can be trimmed to the required length using a fine-toothed hacksaw or suitable metal-cutting tool. Any cut edges should be de-burred to ensure a neat finish.

Is this transition strip suitable for all types of flooring?

The strip is designed for most common indoor floor coverings, including laminate, engineered wood, vinyl and tiles, where the height difference is around 8mm. It is not suitable for external use or for floors with a significantly greater or lesser height variation than the stated profile.
