- We have a new product designed to overcome the problem that exists in almost every home - the difference in heights between flooring. Carpets can be ramped up to 20mm to give a smooth transition; ideal for wheel chair access or simply levelling the height between 2 rooms.
- Easyshims are for use when installing carpet next to hardwood, ceramic tile, stone and marble floors. They give a flush transition in doorways when there is a difference in height between the surface in one room and another.
- Easyshim Technical Information - Each shim is 36" / 91cm wide with an 8" / 20cm ramp. They are available in heights of 6mm, 9mm, 12mm and 15mm.
- Choosing the Right Shim - Subtract 12mm from the height of the hard floor (standard carpet thickness including gripper). For thin carpet use thicker shims and for thick carpet use thinner shims.
- Leave a ¼" / 6mm gap between the carpet shim and the hard surface. For thin carpet decrease the gap and for thick carpet increase the gap…
- Install the gripper on top of the Easyshim maintaining the ¼" / 6mm gap. Install underlay and carpet, tucking the carpet into the ¼" / 6mm gap. Hammer the pins down with a hammer to prevent the pins from poking through. Use Side Shims where the Easyshim protrudes into a hall way / room.
