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.
