<p>The invention relates to edging strips for fixing floorcoverings, which are particularly suitable for use as dividers between adjacent floor areas. The edging strip (1) comprises interfitting housing and insert strips (2, 3), the housing strip (2) fitting within the floor surface and presenting an upper edge portion (4) flush with the surface of the floorcovering (18) and the insert strip (3) providing a recessed upper surface to which the underside of the floorcovering edge is fixed, co-operating interlocking means (9, 13 to 15) being provided whereby the insert strip fixedly locates on the housing strip by pressing down along the length of said insert strip. The insert strip (3) has a locking projection along one edge for engaging in a co-operating recess (6) in the housing strip (2) and a resilient tongue (13) along its other edge projecting downwardly for engaging in a further co-operating recess (7) in the housing strip. The tongue has a locking projection (15) for catching behind a co-operating locking projection (9) in said further recess. The invention provides an edging strip which, when used as a divider, provides a smooth transition between divided floor areas and prevents damage to the floorcovering edges.</p> |
