Transition, slope, reducer from thick rug to wood floor

HU-185922477
last year

I am planning to put down several large rugs with a very thick underlay to reduce the noise to flat below. Currently there are wooden floors that I do not want to damage. I am concerned with the transition from high rug to the lower wood floor regarding tripping and aesthetics of the height change. To resolve this I plan not to bring the underlay to the edge of the rug but to stop around 30cm from the edge and then use a wedge or reducer to slope the carpet down to floor level.

I have googled for such a product and although I see plenty on US sites I cannot find one to purchase in the UK. Can someone please help me locate this kind of product or suggest another solution. Thank you in advance.

    What material is the wedge reducer made out of? You could ask a carpenter to make one out out of timber and either paint or stain it.

    Sounds like a trip hazard even if it’s sloped. My OH seems to trip over my almost completely flat rug…….

    Inderlayer does not need to be thicker and noise will still travel, maybe better to see underlay options
