Professional threshold strip fitting for Devon elderly residents - transition strips installed at doorways for safe, smooth movement between rooms.
Safe Passage Between Rooms
Where floors meet, edges catch. Carpet ends, laminate starts, there's a gap. A threshold strip covers this. Smooth crossing, protected edges, no tripping.
💡 Pro tip: Check all doorways in your home. Any gap or exposed edge is worth covering - even small ones cause trips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a threshold strip?
A strip that covers the join between two different flooring materials - carpet to laminate, tiles to wood. Makes the transition smooth and safe.
Why do I need one?
Exposed edges catch toes and damage easily. A strip covers the gap, prevents tripping, and protects the flooring edges from wear.
What types are there?
Flat strips for same-height floors, ramp strips for different heights, gripper strips for carpet edges. We fit the right type for your floors.
Will it match my flooring?
Strips come in brass, chrome, wood, and various colours. We source one that looks right with your floors - not obviously mismatched.
