Carpet Shims, Ltd. is proud to introduce Extend-A-ShimsTM.
Extend-A-Shims are 6" x 48" and are engineered to be used ONLY with the corresponding 12" x 48" Carpet Shims. When both products (Carpet Shims and Extend-A-Shims) are installed, the transition (ramp) will be 18" long. The combination of Extend-A-Shims and 12" x 48" Carpet Shims meet and/or exceed ADA (American Disability Act) transition requirements, while providing an extremely gentle taper from the hard surface to the sub-floor.End View NOTE: Extend-A-Shims cannot be used without the corresponding Carpet Shims.
