A carpet transition refers to the area where two different types of flooring meet, such as carpet and hardwood or tile. This transition is important for both aesthetic and functional reasons, as it helps create a smooth flow between spaces while preventing tripping hazards. There are various types of transition strips available, including T-molding, reducer strips, and thresholds. These strips can be made from materials like wood, metal, or vinyl, and they come in different colors and styles to match the surrounding flooring. Proper installation ensures durability and enhances the overall appearance of the flooring.
