idea, of course, interesting, but got a question: "How close such a complex joint beautiful and practical at the same time?".

Docking tiles and laminate receiving is just At the entrance locationWhich will inevitably dirt and the load on the junction.

In such circumstances, be used to design a joint cork expansion joint or grout for joints impractical.

Typically, the installation of this profile produced at the stage of laying tile and special fastening elements (teeth) factory tile and fixed tile adhesive the floor surface.

But in this case, the tile was laid much earlier.

Then it was decided a standard solution.

Metal profile mounted on the contrary.

For this purpose, the profile caused markup and through it with the help of end-saws made gashes.

Then, ready strips placed in their places and using a punch on each side of the angle (between teeth) Drill holes.

Then scored dowels and using self-tapping screws fixed metal profile to the floor.

We then proceeded to the packing laminate. Same caused markup on sipes sawed off in size and brought into the groove metal profiles on the other hand.
