Can you really do that so easily without causing more damage than it helps? Maybe I'm blind, but where on the photos was it not laid continuously? Maybe it would be an option to just replace the cork with a better color.
Cork joints are visible in all door areas. Although I find the cork joints terribly ugly, they are reportedly necessary according to the parquet installer, they must not be cut crooked. For example, a cork joint at the left corner is 1.7 cm, at the right corner 0.8 cm. There is no DIN standard that allows cork joints to be crooked. The parquet installer’s suggestion was to straighten all crooked joints. That again means they will become oversized everywhere. There are a total of 7 cork expansion joints. All were cut untidily and unevenly and crooked. Visitors have already asked, "Is it going to stay like this?" For a contract amount of almost 25,000 EUR, this is unacceptable. Especially the cork joints between tiles and parquet were impossible. Since I could no longer look at them, I repaired them myself (see pictures bathroom and guest WC). From the start, I did not want any transition profiles, but now I think this is a good solution. The other transitions will be repaired sometime later. A good parquet installer today can cut out and replace a plank from the middle of a room. In the other door areas, one plank each has to be replaced; in the bathrooms it would be six planks each.
