To ensure that your ramp fits perfectly later on, we have put together a few tips for you here on how to measure your threshold correctly. If you pay attention to them, nothing will stand in the way of your perfect doorstep ramp.<\/p>

Please note<\/b>:
All dimensions are given in millimeters (mm<\/b> ). 10 mm correspond to 1 cm.<\/p>

To get the measurement in centimeters, you have to divide the millimeter value by 10 and vice versa.
e.g.<\/b><\/u>:
<\/span>1 cm = <\/span>1<\/span>0 mm
<\/span>89 cm = 890 mm<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In this case, the ramp length should correspond to the distance between the two outer sides of the door frame to create a homogeneous overall appearance. As the upper floor level is usually used as the basis for installing new doors where there are height differences between rooms, there is a free space under the projection of the door frame in the direction of the lower room. In this case, we recommend the configuration of a platform that adjoins the sloping part of the ramp. <\/span>and underlays the overhang of the door frame.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The height of a threshold in the house is often not uniform, so that you measure a different value on the left-hand side of the threshold than on the right-hand side. You can select this via the “History” entry in the configurator.

The ramp height corresponds to the height difference that is to be overcome with the help of the ramp. The height of the door threshold from the lower to the upper level is measured. If the ramp is installed with the optionally available mounting tape, there is no relevant allowance (approx. 0.15 mm), so this type of installation does not have to be taken into account when configuring the ramp height. If the measured height is between two mm increments, it should always be rounded down to the next smaller millimeter increment (e.g. measured 32.6 mm is rounded down to 32 mm ramp height).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    We offer two different incline angles for our door threshold ramps. The standard incline of 15\u00b0 is suitable for almost every robot hoover on the market. The only known exceptions are the models from the manufacturer ECOVACS and the Roborock S7. For these cases, we recommend the “Flat” slope variant with an angle of 10\u00b0.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
