    Default Ideas welcome

    Hi all
    (happy friday)
    Been laying click flooring at the daughters - now reached the junction of slate tiles 7/16 or so thick.
    So how do I "finish" the click flooring against the slate?
    It's easy at the room edges - just cover with skirting - but this is right in the middle of the floor.
    Any ideas please?

    Get a peice of nice matching wood and rebate the back on each side so it sits with a thin lip over the boards and the slate?

    I would second that option, I nice matching piece of solid timber to bridge the gap.

    I have also seen a piece of metal, usually brass-looking or stainless steel, to bridge the gap.

    You could use something to match in with the skirting you are using, that would look good too.

    Hi all

    You can get an aluminium pce that sits under the floor ( same sort of thing as for tiles) except it has a wood look pce that clips into it to cover the gap. It comes in colours to match the laminate floors. Its about 40-50mm wide.

    It has a bit of movement to allow for slight variance in floor heights, I used it between tiles and the click floor - paid 10mtr

    You should be able to get it from the floor shop.

    G'day. Use 12mm thick Cork Expansion.
    All the installers of real timber floors use it against tiles.
    Hooroo.
