Transition strip

A transition strip for covering a gap between two spaced floor finishes on a subfloor comprising:

• (a) a strip extending along a longitudinal axis and presenting in cross-section to said longitudinal axis:
• (i) an upper surface adapted for covering the gap;
• (ii) spaced first and second legs depending from said strip, said first leg longer than said second leg;
• (iii) a first lower surface portion extending outwardly from said first leg said first lower surface portion adapted to cover one edge of the two spaced floor finishes;
• (iv) a second lower surface portion extending outwardly from said second leg, said second lower portion, adapted to cover an edge of the other one of the two spaced floor finishes;
• (v) said first leg having a bottom and first angled portion, wherein either one of said bottom or first angled portion selectively contacts said subfloor.

A method of covering a gap between a first and second spaced floor finish on a substrate comprising:

• (a) placing a transition strip having an upper surface and two spaced legs depending from said strip, wherein on of the legs is longer than the other, and the legs are disposed with the gap;
• (b) covering the gap by placing the strip into any of the orientation where the strip:
• (i) is substantially horizontal relative the substrate with the legs spaced from the substrate;
• or
• (ii) disposed at a first acute angle relative the substrate where both legs contact the substrate;
• or
• (iii) disposed at a second acute angle relative to the substrate where one of the legs contacts the substrate and the second leg has been removed.

A method of covering a gap between a first and second spaced floor finish on a substrate comprising:

• (a) placing a transition strip having an upper surface and two spaced legs depending from said strip, wherein on of the legs is longer than the other, and the legs are disposed with the gap;
• (b) selectively orientating the transition strip where the upper surface covers the gap and;
• (i) is substantially horizontal with the legs spaced from the substrate;
• or
• (ii) disposed at a first acute angle relative the substrate where both legs contact the substrate;
• or
• (iii) disposed at a second acute angle relative to the substrate where one of the legs contacts the substrate and the second leg has been removed;
• wherein the floor finishes are selected from the group consisting of carpet, hardwood floor, wood floor, linoleum, ceramic tile;
• wherein said first spaced floor finish is wood and said second floor finish is ceramic tile and the upper surface is substantially horizontal with said first and second legs spaced from said substrate;
• and
• wherein said first space floor finish, is wood having a tongue extending therefrom, and the second floor finish is carpet, and the upper surface is orientated at the first acute angle, where both legs contact the substrate.
