Tile to Laminate Transition Strip Anodised Aluminium Z Profile Trim

Z Profile Laminate to Tile Trim for Mixed Floor Heights

A tile to laminate transition strip joins two very different floors cleanly, even when they sit at slightly different heights. The anodised aluminium trim here has a Z profile with a perforated base that beds beneath the tile or terracotta edge, while the other side supports laminate and similar flooring. At Safety Products it is a popular choice for hallways, kitchens and porches.

Because the base sits in the tile adhesive, the trim is held firmly and the tile edge is protected from chipping. The raised side covers the laminate edge and its expansion gap, so both floors finish neatly with no sharp lip. It is best fitted during tiling, which makes it a good fit for renovation projects and new kitchens. If the tiles are already down, our push in laminate to tile door strip fits over finished floors instead. Measure the height difference between the tile surface and the laminate before ordering to check the profile suits your floors.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should the trim be fitted?

Fit it during tiling work, bedding the perforated base firmly into the tile adhesive so it is held firmly in place once the tiles set.

Can it handle different floor heights?

Yes. The Z profile is designed to bridge small height differences between tiles and laminate at doorways and openings.

Can I fit it after tiling?

It is designed to go in during tiling. For finished floors, a push in laminate to tile strip is the easier and neater option.
