Project Description
Think of flooring trims as jewellery for your floors…
Floor Trims are a necessary accessory for a successful flooring installation!
Aside from Scotia, aluminum trims, or as most people say the ‘bits and pieces, odds and ends’ are used to ensure the optimum performance of your floors and to help with the successful installation and professional finish of your new Clever Floors.
There are a variety of aluminium trims available and they are a cost-effective component to suit a variety of purposes as part of your Clever flooring installation. Trims such as an H Trim will aid in separating rooms or a Universal Cover marking the transition from wood flooring to a different type of flooring for example to the carpet or surfaces of uneven heights. Trims such as a C Trim also serve to cover the necessary expansion gaps at ends for natural movement of your floors.
The ultimate purpose of trims when correctly applied and installed is to avoid after installation issues such as squeaking, cupping, bouncing. To learn more, please refer to our product guidelines and warranty terms and conditions in the technical section for each product range on our Clever website.

Are your high traffic areas and staircases slip-resistant?
Slip-resistant products may be crucial to ensure the safety of your flooring installation for users. Understanding how slip resistance may affect your choices, starts with understanding slip resistance. We have provided a number of valuable reading materials to help you:
- Australian Building Codes Board publication, ‘Slip-resistance for stairways, landings and ramps, Advisory Notes, 2020’, www.abcb.gov.au, click here to view and download the ABCB Advisory Notes
- Australia Timber Flooring Association (ATFA) publication, ‘Understanding Slip Resistance’, Information Sheet #45, September 2016, www.atfa.com.au, click here to view and download the ATFA publication
Slip-Resistant Products
There are a number of products available on the market should you need to improve the slip-resistant ratings for your flooring installation. First learn what the ‘P’ rating is for your flooring choice. You can discover the slip-resistant ratings by requesting an independent test report from your place of purchase or the flooring supplier directly. Sometimes, many flooring suppliers will make the ‘P’ rating very visible as part of their product specifications.
