    got a job on monday where the lounge is laminate but the kitchen will be altro
    the customer is in a wheelchair and i require a 3 meter transition between the too
    obviously an incizo is out of the question as i think it will not withstand the wheelchair constantly going over it
    the subfloor is concrete so dont think a stick down metal will work either
    is a lino edge screwed into concrete the only alternative? or anyone any thoughts or ideas

    many thanks lads

    What about a gradus cover strip, like the clip top rubber ones?

    stickatac stick on lino edge?

    Take the lino / vinyl just under the laminate (cut laminate underlay up to the vinyl)

    Then stick plate to the laminate as the plate and laminate will expand together. Those plates really do stick well.

    Go for quantum clip top mate. Cheaper then gradus an just as good IMO.
    Been using them alot the last few years. Not as much choice as gradus though.
    They do about 5 -6 profiles in about 8 colours.

    Have done this before using easy shims from Solent carpets there ramps from 0mm - 12mm and 1metre wide by 30cm deeps you cut them back to what ever height you need fix to subfloor little feather finish then lay flooring over bringing to coverings up to same height then if needed a self adhesive flat cover strip ideal for for wheelchairs or catering trolleys
