How do professionals handle the transition between laminate flooring and tiles? I don’t want to use transition strips, as they don’t look good and disrupt the smooth surface. My idea is to install a tile edge trim. I would then simply seal the gap to the laminate with a silicone sealant. I’m just unsure if this would hold up in the long run, considering the laminate was installed as a floating floor.

This works very well with cork strips. There are special products designed for flooring. They match in color and are water-resistant.

I am facing the same question and was planning to install a silicone joint. However, some people here view that negatively because it doesn’t hold up. Now the question of a threshold comes up. But that means the floor wouldn’t be level anymore. Actually, I didn’t want any tripping hazards.
So I am looking for other options.
