Isn't that "easy-shims" product just some 3mm hardboard and carpet gripper in a box?

3mm hardboard and carpet gripper that will stop my ensuite entrance looking ridiculous!

It will work with some plywood from B & Q and a carpet gripper, my husband has done this in most rooms to bring up the height of the floor to make it flush with the carpeted rooms. Cheaper too.

No it's a feather edge to 6mm and upwards to catch the higher level of a floor.

4mm being the thinnest ply available would grin through a carpet in time.

You're possibly right there. But as I replace the carpeted rooms every 3/4 years (I only have carpet in two rooms of house), then I don't think it will be a problem. The carpets are currently 2.5 years old and no signs of wear because of the plywood yet, but I have taken notice of your comments.


OP, best to go with Shimeasy if you are planning to have your carpet for a length of time.

Yes, it would also depend on the quality of underlay and the traffic.
