FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Genesis Ramp Transition Strip?

The primary benefit is its quick and effortless installation using a strong self-adhesive strip, eliminating the need for mechanical fixings and providing a professional finish between different floor levels.

Can this transition strip be used with carpet?

This profile is designed for hard and smooth flooring types. While it can create a transition from carpet to hard flooring, the carpet edge must be securely finished, and the profile adheres best to the hard floor surface.

How do I measure for the correct length?

Measure the exact width of the gap or transition area you need to cover. It is advisable to slightly overestimate and cut to size if needed, keeping in mind the ±5mm manufacturing tolerance.

What is the material of the transition strip?

The transition strip is made from premium aluminium with a matt brass finish.

How do I clean and maintain the strip?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the matt brass finish.

What does 'retro-fit' mean in this context?

'Retro-fit' means the profile is designed to be installed over existing flooring, making it ideal for renovations without needing to remove existing floor coverings.

Are there different sizes available for height differences?

Yes, the product is available in varying depth options to accommodate different floor height differences, ensuring a smooth transition.

Troubleshooting

Profile not sticking securely

Ensure the floor surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and completely free of dust, oil, or old adhesive. Reapply pressure along the entire length of the profile. For very uneven surfaces, consider using a compatible flooring adhesive in addition to the self-adhesive strip.

Profile appears shorter/longer than expected

Verify measurements carefully. Remember that dimensions may vary by up to ±5mm due to manufacturing tolerances. If a precise fit is critical, purchase slightly longer and trim to size.

Matt brass finish shows minor scratches

Clean the area gently with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a non-abrasive metal polish designed for brass might be used cautiously, following product instructions. Avoid using harsh scrubbing pads.

Edge of profile lifting after some use

Clean the affected area thoroughly and reapply firm pressure. If the issue persists, a small amount of strong, clear flooring adhesive or a suitable construction adhesive can be applied under the lifting edge. Ensure the adhesive is compatible with both the profile material and your flooring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy and fast installation with no tools required.
  • Provides a clean, professional transition between floor types.
  • Durable aluminium construction ensures longevity.
  • Eliminates trip hazards by smoothing out height differences.
  • Versatile for various hard flooring surfaces.

Cons

  • Dimensions may vary by up to ±5mm.
  • Requires a smooth, hard subfloor for optimal adhesion.
  • Not suitable for very high or uneven height differences without preparation.
  • Adhesive strength depends on the cleanliness and type of the subfloor.
  • Matt brass finish may show wear over time with heavy foot traffic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the surface: Ensure the floor areas on both sides of the transition are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or debris. The subfloor must be smooth and hard.
  2. Measure and cut: Measure the required length. If cutting is necessary, use appropriate metal-cutting tools.
  3. Peel and stick: Carefully peel back the protective film from the self-adhesive strip.
  4. Position and press: Align the profile with the transition edge and firmly press it down, ensuring full contact with the floor surface.

Compatibility:

  • Best suited for hard and smooth flooring types such as laminate, vinyl, tile, and hardwood.
  • Ideal for bridging small to moderate height differences (specific depth options vary).
  • Ensure the underlying subfloor is level and stable for secure adhesion.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the matt brass finish.
  • Sweep or vacuum the area to prevent grit from scratching the surface.
