Where do transition strips typically meet?

Transition strips are specifically designed to create a smooth and visually appealing transition between two different flooring types. This is particularly important as different flooring materials have varying heights, textures, and finishes, which, if not properly addressed, could lead to safety hazards or an unfinished appearance.

When flooring types, such as carpet and hardwood or tile, are adjacent to one another, transition strips aid in bridging the gap. They help prevent tripping hazards while ensuring that the joints between different flooring materials have a clean and polished look. This function is essential in both residential and commercial spaces where aesthetic and functionality are priorities.

The other situations mentioned, such as where carpet meets another carpet type or where wall panels meet the flooring, do not typically require transition strips. Transition strips are specifically designed to accommodate the differences between flooring types, not the same type of flooring or wall-to-floor transitions.
