Flooring Universal Cover - Black (Code: 20)

Universal Cover Trims

Our 2700mm long timber-design aluminium universal cover trim is the perfect choice when your flooring joins to another floor of the same height or slightly different height.

How to Order Universal Cover Trims:

1. Calculate Lengths Required - measure up your total metres required and divide by 2.7m and round upwards to the nearest length.
2. Choose the Correct Colour - options include:
   1. Choosing from the photo in the gallery above - we try and make digital photos accurate, but variations do occur between devices / screens.
   2. Ordering a $5 colour sample of a few colours to find the closest match (scroll to bottom for details).
   3. If you are ordering one of our floors, we have pre-matched the trims for you already when you select "Add Accessories" on the flooring page.
3. Choose the Correct Thickness - add up the total thickness of the floor + underlay (if applicable). The base kit is different for each floor e.g. a 6.5mm hybrid has a total thickness of 6.5mm and would use the 6mm - 7mm Base Kit and a 14mm Engineered Oak with 3mm Rubber Underlay would have a total thickness of 17mm thick and use the 13 - 17mm Base Kit.

How to Install Universal Cover Trims

1. Adhere the Base to the subfloor using our Fast-Grab MS Adhesive - a strong and flexible construction adhesive that can be applied with an Adhesive Gun.
2. Install the flooring - according to flooring instructions and ensure an expansion gap e.g. 10mm is left.
3. Install the Top Trim - slide the top strip into the cover trim and press the top trim into the base, covering flooring on both sides.

Our trims are designed for use in domestic and light commercial applications. It is not recommended in any area that will have stock trolleys or high point loads rolling over the trim.

Why Are Trims Important to Flooring?

Trims provide room for floor expansion and contraction and are vital to ensuring the longevity of your floor. Without the correct trims, flooring may buckle, warp or "come upwards" when there is insufficient room for the boards to move. It can also cause damage to the joints and locking systems from too much pressure. All our aluminium trims are 2700mm long, completely waterproof, and mould / rust resistant.

Viewing Colours Online

Please note that colours may appear differently on various screens due to differences in display settings and lighting conditions. We strive to provide accurate representations, but actual product colours may vary slightly from what you see.

Recommended Colours

For all of our flooring products, we have pre-selected the best matching trim colours on each product page. We have the biggest aluminium colour range in Australia, with over 20 colours, but in many instances we can only get to close-match, not exact match.

Colour Sampling

We now provide a COLOUR only sample service - we will post a colour sample to you (not the specific trim you are after). Due to the co-ordination and time involved, we do charge $5 per colour sample. Each colour sample is approximately 10 - 15cm long.
