Hi! I am replacing carpet with luxury vinyl planking (over plywood subfloor). Where the new planking will meet the bathroom tile (over backerboard), there will be a 1/2 inch drop when installation is complete. I do not like the "reducer" strips that are customarily used, as the slope is a tell-tale sign that the planking is not real wood. What product can I use to alleviate the dramatic "slope" created by the height differences between the ceramic tile and the vinyl planking?

Hi Lee, Thank you for your question. You can certainly use this product, or Sub-Floor levelers like these products, https://kofflersales.com/p/subfloor-leveler-by-roppe.asp https://kofflersales.com/p/johnsonite-sub-floor-leveler.asp Another option would be a transition strip like this, https://kofflersales.com/p/roppe-wheeled-traffic-transitions.asp?cid=2584 Thank you, The Koffler Team

I am looking at CSR-CO80832-18. Dimensions are 1/4" x 8" x 32". Is the high side 1/4" or the low side? In other words, is the maximum thickness 1/4" or the minimum thickness 1/4". Looks like maximum, but I need to be sure. I plan to use to level plank flooring not carpet. Looks like it should work. You see any issues? I will probably need a couple of cases so I want to be sure it will work before I purchase. Thanks, Bruce Thiele

Hi Bruce, Thank you for your question. Yes, the 1/4" is the high side. As for any other issues it sounds pretty cut and dry. However, without seeing the project it's hard to tell 100%. Please make sure you use the proper underlayment over the shimms. The flooring company will be able to spec that for you. Thank you, The Koffler Team

I'm looking to use this to level a fish tank stand that is 24x24. Once filled with water it will weight 680lbs. Will this composite carpet shim support the weight?

Hi Nicholas, Thank you for your question. Yes, it should support the weight. However, if it gets wet or chemicals spill on it, the material will break down. Also, here is a link to another product to take a look at that won't breakdown from water. However chemicals it may. https://kofflersales.com/p/subfloor-leveler-by-roppe.asp?cid=2584 Thank you, The Koffler Team

• 

• Floor transition height differences no longer a problem with TRAXX Composite Board Carpet Ramps and Shims. Great anytime carpet flooring is installed next to hardwood, ceramic tile, stone, marble, or other hard surface flooring where there is a rise between the sub-floor and the hard surface.

Exactly what we needed

We decided last minute to eliminate the carpet in all 88 units of a new construction 55 and up. Koffler was able to find us an ADA ramp that can be easily placed under vinyl flooring. As a Construction Superintendent I highly recommend Koffler Sales.

I installed some natural stone tiles in my kitchen, hallway and entry way. Because of the various thickness of the stone a lot of mortar was used to level. I had a difference of an inch and a half in transition. Hit all the big chain stores looking for a transition to meet my needs to no avail. Thought about using or cutting my own transition but gave the internet a try and found the TRAXX product-A4722 their largest Carpet shim. Worked perfectly, created the perfect save transition from carpet to tile. carpet tucked nicely to the natural stone , looks great, problem solved
