Whether you call our products a flooring transition, flooring ramp, carpet lifter, carpet shim, a shim to raise carpet, floor transition, floor ramp, or a carpet ramp, it should all mean the same and you have come to right place. Carpet Shims are applicable anywhere you are installing carpet next to hardwood, ceramic tile, stone, marble or any other situation where there is a rise between the sub-floor and the hard surface.
