Deformable finishing accessory suitable for forming a connection between two surfaces
A finishing accessory (1A) includes a deformable finishing profile (10) and at least one blocking part (P2A). The finishing profile (10) is suitable for making up a finishing transition between two surfaces (S1; S2), and includes two rigid wings (100; 101) that extend lengthwise parallel to a longitudinal axis (A), which are spaced from one another and which are intended to be in contact respectively with the two surfaces (S1; S2) to be connected, and a flexible hinge (102) that extends lengthwise parallel to said longitudinal axis (A), which is, at least in part, positioned between the two wings (100; 101), and which connects the two wings to one another while allowing a rotation of the two wings (100; 101) relative to one another in a plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (A). Said blocking part (P2A) includes an adjusting shim (20a), which extends lengthwise and which, once inserted into a longitudinal groove (103) of the finishing profile, is adapted to block the two wings (100; 101).
MOLDING ASSEMBLY AND FLOOR INSTALLATION
Provided herein is a molding assembly for bridging a gap between floor covering materials, or for finishing an edge of a floor covering material. The molding assembly comprising a molding and a track is configured with a hinge portion to allow tilting of the molding when attached to the track attachment component. Floor installations are also provided herein. The floor installations comprise floor covering materials adjoining respective sides of a gap, and a molding assembly to cover the gap and accommodate any difference in thickness between the respective adjoining floor covering materials.
WALL PANELING SYSTEM
The present invention provides a wall paneling system that is completely mechanical and does not require the use of adhesives in attaching panels to the walls. The system comprises wall panels having a core with a decorative surface attached to one side and profiled edges that connect to each other by push click, panel connector clips (PCCs) that further connect and secure the interconnecting panels to the walls; and corner moldings for use in paneling adjoining walls meeting at a corner via tongue and groove. The PCCs and corner moldings attach to the walls by mechanical fastening and provide an air space between the walls and the wall panels. Since the wall panels are not directly connected or adhered to the wall, the system allows the panels to be easily replaced by removing and inserting from the PCCs and corner moldings. By using specially adapted bottom seals, seals in the corner moldings and sealant between the panels, the paneling system can be made impermeable to water and is therefore especially useful in area wet areas such as bathrooms.
JOINT FOR FLOOR PANEL COVERING AND COVERING ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SAID JOINT
The A joint and covering assembly for panels covering floors and having a covering profile having at least one extension with a hidden face arranged facing the floor and an exposed face arranged visible; a base profile with a resting face to make contact with the floor and a supporting face arranged facing the hidden face; and coupling elements between the profiles, having two coupling portions according to different angles with respect to the resting face, and an attachable element coupled in the portions, the attachable element B) projecting from the hidden face. The coupled arrangement is established such that the exposed face has a different inclination with respect to the resting face according to the portion.
DEFORMABLE FINISHING ACCESSORY SUITABLE FOR FORMING A CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO SURFACES
A finishing accessory (1A) includes a deformable finishing profile (10) and at least one blocking part (P2A). The finishing profile (10) is suitable for making up a finishing transition between two surfaces (S1; S2), and includes two rigid wings (100; 101) that extend lengthwise parallel to a longitudinal axis (A), which are spaced from one another and which are intended to be in contact respectively with the two surfaces (S1; S2) to be connected, and a flexible hinge (102) that extends lengthwise parallel to said longitudinal axis (A), which is, at least in part, positioned between the two wings (100; 101), and which connects the two wings to one another while allowing a rotation of the two wings (100; 101) relative to one another in a plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (A). Said blocking part (P2A) includes an adjusting shim (20a), which extends lengthwise and which, once inserted into a longitudinal groove (103) of the finishing profile, is adapted to block the two wings (100; 101).
Adjustable molding assemblies and methods
Adjustable molding assemblies and methods for bridging a gap between building elements are provided. The molding assembly includes a molding that includes a cover portion with opposing ends that are configured to contact outer surfaces of adjacent building elements. At least one flexible attachment portion extends from a lower surface of the cover portion, the at least one attachment portion including one or more interlocking elements. A track includes one or more grooves for receiving the attachment portion. One or more complementary interlocking elements are associated with each groove for retaining the attachment portion.

UNIVERSAL TRANSITION MOLDING
A universal transition molding for bridging two floor surfaces can include: a substantially symmetrical extruded profile of unitary construction having: (i) a substantially planar central portion, (ii) a pair of downwardly depending substantially planar wings, (iii) a pair of hinge sections joining the wings to opposing edges of the central portion, and (iv) a pair of vertical legs depending from a bottom surface of the central portion. Methods of manufacturing and installing the universal transition molding are described.

DIMPLED TILE TRIM
A dimpled tile trim, comprising one or more anchoring legs, one or more support braces, a profile and/or one or more deformed portions, and one or more dimples. The dimples allow the tile installation gaps between the profile and the anchoring legs to be narrowed in an even and consistent manner. Force may be applied to the deformed portions, such that they bend at the dimple, which narrows the tile installation gap. In this manner, the dimpled tile trim can be bent or adjusted to accommodate a range of tile sizes and thicknesses.
