Installation Guide for Multi-Purpose Thresholds
Installing multi-purpose thresholds has never been easier. Whether you’re a professional installer or a DIY enthusiast, Syntech’s multi-purpose thresholds are designed for quick, secure, and adjustable fitting. In this guide, we’ll walk you through step-by-step instructions for both the 3-clip system and the single-clip system, ensuring a seamless finish for any flooring transition.
Step-by-Step Installation: 3-Clip System
The 3-clip system is ideal for floors of varying heights and provides a robust, adjustable fit. Follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Base
-
Cut the top of the threshold base to the required length.
-
Stick the base securely to a clean, dust-free floor to ensure optimal adhesion.
Step 2: Install the Clips
-
Select the appropriate clip size for your flooring.
-
Angle clips into the base at equal intervals along the length, use a coin to make instalation of the clips simple.
Tip: Start with the smallest clips and work your way up if needed. You do not need to remove smaller clips when larger ones are required.
Step 3: Attach the Threshold Top
-
Press the threshold top onto the clips at the desired angle, rock into place.
-
Ensure it is fully seated and secure.
The 3-clip system provides flexibility for different floor heights while maintaining a neat, professional finish.
Step-by-Step Installation: Single-Clip System
Some threshold colours come with the single-clip system, which is perfect for straightforward installations or smaller height adjustments.
Step 1: Prepare the Base
-
Cut the threshold base to length.
-
Stick it to a clean, dust-free floor for stability.
Step 2: Test Fit
-
Try pressing the threshold top onto the base without clips first (mimics white clips).
-
If it does not fit securely, insert clips into the grooves to raise the top (mimics blue clips).
Step 3: Adjust the Clips
-
Place additional clips into the higher level of the threshold base (mimics red clips).
-
This ensures the threshold sits flush over different flooring heights.
Step 4: Secure the Top
-
Press the top firmly onto the clips at the desired angle, rocking into place.
-
Double-check for a snug, secure fit.
Hot Tip: If the clips are hard to insert, angle them slightly and use a coin to guide them into place. Do not press the cover plate all the way down, as this will prevent it from pivoting correctly; instead, use the next size clip if required.
Tips for a Professional Finish
-
Always ensure the floor is clean and dust-free before starting.
-
Measure and cut your threshold accurately to avoid gaps.
-
Use the smallest clips first for flexibility, adding larger clips only if required.
-
Test fit before final pressing to ensure a smooth, level finish.
-
Work slowly along the threshold length for consistent alignment.
