As you likely know, transition strips are designed to create safe transitions between varying surface types and levels. This adds visual appeal and increases safety by reducing the chances of trips and falls.
There are many types of transition strips on the market. The one we will address in this article is the Clip-Top range by Gradus. While Gradus Clip-Top transition strips are not for everyone, they are worth considering if you are looking for a long-lasting product.
The main difference between most products on the market and those made by Gradus is that Gradus transition strips are coextruded.
On the bottom part, the transition strip is made of unplasticized PVC (uPVC), which provides a rigid base. The uPVC on the bottom, as well as an additional aluminum base, add rigidity that will not shrink or expand.
Installation is a relatively simple 3-step process:
These transitions are very durable, making them ideal for high-traffic, frequently cleaned locations like schools.
The last thing you want is to receive a call from a customer because of shrinkage or expansion of transition strips that you installed. What we love most about the Gradus products is that they offer a secure, long-lasting, transition strip.
