Transition strips bridge gaps between different flooring types, such as hardwood to tile or carpet to laminate. They prevent tripping hazards, protect edges from wear, and enhance visual flow. Bestcare Facilities Management specializes in installing these strips across Nairobi, Kiambu, and Kenya. Technicians use precision tools to measure, cut, and secure strips without damaging existing floors.
Clients choose from various styles. Metal strips offer strength for high-traffic areas like offices in Westlands or Kilimani. Wood options match wooden floors in homes around Lavington or Karen. Vinyl strips provide flexibility for uneven surfaces in apartments along Thika Road. Stone variants add elegance to upscale villas in Runda or Muthaiga. Each type handles expansion gaps from Kenya's varying humidity and temperatures.
Installation starts with a site visit. Experts assess floor heights, materials, and traffic levels. They recommend the best strip profile—flat, beveled, or T-shaped—to ensure smooth transitions. For instance, in a Kiambu home shifting from ceramic tiles to engineered wood, a beveled aluminum strip conceals a 1/4-inch height difference perfectly.
Installation Process
Teams follow a structured approach to deliver flawless results.
-
Preparation: Remove old strips or debris. Clean surfaces for secure adhesion.
-
Measurement and Cutting: Use laser levels for accuracy. Cut strips on-site with power tools.
-
Fitting: Apply adhesive or nails suited to the substrate. Adjust for subfloor movement.
-
Finishing: Seal edges and test for stability. Clean up immediately.
This process takes 1-2 hours per room, depending on size. In commercial spaces like malls in Kiambu or offices in Nairobi's CBD, larger projects complete in a day with minimal downtime.
Why Choose Transition Strips?
These strips extend floor life by distributing weight evenly. They reduce splintering on wood edges and cracking on tiles. In Kenya's dusty environment, they block dirt accumulation in joints. Homeowners in Ruiru or Juja appreciate how strips maintain aesthetics during seasonal rains, when floors expand.
For businesses, proper transitions comply with safety standards from Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). Slips decrease, boosting liability protection. Schools in Kiambu or hospitals in Nairobi benefit from non-slip metal strips coated for grip.
Customization options abound. Engrave wood strips with patterns or powder-coat metal in bronze for modern looks. Eco-friendly choices use recycled aluminum, aligning with sustainable practices in green buildings around Gigiri.

Bestcare serves Nairobi fully, from Eastlands to Westlands. In Kiambu, coverage includes Thika, Ruiru, Juja, Kikuyu, and Limuru. Nationwide delivery extends to Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu via partnerships. Remote sites get priority scheduling.
