Threshold strip between laminate and porcelain tiles

Chichi_2

I have dark grey porcelain tiles in kitchen and travertine effect laminate tiles in neighbouring dining room (no doorway). I think even when laminate tiles are laid they'll be a few mm higher than porcelain tiles. What colour type of threshold strip/reducer should be used to bridge the gap. I have yet to find a colour like either of these floors. Silver??

ormus

black strips look ok in almost any situation.

On this subject (sort of) can anyone recommend an online resource for tile trim?

The Schluter range (http://www.schluter.co.uk/tile_trim.aspx) looks good, not least because it looks like they have corner/mitre pieces - rather than having to bodge an angled cut.

The other range I found was Genesis (http://www.genesis-aps.com/index.php).

Both of these seem to be trade-focused sites, with no price lists.

None of the online tile shops seem to stock much of a range, if any - most seem to have the basic white plastic strip and that's it.

I'm knocking together a quote request for a bathroom fiter, and I'd like to be able to specify exactly what I want so that the detailing is as I want it.

Anybody?

Hi, if you have two different colours to tie in with i would reccomend using trims in the same colour as your door accesessories or Kitchen accessories i.e silver, aluminium or brass etc. That way they will tie in with something in your colour scheme & not look out of place. Hope this helps!
