Wide door threshold trims are more than just a functional afterthought; they are valuable design elements that add style to any room and are designed to bridge the gap between different types of flooring in doorways. Not only do they enhance the appearance of your living space, but these strips can help to prevent tripping hazards by creating a smooth transition between floors.

Offered in a wide range of finishes and sizes, anodised aluminium threshold strips, give a distinctive edge as they combine the strength and durability of aluminium, along with an extra layer of protection provided by the anodisation process. In other words, they provide a robust and lasting solution to door transitions.

These threshold strips not only work well with primary doors leading to outside environments but also lend themselves to high-traffic areas within the home, given their ability to handle significant foot traffic.

A Wealth Of Benefits

Wide door threshold strips do more than improve the appearance of your home. When properly installed, these strips can provide an extra layer of insulation, helping to maintain the heat during those nippy winter months. But that's not all. They also help prevent dust, insects, and draughts from sneaking through the cracks between floors.

Whether you're redecorating or just sprucing up your home, wide door threshold strips are a top choice.

Are wide door threshold strips suitable for all types of flooring?

Indeed, wide door threshold strips are a versatile option suitable for essentially all types of flooring. Whether you have laminate, carpet, tile, or wooden flooring, there's a wide door threshold strip designed to bridge that gap seamlessly.

If you're transitioning between two different types of floors, such as from carpet to wood or tile to laminate, these threshold strips do a neat job.

These strips are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for busy homes and offices.

How to measure for wide door threshold strips?

To measure for wide door threshold strips, first, you need to know the width of the doorway. Simply get your tape measure, start at one end of the door frame, and measure to the other. This gives you the width that your threshold strip needs to cover.

Next, consider the flooring types on either side of the door threshold. The thickness of these floors could affect the height of the strip you require. Usually, for doors connecting similar types of flooring, such as carpet-to-carpet or laminate-to-laminate, a flat threshold strip will suffice. But if you're dealing with different flooring types - say, a plush carpet and hard floor - you may need a wider, adjustable threshold strip.

If you'd like to maintain an optimum appearance by keeping the threshold strip flush with your floor, it's vital also to consider the 'depth' measurement. To ascertain this, place your tape measure at the bottom edge of the floor, extend it up to the top surface, and take a note of the measurement. Just remember that these measurements form an important part of the selection process and getting them right first time can save you a lot of hassle!
