Metal Transition Strips Application

Metal transition strips connect different flooring materials while meeting critical safety and building requirements. Aluminum and stainless steel profiles handle specific needs: T-moldings join same-height surfaces like vinyl to hardwood, reducers bridge height variations between materials, and ADA-compliant threshold strips ensure safe passage in commercial spaces. These strips protect floor edges in high-traffic areas and prevent moisture seepage between different flooring types.

Indoor-Outdoor Transitions

  • Entry Vestibules: Protects floor edges where exterior concrete meets interior tile, managing moisture and debris tracking
  • Sliding Glass Doors: Bridges height variations between deck surfaces and indoor flooring while preventing water infiltration
  • Garage Entrances: Handles transitions between rough concrete and finished indoor surfaces
  • Sunroom Perimeters: Accommodates seasonal material expansion between exterior pavers and interior flooring
  • Pool Area Access Points: Creates slip-resistant transitions while channeling water away from indoor spaces

Commercial Building Applications

  • Hotel Lobby: Connects marble flooring to carpet in reception areas
  • Restaurant Entrance: Bridges exterior tile to interior hardwood
  • Office Building: Links carpet tiles between workspace and corridor
  • Healthcare Facility: Joins vinyl flooring to ceramic tile in sanitary areas

Commercial Building Applications

  • Kitchen Entry: Transitions hardwood to tile flooring
  • Bathroom Doorway: Manages height difference between tile and carpet
  • Living Room: Connects different flooring materials at open-concept spaces
  • Mudroom: Joins durable entry tiles to main house flooring

The Benefits of Metal Transition Strips

Floor Edge Protection

Metal strips stop edge damage where different floors meet. The aluminum and stainless steel profiles withstand daily wear from wheels, carts, and foot traffic in commercial spaces, preventing material splitting and edge breakdown.

Height Adjustment

These strips create level surfaces between uneven floors. The profiles meet ADA standards for public spaces, eliminating gaps between carpet and tile, hardwood and vinyl, or concrete and finished flooring.

Moisture Barrier

Metal transition strips block water migration at floor joints. Common applications include bathroom entries, exterior doorways, and basement floor transitions where water can seep between materials.

Material Movement Control

Floor materials expand and contract with temperature changes. These strips maintain stable joints between different surfaces like hardwood-to-tile or vinyl-to-concrete, preventing floor separation and buckling.
