Hello,
we have 2 transitions from parquet to tiles. One at the fireplace, one from the living room to the kitchen.
The parquet moves about 5 mm up and down at the edges, especially at the kitchen. At the fireplace I used liquid cork for the joint. This is now coming off due to the movement. How can I fix the parquet so that I have a durable solution?
Thank you very much!
Sina

Possibly screwed through fixation using a transition profile?

Hello "Sinovia". One must fundamentally assume with loose laying of wood-based flooring, cork, but also multi-layer parquet, that the edges of the top flooring slightly lift at the borders due to several probable causes, causing a "springing" sensation when walked upon. The fault therefore already lay in the installation, as the end profile should have been secured to the substrate by screwing or gluing, without impairing the movement of the floor elements. Retrofitting this craft-wise is possible, but a "fiddly job". It could be achieved at the cost of a slightly wider transition strip. However, for this the transition edge of the multi-layer parquet would need to be shortened by a few centimeters (so that the base profile body can be placed under the elements and glued securely). Personally, I do not think much of under-injection and similar methods, since this (if the parquet edge is not shortened) would inevitably be uncontrolled due to the few centimeters of "working space", leaving no way to estimate whether enough adhesive has reached under the (non-shortened) parquet elements. Furthermore, this would negate the floating installation, thereby violating the professional standards. In addition, the parquet level will tear the (already weak) glue joint upon the first expansion. What remains, ultimately, is only the subsequent installation of a two-part transition profile. --------------------- Regards and a good decision: KlaRa

Is it possible, in an emergency, to screw such a transition profile directly into the screed?

Certainly, that is also possible if there is sufficient working width between the parquet elements and the ceramic tiles.
Therefore, a slightly wider transition profile, glued or dowelled onto the screed, is indeed a way to correct the current state.
