Thresholds & Edgings

A threshold sits at the point where two floors meet, most commonly in a doorway, and its job is to give a clean, safe transition rather than leaving a raw edge or an unexpected step underfoot. This range runs from 4mm up to 26mm thick, in solid oak, MDF and veneered options, in lengths of 0.9m and 2.7m for most profiles.

Choosing the right threshold shape

The shape of the threshold you need depends entirely on what the two floors either side of it look like. A flat threshold or flat threshold strip works when both floors sit at close to the same height, laying flush across the join without creating a ridge. A reducer threshold is angled instead, built specifically for a gap in height, such as an engineered wood floor on one side meeting a thinner vinyl or laminate floor on the other, tapering down so there's no trip hazard between them.

T-shaped and L-shaped thresholds serve more specific situations: T-shaped pieces typically join two floors of the same type and thickness at a doorway, while L-shaped thresholds are often used where a floor meets a different surface at an edge rather than in the middle of a run, such as against a step or a change in level.

Matching the size to your floor

Getting the thickness right matters more with thresholds than with most other accessories, because a threshold that doesn't match your floor's height will either sit proud and get caught underfoot, or leave a visible gap that lets debris in. The range here is built around the common floor thicknesses you'll actually be transitioning between, 7mm, 15mm and 20mm being the most frequent, so it's worth measuring your specific floor rather than guessing from the product name alone, since two floors described as similar thicknesses can still differ by a millimetre or two in practice.

Corner beads and pipe surrounds

Beyond the main doorway transitions, this range also covers smaller detail pieces: corner beads finish external corners where a floor or skirting profile turns a right angle, and pipe surrounds (sometimes called pipe ferrules) fit neatly around radiator pipes coming up through the floor, giving a tidy finished look instead of a rough cut edge around the pipe.

Stair transition profiles

For stairs specifically, this range includes Incizo aluminium stair and subprofile systems, a QuickStep fitting system designed to give a secure, finished edge where flooring meets a step nosing, distinct from the solid wood stair nosings stocked elsewhere on the site.

FAQ

How do I know whether I need a flat threshold or a reducer threshold?
If the two floors on either side are close to the same height, use a flat threshold. If there's a noticeable height difference, such as wood meeting a thinner vinyl floor, use a reducer threshold, which is angled to bridge the gap safely.

What thickness threshold do I need?
It depends on your floor. This range is built around common thicknesses of 7mm, 15mm and 20mm, so measure your actual floor rather than relying on the product name alone, since small differences matter here.

What's a pipe surround used for?
A pipe surround, also called a pipe ferrule, fits around a radiator pipe where it comes up through the floor, giving a neat finished edge instead of a rough-cut hole.
