carpet to tile thresholds for high tiles? - TilersForums.com

[roly]

hi

i've just tiles my bathroom (diyer) and want a threshold between the tiles and carpet on the landing. i wanted to use one of the zigzag z bar thresholds but see they only are good upto 9mm thick and i have no-more-ply adhesive and tiles giving me a floor thickness of about 15mm. what do you pro's use as a threshold in situations like this and where can i get them? i would prefer to use a zigzag type if possible.

any advice appreciated

Transition bars go to "up to" 15mm

Either that.......or a hardwood threshold bar. Made to measure.

You can get transition/threshold bars upto 22/25mm. Stocked on most high street tile retailer.

Wickes do a threshold that should do 15mm. Ignore the self adhesive strip though.. Just drill and countersink some holes into it, and screw to floorboards.

You can pack underneath with nmp to the same level.

I often do this with the backer board meeting the underlay. Works well to be fair

cheers guys that's a big help. i might try packing it with the nmp then thanks for the tip. failing that i'll try wickes for a higher z bar when i'm going past it next week.

thanks again

The wickes one isn't a Z bar. It's like a T bar, but with slot in plastic catches for different depths.
