What Is an Interior Threshold?
An interior threshold is a wood transition piece installed in a doorway to bridge the gap between two flooring surfaces. It is commonly used where one type of flooring meets another, such as:
- Carpet to hardwood
- Tile to laminate
- Floors with slightly different heights
Interior thresholds serve both a practical and decorative purpose. They help:
- Cover gaps between adjacent floors
- Create a finished look at door openings
- Reduce tripping hazards and drafts
- Provide a clean base for door closures and sweeps
Interior Threshold Styles We Offer
We offer a variety of widths and profiles to suit different flooring transition needs. Every option is made from unfinished solid wood, giving you the flexibility to stain or paint the threshold to coordinate with your flooring, trim, or overall interior style.
ADA and Accessibility-Friendly Thresholds
For spaces that require an accessible, low-profile transition, our ADA-compliant interior thresholds are an excellent choice.
These solid hardwood thresholds are designed to meet ADA height limits, staying under 1/2 inch while still providing a smooth transition between floor surfaces.
ADA-compliant thresholds are ideal for areas where:
- Wheelchair access is important
- Minimal step height is preferred
- A smoother, safer transition is needed
How to Choose the Right Interior Threshold
Selecting the right threshold depends on your flooring layout and the look you want to achieve. Here are a few things to consider:
Match floor heights
Choose a threshold profile that bridges the height difference between adjoining floors for a cleaner, more level transition.
Consider width
Wider thresholds can help blend larger changes in flooring or create a broader, more decorative seam at the doorway.
Think about finish
Because all of our thresholds are made from unfinished solid hardwood, they can be stained or painted to match your interior design.
Installation and Customizing Tips
A few simple steps can help you get the best results from your threshold installation:
Finish both sides before installation
Stain and paint both sides of the threshold before installing it. This makes finishing easier, creates cleaner edges once mounted, and helps keep the wood more stable as it responds to expansion and contraction. You may still need to do minor touch-up work after installation.
Measure carefully
Before selecting a threshold style, measure both the doorway width and the height difference between the two flooring surfaces.
Trim on site if needed
Most hardwood thresholds can be cut to the exact length you need using common woodworking tools.
Complete Your Doorway with the Right Threshold
A well-chosen interior threshold does more than cover a seam—it creates a polished transition that improves both appearance and function. Whether you need a standard wood threshold or an ADA-compliant option, unfinished solid hardwood gives you the flexibility to customize the final look to match your space.
With a range of styles, widths, and profiles available, it’s easy to find the right fit for your project.
