Transition strips are narrow pieces of material used to cover the gap between two different types of flooring, such as carpet and hardwood. They help create a smooth transition, preventing tripping hazards and protecting the edges of the flooring. Transition strips come in various materials, including wood, vinyl, and metal, allowing homeowners to choose one that matches their decor. These strips also serve a practical purpose by accommodating slight height differences between flooring types. They can be installed using adhesive, nails, or screws, making them a versatile solution for both residential and commercial spaces. Proper installation ensures durability and enhances the overall appearance of the flooring.
