We have recently ordered a new stair carpet which meets wooden floor and ceramic tiled floors at either end. The only threshold bars I can find look cheap and shiny. Can you suggest a more stylish product?

Threshold bars in stainless steel and a satin chrome called Nisheen, as well as Antiqued Brass and Bronze, are made by CAT, and cost from around £35 each. The Posh range of threshold bars from Stairrods comes in polished and antiqued brass, from £23.50 each, and the Joints range in bronze, satin nickel, pewter or chrome finish, costs from £21 each. For solid wood threshold bars including oak, beech and ash, as well as stained finishes, from £9.50 each, try Treadplates.
