Transition profile tiles -> vinyl flooring in "beautiful"

Thank you very much for all the answers, especially to , always very helpful

Nice:

Please excuse me for digging up this old thread again, but we are currently facing the same problem. We would also like to use the nice variant with our click vinyl, as we really do not find transition profiles appealing.

Now the question arises for me, how big is the risk. Of course, we would pay attention to the wall gaps (5-10mm) throughout the entire room. Only in the door area would we like to lay the vinyl directly against the edge strip of the tiles. How great is the risk that we will experience problems because of this? We are talking about an area of "only" one meter where we would not maintain the recommended gap.

Has anyone perhaps already gained experience with this? How did you solve it back then, ?

had already bought transition profiles for all doors. But in the end, I was not willing to accept the visual disaster ;-)

My picture shows the transition from click parquet (living kitchen) to tiles (bathroom). The living kitchen is about 5m deep, the bathroom 3m. It has been this way for 2 years now, and there have been no problems so far. I tried to make the joint perfectly parallel ;-) by manually working and fitting the last narrow strip of parquet for a long time. Then I had the painter fill the joint with permanently elastic joint compound.

For my tenant above me, I had the transition from click vinyl (living kitchen) to tiles (bathroom) made exactly the same way. Here too, I manually worked the last piece of vinyl until the edge to the tiles was almost perfect. To this day, there have been no problems with the transition. Soon I will have a little cabinet built under the stairs upstairs. On that occasion, I would be happy to provide a photo.

My solution may drive a professional floor layer to despair ;-), but it holds perfectly and was the most pleasant solution for me (not the easiest, the small strip of parquet cost me several hours).

P.S. The visible screw hole (in the eye of the knot) could be closed almost invisibly, but I want to be reminded of the craftsmanship task I solved when looking at the screw ... The screw itself is technically necessary and indispensable.

Thank you for the update. We will probably implement it the same way here. The only difference is that our laying direction will not be parallel to the joint, but perpendicular. However, I don’t see any major problems getting it done neatly. I have deliberately planned plenty of time for the installation.

Why the screw? Did you use it to fix the parquet? Did it work without a screw for the click vinyl of your tenant?

Thank you for the update. We will probably implement it the same way here. The only difference is that our installation direction will not be parallel to the joint, but transverse. However, I don't see any major problems achieving a clean result here. I have deliberately planned plenty of time for the installation. Why the screw? Did you use it to fix the parquet? Did the click vinyl of your tenant work without a screw as well?

The click vinyl upstairs at my tenant's place works without a screw :cool:. I made the narrow strip of parquet manually, and since there is no transverse joint in the door area (the planks clamp together there), I had to hold this somehow at the bottom so as not to stress the joint too much. So I screwed the strip to the substructure. I have suitable wooden dowels to cover this, but ....

Hello , nice that the thread has come back up :)

So, back then we actually realized the transition directly with a very narrow silicone joint "just like that" and only glued down the first vinyl plank to the floor. It's probably not 100% professionally correct now, but it has held without any problems for over 3 years and above all looks much better than any skirting boards. I am satisfied and would do it exactly the same way again :D
