Wood floor to carpet thresholds

[Velochris]

Having a first go at installing some wood oor given by family. It will be going under the stairs, so not a large space.

It will join with the hallway carpet. The flooring plus underlay will be 12mm high. Looking around I cannot seem to find a threshold with gripper on one side and enough of a gap to fit 12mm on the other side.

Any advice on suitable products?

When doing a similar job, I used a screw down threshold strip which spanned both sections of flooring.

I found a wooden threshold strip for this in wither B&Q or Wickes. It was some years ago, don't remember exsctly which if the two.

Try this, [not cheapest which would be the anodised aluminium strips from Screwfix] :

There are a variety of naplock plates available in different finishes, Aluminium, gold effect aluminium or solid brass.

Try stairrods.co.uk they are the biggest maker of these plates. Any good carpet shop should have them. Alternatively contact a local carpet fitter who I’m sure will be able to help you out.

Thanks all.

Usually the manufacturer of decent wood and laminate floors will do a matching colour transition piece. Normally they are quite expensive - out of all proportion to the base flooring cost.

Yep, this is me too.

Just make sure the screw you are using is not too long unless you’re sure there isn’t a CH pipe beneath ; - )

Me three worked a treat

May go down this route as it is simpler and cheaper. Did you lay some gripper slightly set back from the plate, in order to hold the carpet?
