Counter on two floorings - ideas?

Hello,

We have tiles in the kitchen (gray in the picture), which meet the vinyl in the open living room (light brown in the picture).
Now there is an open counter in the kitchen, whose sides (dark brown in the picture) extend from the tile area into the vinyl area.



The height difference here is about 2-3mm at most, and because of these two wooden panels, it makes little sense for us to level the entire living room by 2-3mm.

Do you have any idea how to bridge these spots (about 20cm long)? Rails? Applying silicone/acrylic/something else?

Hello questioner. No, it really didn't make sense to putty over the entire living room just because of the small height difference. You do it so that either the 2mm transition is ramped on or sanded off, or (which is also possible) that the area next to the height difference towards the living room is ramped with putty. Now the height is only 2mm, which is small. There is a "rule of thumb" that per centimeter of height you multiply by the factor 0.6 (the unit is then meters) so that you do not notice the height difference when walking. That would be after [0.2cm x 0.6] = 0.12m width (so about a 1.5cm wide "ramp") that you would have to putty leading to the living room. In the commercial sector, well, there are sometimes quite different height differences.... --------------------- Further good success: KlaRa
