The majority of transitions have frayed carpet to some extent and it's only 2½ years old. It looks nice enough where there's no fraying but it just looks really sh0ddy between our dining and family room where most of the 4-ish metres is frayed. There are three sections like this and the rest isn't much better - I have to keep trimming it otherwise we end up with huge long strands that you trip over. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I'd think really carefully before getting transitions like this - a strip that covers the join might not look quite as nice but it's going to look better than frayed carpet. There's something wrong there I reckon. We have the same style strips between carpet and tiles and our carpet is much older and has worn threadbare in heavily trafficked areas but we have no fraying around the edges! Poor installation in the first place is my guess when its fraying like that and so soon too! 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6209 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 15924 |
