Hi,
I have a need to protect the wooden door threshold of my kitchen door.
I am thinking aluminium sheet like a kick-plate only bent
It is L shaped 90mmx40mmx835 and needs a slight incline from the back to
the turned edge before it drops, if that can be understood - sorry.
Does anyone have any ideas who might be best to contact for this type of
thing? I am in Chester area.
Thanks.
Stuart.

A local sheet metal place should be able to make something up for you to
your dimensions.
The chances of finding a commercial product "just right" are slim

You might want to consider stainless steel as aluminium will scratch and
ding quite easily.

Try Googling for step covers or stair tread covers.

Ordinary plain ally will look quite scruffy in short order. Anodised will
survive rather better - or ribbed, etc.

Traditionally, it would be brass. If you don't mind looking after it.

Stainless steel would probably be best if you want a more modern look.

Or even glued on ribbed rubber. You can buy that by the metre from the
likes of Woolies.
