Transition profiles and their application

Do you actually need transition profiles? That might be the wrong question; a better one would be: When is it a good idea to use transition strips?
There are a number of different reasons for this. Firstly, transition profiles wonderfully separate different sections of a room. That means, if you have a living room with carpet flooring simply because it's warmer and more comfortable, and the other side of the room has a dining table with parquet flooring, you can use a transition profile as a natural room divider.
The most common use of such profiles is between two rooms, as this is where changes in different floor coverings occur most frequently. Smaller height differences can also be elegantly bridged without much effort.
In this segment of flooring work, there is an incredible variety of systems, such as self-adhesive profiles, screw-fastened profiles, T-shaped transition profiles, and multi-functional transition profiles. In the following sections, we will take a closer look at these variants. Let's start with the simplest and probably oldest system.

Option 1: The Classic
Everyone knows it: a flat profile, in this case made of gold anodized aluminum, which is simply screwed into the ground. If necessary, you should make sure that the screws are screwed in far enough and roughly match the color of the profile.

Option 2: The Upgrade
A similar variant in terms of profile shape are our self-adhesive transition profiles, which offer two significant advantages over our classic version: firstly, these self-adhesive profiles are extremely easy to install on the floor. Secondly, no screws or other tools are needed or visible.

Variant 3: The T-Shape
A third option: A T-shaped transition profile made of brass. The top edge is flat, and a leg is attached to the bottom edge to secure the profile. The profile can be installed later by simply pressing the lower leg into a joint filled with silicone. Of course, this type of profile is also available in other versions made of aluminum and stainless steel.

Option 4: The multi-profile – the top of the line!

Our multi-transition profile truly lives up to its name. As you can see at first glance, this is a sophisticated multi-functional system. This profile type consists of a two-component system. First, the base profile is connected to the floor, and later the top profile is screwed to the base profile. The plastic hinge, in addition to connecting the top and base profiles, allows for movement in height or inclination. All top profiles are made of aluminum. The preview image shows the profile with a bronze-anodized surface. However, you will find other anodized color variants in our range, such as silver, gold, titanium, or champagne. We also offer a special version that is foiled with a beech wood pattern.
