Doorend (End Cap/End Molding)
This refers to the molding or trim piece used to finish the edge of the SPC flooring installation at an exterior door, sliding glass door, or where the floor meets a fireplace hearth.
The correct, industry term for this accessory is typically an End Cap or End Molding.
💡 Function of the SPC End Cap:
- Finishing: It provides a clean, professional, and finished edge to the exposed cut of the SPC plank.
- Transition: It creates a smooth, tapered transition when the SPC floor meets a lower surface (like a concrete patio outside a sliding door) or a vertical surface (like a door jamb or masonry).
- Protection: It protects the edge of the SPC flooring from damage (like chips or wear) and prevents dirt or debris from getting underneath.
- Expansion Gap Cover: Crucially, it covers the necessary expansion gap (the small space left between the flooring and the wall/door frame) that allows the floating SPC floor to expand and contract naturally.
