Product Description
Carpet shims – Easyshim create a ramp under your carpet to lift it level with the adjoining floor
A simple and cost effective solution to a common problem
- Pack of 4 Carpet shims – Easyshim raise the level of your carpet in a doorway, creating a smooth transition or join with an adjoining, higher floor.
- These carpet shims measure around 915mm wide (around 36″) with a 200mm long (around 8″) ramp. They are offered in a choice of thicknesses.
- Sold in a pack of 4 x shims, which is sufficient for two doorways. You can also cut side shims from them, if required – see video. Please note this product comes in a box of 4 Easyshims (not the fitter’s bulk pack of 10, as shown in the videos).
- Ideal if your tiled bathroom floor, or similar, is higher than your landing or hall carpet.
- These carpet shims create a smooth, level surface for easy joining with a standard door threshold or cover plate and are hidden beneath your carpet.
- They provide a firm sub-floor as it slopes towards the higher, adjoining flooring.
- This blog explains in more detail how you can calculate which size of shim you need and also provides some useful examples.
Size options
- These carpet shims – Easyshim come in a choice of 4 thicknesses/heights: 6mm, 9mm, 12mm or 15mm
- To calculate which one you need: deduct the thickness of your carpet plus underlay and gripper strip from the height of your finished hard floor. The bigger the difference, the thicker the Easyshim you will require.
