Installation Instructions:

SFS104 5.0mm Diminshing Strip is designed to be used in conjunction with carpet tiles, reducing down to 0.5mm where it meets the hard surface. It is assumed that sub-floors have been prepared according to the relevant Australian/New Zealand Standards (ie. AS/NZ 1428).

1. Recommended fastening methods are bonded, (using a moisture curing high strength urethane adhesive or similar), or drill & plug using 9g x 32mm philips head screw.

2. Firmly retain the diminishing strip against the installed tiles to ensure no gapping. Mark out in a straight line and drill a 6mm hole through the trim, into the slab to a depth of not greater than 35mm, and secure using a plug and countersunk screw. Repeat this process down the length of the finish.

3. A bead of mastic adhesive or silicone can be applied beneath the diminishing strip to ensure that sub-floor irregularities are isolated.
