Hello everyone,
in our newly built house, we have a concrete staircase with glued parquet flooring on top. The edge of the staircase or step follows the shape of the stairs. Adjacent to this, the parquet is installed as a floating floor.
The carpenter has resolved this with a transition strip, which not only looks unattractive but also has sharp edges at the ends, making it dangerous (see photo). Is this correct?
Are there any other possible solutions?
Thank you very much for your help!

I still don’t think a transition strip is the perfect solution there. But it looks much more harmonious now, and if you are satisfied, that’s a significant improvement.Yes, we had also hoped for some kind of stair nosing profile or cork, but the problem is actually the floating parquet flooring, which moves, so the strip is probably the best technical solution.
Cork or silicone would likely only work with glued parquet.
But now it looks like a proper stair edge, and compared to before, it’s much, much better...

That is a really beautiful looking parquet. How much did it cost including installation?This is Kährs Oak Jersey, about 99 € per m² (9.2 $ per ft²) – definitely not cheap. But we love the honey tone and the beveled edges.
Installation cost was 17 € per m² (1.6 $ per ft²) – which is the usual price here in a big city...
