Practical doorway threshold and floor transitions across DA14/DA15
The right answer for a Sidcup floor depends on condition, room use and access—not just appearance. We measure both finished floor heights, check door clearance and select a profile suited to the two materials being joined. The transition is designed with the floor build-up, not added as an afterthought once both sides are complete. The visit covers DA14/DA15 and nearby neighbourhoods listed on our Sidcup area page.
