Transition Strip
A transition strip is a narrow piece of material used to cover the gap between two different types of flooring, such as carpet and hardwood. It helps create a smooth transition, preventing tripping hazards and providing a finished look to the flooring installation. Transition strips come in various materials, including wood, vinyl, and metal, allowing them to match or complement the surrounding floors.
These strips are essential in areas where flooring types change, such as doorways or room entrances. They can also help manage the expansion and contraction of flooring materials, ensuring durability and longevity. Proper installation of a transition strip enhances both the aesthetics and functionality of a space.
