Curved Border between Tiles and Laminate

glaston

I want to put down laminate flooring beside tiles. The tiles are already laid and height is about the same a the laminate plus underlay so I dont think I need a step.

I have a curved section where the tile and laminate meet. Can anybody recommend what I can put at the border between the two?

Thanks!

I wouldn't do it.

Try to keep the two sides perfectly level with each other.

Consider using a metal strip (flat or vertical) between the two.

I dont have a pic at the moment (not currently in the house), but here is the same thing in a friends house. Unfortunately they dont know what it is as its been down a number of years and the carpenter is no longer in the country.
It seems like some type of soft plastic.

You could try bending a t section interface if the radius of the curve is not too severe. - that's what it looks like in the photo. You will pick them up in any flooring/carpet place.

If a t section is used, it will need to be a narrow top profile on it. Anything wider than 10 or 15mm and it wont really curve.

Leave a 5-6mm gap between tiles and wooden floor and fill the gap with a grey tube of Tech 7.Then smooth off to give a clean flowing look.

Thats what the builder did for us (solid marble tile to white oak flooring) and it worked an absolute treat.:)

No need for unsightly trims or border strips.

Simples.:)

A laminate floor floats so there will be movement
