How to Join Tiles with Laminate so the Seams Are Invisible: A Clever Trick

12.03.2023 20:11

Different floor coverings, such as laminate and tiles, are often used in the same room to divide it into functional zones.

Thus, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , this technique is used to separate the kitchen and living room in a studio apartment or to separate the hallway.

To ensure that the floor looks complete and has no gaps or seams, the main thing in this matter is to tightly join the two types of flooring.

To fill a joint without a threshold, try using tile grout or a paste designed for laminate repair.

Here you have two options - choose a product that matches the tone of the materials used or, conversely, use a contrasting grout or paste.

Important: the seam will have to be processed twice. The first time - at the time of work, and the second - after its completion.

First, you need to fill the joint with silicone sealant by two-thirds, and when it has completely hardened, you should apply grout or paste.

To increase the service life of your joint, use a common construction life hack and cover the seam with clear varnish after drying.
