slip-proof transition profile

The profile is made of aluminum, on which wood-grain is printed by heattransfer printing process, wear resistant and stable. The importantpoint is that there is a rubber installed in the profile. The rubbercan help to anti-slip.Transition profile is a kind of coverprofile. It is widely using at the place where the two sections of flooring hasdifferent height. Hard floors, especially laminate floorswill expand and contract under influence of heat, cold and moisture. Thisproblem is solved by leaving a small distance between the floor section and thesurrounding walls in cases where the floor surfaces are relatively small. Suchdistances for allowing the floor to expand will have to be arranged on largerfloor surfaces. In cases where the distance between floor and wall is to smallor non existent the expansion may cause bulges in the floor or even causedamage to the walls and pipes to radiators. Bulges may also occur if thefriction between the floor and the subfloor is to high. Especially pronouncedis long corridors where the floor may have to be divided into sections by a gapof one or a few centimetres on every ten metres or so. This gap will be theexpansion zone of the floor sections. The gap ought to be covered in some wayas it otherwise will collect dirt and is unsightly. This has so far been solved by nailing orscrewing a cover profile in the subfloor so that the gap is covered.
