FAQs

What is the primary use of this threshold strip?

The primary use is to create a neat and durable transition between adjoining floor surfaces, such as between two rooms or different types of flooring, and to cover expansion gaps or protect exposed floor edges.

Do I need any tools to install this strip?

No, installation is designed to be tool-free thanks to its strong self-adhesive backing. You may need a cutting tool if you need to shorten the strip.

What types of flooring is this strip compatible with?

It is ideal for use with laminate, wood, and vinyl flooring, providing a decorative finish for their transitions.

How should I clean the threshold strip?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the chrome effect finish.

What is the profile size of this strip?

The profile size is 40mm in width and 3mm in height.

Can this strip be used outdoors?

This product is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to weather conditions can damage the material and adhesive.

What is the length of the strip?

The strip comes in a standard length of 900mm.

Troubleshooting

Threshold strip not adhering firmly

Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth before application. Re-apply firm, even pressure. For difficult surfaces, consider using a stronger flooring adhesive specifically designed for trims, applied underneath the strip after initial placement.

Adhesive backing difficult to remove

Gently flex the strip at the edge to start peeling the backing. If it's still stubborn, try using a thin, blunt tool (like a plastic scraper) to lift the edge carefully.

Strip does not lie flat

Check for any debris or unevenness on the subfloor or flooring edges. Ensure the flooring itself is properly installed and level. The strip may need to be cut to conform to slight undulations, or the subfloor may need leveling.

Chrome effect finish damaged

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools. If minor scratches occur, they may be difficult to remove. Consider using touch-up paint designed for metal finishes if the damage is significant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the floor surfaces to be joined are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or debris.
  2. Cut the threshold strip to the required length using a suitable metal cutting tool if necessary (though ideally measure and plan to use the full 900mm or use multiple strips precisely cut).
  3. Peel back a small section of the adhesive backing paper.
  4. Carefully align the strip with the floor joint or gap.
  5. Press the adhesive down firmly, gradually peeling away the backing paper as you continue to press the strip into place.
  6. Apply firm, even pressure along the entire length of the strip for at least 30 seconds to ensure a secure bond.

Compatibility:

  • Ideal for use between laminate, wood, and vinyl flooring.
  • Suitable for covering expansion gaps up to approximately 40mm in width.
  • Best suited for dry indoor environments.

Care:

  • Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the chrome effect finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe dry.
