Threshold

Description

Sometimes referred to as "baby thresholds," thresholds are designed to terminate wood floorcovering and are often used in doorways and along areas where carpet meets wood floorcoverings.  The overlapping nature of this profile allows it to be a universal transition and therefore does not need to be matched to the height of the floorcovering.  The threshold is often used to cover sawn edges of the floorcovering where the boards are perpendicular to the profile. The threshold should be secured to the sub-floor using shims if necessary to avoid breaking when uneven pressure is applied to it.  The wood floorcovering should be allowed to move freely under the threshold.

Finish

  • Machine finished in our facility

  • The finish has added UV inhibitors to reduce the effects of ambering. 

  • Moulding Solutions uses only environmentally friendly, VOC compliant finishes. Our high solids, high build finishes are machine applied and quick cured through various methods including chemical reaction and energy based methods.  The result is an even coat along the entire length of the product.  Our finishes have an added UV absorber to prolong the life of the finish and resist ambering, or "yellowing" of the product from age.  The resulting product will last for years to come.

Installation

  • Proper installation is detailed in the image at the top of this page

  • The threshold must be installed so the flat section on the rear underside of the piece is resting squarely on top the floorcovering and the bottom "leg" is resting on the sub-floor

  • Use shims as necessary to provide extra support
