FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Cayrus A01 door trim?

The primary purpose is to create a safe, smooth, and visually appealing transition between different types of flooring, especially when they are at different heights.

Can this trim be used for external doors?

The product description does not specify outdoor use. It is typically designed for interior applications connecting indoor flooring types.

What is the maximum height difference this trim can accommodate?

The description highlights it connects floors at 'different levels'. Specific maximum height differences are not detailed, but it's designed for typical transition needs, not extreme drops. Visual inspection of the profile or consultation with the manufacturer may be needed for precise limits.

How do I ensure the color matches my decor?

Due to potential variations in screen display and lighting, it is strongly recommended to obtain an actual product sample before purchasing to verify the color, texture, and grain.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need a measuring tape, a pencil, a saw for metal (like a hacksaw), and appropriate fixings (screws or adhesive) suitable for your subfloor.

How long is the product?

The product is available in a length of 900mm.

What material is the trim made of?

The trim is made of durable, anodised aluminium.

Troubleshooting

Trim does not sit flush on one side.

Check the subfloor levelness. Ensure the flooring on the lower side is adequately supported or shimmed to match the height where the trim meets the higher floor.

Difficulty cutting the aluminium trim.

Use a fine-toothed hacksaw or a specialized metal-cutting blade. Ensure the trim is securely clamped while cutting to prevent movement.

Fixings are not holding the trim securely.

Ensure you are using fixings appropriate for your subfloor type (e.g., masonry plugs for concrete, appropriate screws for wood). If using adhesive, ensure surfaces are clean and dry.

The gold color appears different from expected.

As noted, product images may not perfectly represent color. Viewing a physical sample is the best way to confirm the shade. Variations in lighting can also affect perceived color.

  • Color and texture representation in images may vary; physical samples are recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the width of the doorway and the height difference between the two flooring surfaces.
  2. Cut the Cayrus A01 trim to the exact width of the doorway using an appropriate cutting tool for metal (e.g., a hacksaw or metal-cutting saw).
  3. Prepare the subfloor by ensuring both flooring surfaces are securely laid and level at the point of transition.
  4. Position the trim to cover the gap between the flooring materials, ensuring it sits flush on both sides.
  5. Secure the trim using appropriate fixings (screws or adhesive, depending on subfloor and manufacturer recommendations) through the pre-drilled holes or by adhering it firmly to the subfloor.

Compatibility:

This trim is compatible with a wide array of flooring types including, but not limited to:

  • Wooden flooring
  • Laminate flooring
  • Carpet
  • Vinyl flooring
  • Tiled floors

It is designed for floors with different levels, bridging gaps up to the maximum height difference it can accommodate based on its profile. Always check the specific height tolerance for your installation.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and integrity of the anodised aluminium finish:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the anodised surface.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
