M-D Building Products 43318 M-D Reducer Flute with Snap Track, Aluminum, Satin Nickel, 36"

Great quality, about 2mm thick aluminum strip. I was very dubious about just sticking the attachment strip onto the floor using the tape so I predrilled 4 holes to help hold it in place with screws (sorry 3M).My father in law is now able to get in and out of the room with ease in his wheelchair, due to the flat slope of the reducer.

As someone who has never replaced one of these, it was super easy! It has stayed in place and looks good so far!

easy to install and good quality ,worked great!

Does what it's supposed to but the strip that sticks to the floor was useless for me, I had to use industrial glue. All in all if you have a difference of about 1/2 an inch or less it works perfectly.

Manufacturer changed colors of the item, but not the description. "Satin Nickel" does not mean what it used to if you've ordered this before. Not a shipping error, not an instance of receiving the wrong color, "satin nickel" was on several packages. I'll explain further:It is pretty odd. I purchased this item when I redid the floor in my living room. I scoured the internet and the big box stores for reducers that weren't tacky silver, gold, or light grain wood colors.. which apparently is 90 percent of the market for these items. In any event, I found this product, which was described as 'satin nickel' but at the time had images of a nice light brown with a hint of bronze (see my image, the reducer on the bottom). This was when I purchased this item for the first time, around summer 2014/5.Roughly one year ago, I was fixing a transition from tile to hardwood in my in-laws house, and I again ordered this part. I went directly to my order history, and re-ordered it. I again got the same color.A week or so ago, I decided to finally replace the rest of the transition pieces and reducers in my home to match this one, since I liked the color and build quality so much. I again went direct to my order history, verified it was the same product I received the last 2 times and re-ordered along with the transition pieces this time. See attached picture again (top reducer). Note, this isn't a shipping error.. or an error of receiving the wrong color, all three of my orders say "Satin Nickel". Now I know what you're probably thinking, and I agree, a light brownish bronze is not satin nickel, and the current representation is probably more accurate, which is likely why the company changed it. That is probably the case, but where did the the light brown/bronze go?! It's not on the manufacturer's website. I've found what looks like it on ace's website under the same manufacturer with a different color name (if that is to be trusted) and no matching transition pieces.The 2 reducers I have installed have been great. They don't scratch or chip, despite walking over them with boots constantly and my dog running across them, they are a perfect, nice color, and were super easy to install. I have to knock stars for completely altering a color and removing it from your company's catalog though. This is just flabbergasting from a consumer standpoint. Now I have to remove the reducer that is currently installed, and find a new product so they all can match.EditAdded a star back. Found the matching color at Lowe's under the color "spice". Still not certain if I got extremely unlucky and had two spice reducers come in satin nickel packaging, or if the company decided to go more silvery for satin nickel and then later offered the original color as "spice". In either event, now we (and hopefully any others running into the same issue) know.
