Preventing damage and stumbling risks at covering transitions

The transitions of tiles to other covering materials are subject to heavy mechanical strain. As a consequence, they often incur damage and require special protection.

Since the screed in most cases is applied in a uniform thickness regardless of the coverings to be applied later, height differences are most pronounced in areas where coverings with different thicknesses adjoin. In particular, this is the case when tiles are installed over existing coverings during renovation. 

This can create risky stumbling hazards! 

Such transitions not only represent potential accident hazards, but also do not comply with the construction principles to accommodate seniors and the disabled.
