Joint of the laminate and tiles: 2 best way

For rooms often choose flooring - laminate, a kitchen, bathroom - tiles. How can I make a neat seam between the two floor coverings?

Some use a nut, or a foam sealant, or simply interface used cork compensator. The use of rubber in the joints did not justify itself, because tire after a while coarsens. We will look at two of the best ways.

No matter what kind of floor coverings: tiles - tiles, laminate flooring - carpet, etc... The junction can close the passage of different levels 2 flooring. There sills that solve this problem.

cork compensator

The strip made of natural material - pressed cork. The material is excellent withstand different temperature gradients. Cork strip can be inserted into the seam of any shape. Compensator fits into any coating. Cork can be compressed if the next underlying coatings begin to expand.

The edges of two floor coverings must be the same height. Edge of the tile (if cut) must be sanded. Convenient because cork compensator can be cut at the desired height.

There are commercially available liquid cork compensator.

MinusIf a lot of water gets, the plug swells. Therefore it is not recommended to install it in the bathroom. But there are specials. hermetic structure. Cork, treated them solve the problem. The length of the cork compensator only 1 meter.

Is there some more minus: Cork is able to absorb and retain a smell.

sealant

For this process, it is important to make a gap which extends between the laminate and the wall so the maximum extent possible in your case. If you can not make a gap, break through the plaster on the wall. This must be done in order to laminate it was the place where to go.

An important point - fixing the edge of the laminate in place of contiguity tiles. Remove the number of laminate, cut substrate. Should be left bare base of about 10 cm. Now you need to stick to the adhesive edge of the laminate. It is better to use glue Makrofleks FT 101, parquet glue or Soudal Fix All. But the first and last option is preferable.
