Hello everyone,

my flooring is finally ordered, but I am still missing the transition profiles. In principle, there are quite different variants:
- Only self-adhesive stuck from above onto the laminate
- Connected with a rail that is glued or screwed onto the screed
- The connection with the lower rail can be clipped or screwed.

Are the cheap self-adhesive variants any good if I use them for connections in the door area? There is no height difference here.

In the transition from the wooden stairs to the laminate and from tiles to the laminate, I have approximately 5mm height difference. Can I safely use these clipped variants there? Or should I definitely screw the upper profile to the lower one? For aesthetic reasons, I would like to avoid visible screws.

Thank you very much, Tassimat

I built a house last year with these glued profiles. I was more than skeptical, but so far it works. You can tell, conviction sounds different. My long-tested favorite is the clip variant, screwed at the bottom, clipped at the top. It should last at least 15 years. Be careful not to drill into the underfloor heating. Get advice at a specialist store, there you will definitely get a professional opinion and you can touch the products directly. That often helps.

The specialty store unsettled me, which is why I am interested in second opinions here. Thank you already for your experience report.

My salesperson at the specialty store said that only the most expensive version with screws is any good. We shouldn't take the clip version because it would break when removing it again. Either we should go directly for the expensive version, or if we want to save, then glue it very cheaply. "If botch, then do it right," he said.

Here in my rental apartment, the profiles are also glued on. I once pried one off to lay a cable underneath. It still holds with the cable and without having applied new glue.

With the screwed ones, the problem is that there is always an expansion joint in the screed in the door area, where the skirting board is usually supposed to go. If you drill there, the screed edge breaks off. I therefore glued the lower skirting board to the screed with mounting adhesive; the transition profile is classically screwed to the skirting board. With the chosen material/color combination of screws/transition profiles, it also looks good.

We did the same during the renovation of our apartment. It has held firmly and without any problems for 6 years now.
