If you plan to use two different floor coverings in the room, it is recommended that you first think carefully about the design of the joint between these materials. Tiles are often laid along with the laminate. In this case, it is important to beautifully and practically design the junction.
Using flexible PVC profile
You can make a joint between the tile and the laminate using a flexible PVC profile. When the tile and the laminate are already laid on the floor, there must be a distance between them. It is in this place that the profile will be mounted.
First you need to prepare the holes for the dowels in the existing seam. For this, a hammer drill is used. Next, a PVC profile of the required length is prepared and fixed to the base with self-tapping screws. Before you start laying a flexible profile, it is important to make it softer first. It is worthwhile to put it somewhere for 20 minutes in warm water. At the end, the profile is inserted into the seam. After a click is heard, the profile can be considered fixed.
Installation of a flexible metal profile
In this case, you need to first find out the thickness of the tile and laminate, taking into account the substrate and adhesive composition. It is necessary that they coincide. Next, the metal profile is bent by hands and the desired shape is made, after which it is trimmed. It all depends on how long the profile is needed. Since this profile uses special paws as a fastener, you should fasten it together with the tile. As a result, on the one side of the profile, the foot is fixed with tiles and glue, and on the second side, a substrate and a laminate are used.
It is also allowed to install a metal profile after laying the tiles. But in this embodiment, you will first need to remove the adhesive on the edge of the tile. As for the laminate, its laying should be done with a gap of 5 mm. You can lay the laminate in parts and then push it under the profile.
Laminate must be laid using a floating method. In this regard, it is not allowed to use foam, grout or sealant for sealing joints.
Using a suitable profile, you can make the joint between the laminate and tile almost invisible and beautiful. Such an interesting solution for flooring will make the room more practical and individual. If there are no repair skills, it is better to invite specialists for these purposes.
