ᐅ Height adjustment between tiles and laminate flooring

Hello,

We have tiles and laminate flooring installed on our ground floor. Unfortunately, no appropriate transition profiles were used at the time. This has become increasingly bothersome. The height difference is about 9mm (0.35 inches). Drilling is not an option because there is underfloor heating installed.

I am considering a profile that could be glued onto both types of flooring. The hardware store couldn’t really help me, and I didn’t find much through online searches either.

Can anyone offer advice or assistance?

Best regards

I find profiles significantly less attractive than a clean edge. My advice: leave it as it is to avoid further frustration.

Is that really laminate? The print looks very realistic, like real plank flooring. May I ask which manufacturer and model line it is?

Regarding your question, I might also suggest wood skirting boards. Perhaps you can find them in a similar color/grain, so you could opt for wood instead of metal. However, I would also leave it as it is.

.. Tear out the laminate and install wood-look tiles

That would be my preferred solution at least.

A profile only makes things much worse. The correct approach would have been to raise the screed or use the solution from @Nice-Nofret. Both options are probably no longer possible, so we'll leave it as it is.

Yes, it is vinyl laminate from the brand Joka 839 Barrel Pine.
Thank you for your feedback.
I had feared that there would be no truly practical solution.
Raising the screed level – unfortunately, we didn’t think of that back then. 🙁
