The threshold transition strip is mainly used as a transition material at the threshold, especially for distinguishing and spacing different rooms, covering gaps, and making the joints beautiful. The threshold transition strip can be used. There are generally three threshold transition strips: floor edge strips, floor transition strips, and threshold stones.
Let's take a look at the differences between the three transition strips, to choose better the transition strip that suits you:
1. Floor transition strip
The floor transition strip is easy to install and has strong plasticity. It can be used for installation at the same level of wooden floors and floor tiles or installation with a height of less than 5mm to seamlessly and smoothly transition. It can also cover the splicing gap between wooden floors and floor tiles, which is more beautiful.
Secondly, it reserves enough space for the thermal expansion and contraction of wooden floors. There are various colors and materials. It is recommended to choose the same color as the floor to double the overall sense! It is also easy to install. It is no problem to install the floor transition strip after the floor is installed, and it is also convenient to maintain and replace.
2. Floor Edge strip:
The floor edge strip uses a T-shaped edge strip or a narrow-width tile edge strip to ease the transition between the two materials. The materials are diverse, including copper, wood, stainless steel, rubber strips, aluminum alloy, etc., but aluminum is most commonly used. And it can make the transition more beautiful and less abrupt.
However, it is more suitable for the transition between two-floor materials of the same height, and the floor transition strip must be installed at the same time as the floor and floor tiles are installed.
3. Threshold stone:
The threshold stone can be used as a transition bridge between wooden floors and floor tiles, or between floor tiles and floor tiles. It can not only prevent the floor from arching but also divide the indoor space through color differences and enhance the sense of space, especially in areas such as bathroom doors and balcony thresholds. It can play a role in water blocking.
However, the threshold stone is made of natural stone, which has high cost, high transportation cost and installation cost, and wide selection, and the surface is more prominent. Now many people pay attention to minimalist decoration and no longer like traditional threshold stones.
Recommendation:
We recommend the use of aluminum floor transition strips to provide durable, safe, stable and lasting protection for your floor transition, and a variety of finishes can be selected, which is more beautiful. The most important thing is that it is cost-effective, easy to install, affordable, and suitable for various commercial environments and residences. Many of our engineering customers and wholesalers recommend the use of aluminum floor transition strips, which have a broader market and a high return on investment.
Moreover, we not only have factories in China but also in Vietnam and Cambodia. This is to reduce customers' import costs and tariffs as much as possible so that our customers can make more profits and gain more market share!
