Premier Z13 in Satin Nickel joins thick carpet to hard flooring with a brushed 13mm profile. A smart solution for securing and concealing floor joins.
Fastest Available Option*
Description
The Premier Z13 door threshold is designed to create a secure and tidy join between thick carpet and hard floor surfaces such as tiles, stone, wood, or thick LVT. Suitable for carpets up to approximately 13mm thick when compressed, it offers a reliable solution for achieving a professional finish across doorways and between rooms.
For carpets of standard thickness (around 8–10mm), the Premier Z9 is generally more appropriate.
For correct installation, both base floors should be level. If there is a slight difference in height, 3mm MDF strips are supplied and can be placed beneath the threshold to raise it slightly, allowing it to sit properly over the edge of the hard flooring.
If required, the carpet can be raised to meet the base pins using Easyshims. Once installed, the threshold can be ‘napped down’ using a carpeted wood block to improve grip and slightly reduce the overall height.
Manufactured from solid brass with rounded edges and finished in satin nickel, this door threshold offers durability along with a clean, modern appearance.

How to Choose the Right Size Door Threshold
Measure the width of your doorway or transition point and select a length slightly longer than required so it can be trimmed for an accurate fit.
This Z13 profile is designed for thicker carpets. If your carpet is thinner, a Z9 threshold may be more suitable.
Make sure the base floors are level before installation. If the hard flooring is slightly higher, use the included MDF strips to raise the threshold. If the carpet needs to be lifted, Easyshims can be used to create a gradual incline.
How to Install a Door Threshold Step-by-Step
Installing a Premier Z13 door threshold can be completed using standard tools:
Measure and cut the threshold to the required length using a hacksaw.
If needed, convert the bar by removing one base section along the scored groove using pliers (turn anti-clockwise).
Position the threshold between the carpet and hard flooring.
Adjust height using MDF strips if necessary.
Fix in place using adhesive, nails, or screws (avoiding underfloor heating).
Press the carpet onto the pins to secure it.
Use a carpeted wood block to ‘nap down’ the carpet for a firmer hold.
Ensure the threshold sits evenly and is fully secure.
Remove one base section to join extra-thick carpets to hard flooring.
Score along the marked groove on the reverse of the Premier Double Z13.Peel off the excess base strip with a pair of pliers.
How to Remove an Existing Door Threshold
Check how the existing threshold has been fixed.
If screws are present, remove them carefully with the correct screwdriver. If nailed, gently lift the threshold using a claw hammer or pry bar.
Release the carpet from the pins before removing the trim, taking care not to damage the surrounding flooring.
Clear away any remaining fixings before installing the new threshold.
