# Gold Door Bars

## **What is a door bar and what is it used for?**

A door bar, more commonly known as a threshold strip or transition strip, is used to bridge the gap between two different floor coverings in adjoining rooms. It helps create a neat, level transition where the flooring changes, such as from laminate to carpet or vinyl to tile. As well as improving the visual flow from room to room, door bars also protect the edges of flooring from fraying, lifting, or damage over time. They're commonly placed in doorways or open plan spaces and are available in a range of materials, colours, and profiles to suit different flooring types and styles.

## **Are door bars necessary when fitting new flooring?**

In most cases, yes, especially when two different types of flooring meet. Without a door bar, there’s often a visible gap or height difference where floors join, which can be both unsightly and a potential trip hazard. A good quality door bar creates a tidy, flush finish that helps the floor look professionally installed. It also extends the lifespan of the flooring by preventing movement or edge wear. For renters or first-time buyers fitting floors room by room, door bars offer an easy, budget-friendly way to bring everything together with a polished look.

## **What types of door bars are available?**

There are different types of door bars depending on the flooring materials being joined. For example, a ramp bar is used when there’s a height difference between floors, while a twin bar joins two floors of the same height. Stick down and screw-in options are available depending on whether the flooring is floating, glued, or nailed. You can also find self-adhesive door bars that are ideal for DIY fitting. Simply measure, cut, and press into place. Most are made from aluminium or similar metals, with finishes like brushed silver, gold, or wood effect to suit a range of interiors.

## **Can I install a door bar myself?**

Yes, most door bars are designed with simple fitting in mind, especially the self adhesive or click in types. Just measure the doorway, cut the bar to size, and follow the fitting instructions for your chosen type. For glue down or floating floors, some bars clip into a base track for added stability, while others require screws or adhesive. They’re a great finishing touch that can be added even after the flooring is down, making them ideal for renters or anyone updating one room at a time.
