When transitioning between different types of flooring, it’s essential to create a smooth and visually appealing transition. Most people want their flooring to flow seamlessly from one area to another without disruptions or awkward breaks.
Here are some popular flooring transition options that are available to help blend beautifully with your flooring.
Aluminium Trim / C Channel
Aluminium trims provide a tidy, clean finish to any floor.
They’re ideal for transitioning between hard flooring and carpet, or for creating a smooth finish up to ranch sliders and external doorways.
Aluminium trims come in 3 different colours: black, sand and silver - additionally, they can be powder coated by a joinery specalist to match your preferred shade.
Suitable for: Laminate and Hybrid Flooring. A larger profile is also available for Bamboo .
T Moulding / Expansion
A T-moulding transition strip is used when two hard flooring types that are the same height meet, often used in doorways to provide a visual and practical transition between two rooms.
Suitable for: Hybrid , Bamboo and Laminate flooring.
Woodland Lifestyle offers colour-matched option for the Strata, Bamboo and laminate ranges.
End Cap
When transitioning from hard flooring to carpet, an end cap offers a clean, seamless solution. It’s a great alternative to aluminium C-channels if you prefer a more cohesive finish between the two surfaces.
End caps are also suitable for positioning next to aluminium C-channel, providing a neat 90-degree angle.
