Find the right door bar in seconds
Door bars are the finishing trims used at doorways, thresholds and exposed edges to give your floor a clean, professional look. They help cover expansion gaps, protect vulnerable edges and create a tidy join where flooring meets another surface. Whether you’re fitting laminate, engineered or click LVT, the right door bar helps you finish the job properly and keeps the transition looking neat over time.
To choose the right option, start with the job you need it to do. Angle edge trims are ideal for finishing an exposed edge and protecting the flooring at doorways or room edges. Coverstrips (sometimes called joining strips) are designed to join two floors of equal height, making them a popular choice between rooms where the flooring continues at the same level. Reducers are used when you need a smoother transition between different floor heights, such as laminate to vinyl or wood flooring to carpet, helping reduce trip edges while keeping the join clean.

Clean and dry the surface, measure and cut to length, then peel the backing and press firmly along the full bar. Apply strong pressure across the entire length to help the adhesive bond evenly.
Yes, if both floors meet at the same height. If there’s a height difference, use a reducer instead to avoid a sharp step and create a smoother transition.
