What is an adjustment profile?
Adjustment profiles are floor profiles used to compensate for height differences in flooring work with two different floors.
Adjustment profiles, also called height compensation profiles, are laid as rails over the floor coverings and make unsightly joints disappear. They are an elegant transition from floor to floor and therefore the perfect flooring profile for height levelling.

However, adjustment profiles are not only used for technical reasons. They are also often used as design elements, like transition profiles or end profiles, to give the room a uniform and harmonious overall appearance. This is achieved, among other things, by the different colour variants in silver, brass or stainless steel. The right colour is thus available for every design.
An adjustment profile can also be used to set accents by making the profile stand out visually from the flooring. This applies in particular to the combination of different floor coverings. For example, at the transition from parquet to laminate flooring or from tiles to vinyl flooring. An adjustment profile for vinyl, laminate or parquet floors supports the demarcation of different areas, such as the beginning of the open-plan kitchen.
