Timber Flooring Transition Bars & Trims
Complete your timber flooring project with the perfect transition.
Whether you're joining timber flooring to tile, carpet, vinyl or concrete, choosing the correct transition bar ensures a clean finish, protects the flooring edges and allows for natural timber movement. At Timber Floor Specialists, we supply and install premium timber and aluminium transition solutions that are colour matched to your flooring for a seamless result.
What Are Transition Bars?
Transition bars (also known as floor trims, transition strips or doorway trims) are designed to create a smooth connection between two different flooring surfaces or areas of differing heights.
Not only do they provide a professional finish, but they also protect the edges of your flooring, reduce trip hazards and allow engineered or solid timber flooring to naturally expand and contract with seasonal changes.
Whether you're installing new flooring or renovating an existing home, the right transition profile is an important finishing detail that shouldn't be overlooked.
