Laminate and tile - the two most popular finishing material, which are used universally and in combination. It is in the combination that some problem lies. Tiles are usually laid in places where there is high abrasion and high humidity, and laminate is a comfortable material for living rooms, beautiful and easy to maintain. But what if you need to dock these two coatings?

How to connect tiles to a "floating" floor
Not everyone understands the term "floating floor", so you need to clarify. This is the name of a topcoat that is not fixed to the base. Such floors include laminate, parquet or an engineering board that is connected by the groove-tenon method.
Since these materials are not fixed in a stationary way on the base, they do not warp, because when the temperature drops, the tree and its derivatives contract and expand.
Such a profile is selected in the color of the coating or a neutral tone is chosen that will be in harmony with both the laminate and the tiles.
Docking tiles and fixed floor
There is such an option for finishing the floors, when the board or parquet is glued to the base. Or, for example, was selected as the finish line quartz vinyl tile. There are peculiarities in the arrangement of glued floors, but now we are talking about how to join them with tiles. The glued floor is stationary so that the joint can be reduced to a minimum thin line. To arrange the joint, one of three options is used: a cork expansion joint, silicone sealant or a special thin profile.
But you can also use a special thin profile - neutral or matched to the color of the coating.
How to arrange the joint between the bathroom and the floor of the corridor
Even if you have not used tiles in the kitchen or in the hallway, 99% of users have them in the bathroom. And here the junction at the exit is complicated by the presence of a door.
It is logical to assume that the bathroom will always have high humidity, so the joint must be sealed. Using a silicone sealant is the surest way to cover the gap between different finishes. It can be matched to the color of tiles or laminate, or at least close to them.
Docking with a complex line
There is a need to connect tiles and laminates not just in a straight line, but with complex bends or a broken line. And the gap does not always turn out to be the same width, especially if you did such a docking yourself. In this case, a special grout will help you out. And the joint is made according to the same principle as the joining of tiles to each other. Only for this method it is extremely important that the materials did not have a height difference.
By the way, among the special materials for such a docking, cork sealant should be noted. It can be applied both as a grout, with a spatula, and through a tube with a narrow nose. In appearance, it is the same as a cork expansion joint, and in its properties - like a silicone sealant.
