Mouldings – thresholds

Seamless Flooring Transitions: Threshold moulding is ideal for transitioning between different types of flooring, such as hardwood and tile or carpet and hard surfaces. It creates a smooth and aesthetically pleasing transition that maintains a cohesive look throughout your home.

Doorways: In doorways, threshold moulding is used to bridge two floors of similar height, providing a neat and professional finish. This is particularly useful for creating a continuous look between adjacent rooms.

Concealing Expansion Gaps: Threshold moulding effectively hides expansion gaps between flooring and adjacent structures like walls, fireplace hearths, or sliding glass doors. This not only improves the visual appeal but also protects the flooring edges.

Barrier Against Elements: It helps keep out drafts, dirt, moisture, and insects. By sealing the gap between flooring and external elements, threshold moulding can contribute to a cleaner, more comfortable living space.

Weatherproofing: At entry points, threshold molding assists in weatherproofing, reducing the impact of outdoor weather conditions on indoor comfort. This can be particularly valuable for entrances exposed to varying weather.

Energy Efficiency: By preventing drafts and improving insulation around doorways and thresholds, this molding can aid in energy conservation, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs.

Sound Transmission Reduction: Threshold molding can help with sound transmission between rooms, contributing to a quieter and more peaceful environment.

Threshold moulding is available in various materials, each offering different benefits:

Aluminum: Known for its durability and strength, aluminum threshold moulding can withstand heavy foot traffic and is resistant to wear and tear. It's a great option for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces.

Bamboo: Bamboo threshold moulding offers a natural and eco-friendly option. It comes in classic and strand-woven varieties, both of which are strong and durable. Bamboo adds a touch of elegance and is suitable for residential settings.

Measure Accurately: Ensure precise measurements of the flooring height and gap to select the appropriate size of threshold molding.

Prepare the Surface: Clean and level the area where the threshold will be installed to ensure a smooth and secure fit.

Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Different materials and styles may have specific installation instructions, so adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations for best results.

By incorporating threshold moulding, you can achieve a functional and polished transition between flooring types while also addressing practical concerns such as weatherproofing and energy efficiency.
