    Finishing for a stair or step and a kit for forming such a finish.
    This invention relates to a finish for a stair or step, more particularly to a covering for an existing stair or step. Such a finish or covering can for instance be used in the renovation of an existing staircase. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a kit for forming such a finish.
    In particular, the invention relates to a finish for a staircase or a step that can be realized starting from floor panels. This primarily concerns floor panels that can be installed floating, such as laminate panels, ready-to-lay parquet, veneer parquet, or solid parquet. Such floor panels are usually provided at their edges with mechanical coupling means that allow two or more of such floor panels to be locked together, without necessarily having to make use of glue. However, they can also be provided with traditional tongue-in-groove couplings which are then preferably glued together.
    Decorative moldings that allow to form a finish for a staircase or a step with such floor panels are known, for example, from EP 1 681 402 and DE 43 25 998. In this case, a decorative strip is used which at least forms the stair nose and cooperates with a step on the step fitted floor panel. In these cases it is always a so-called "flush" finish, whereby the step is free of height differences between the respective decorative sides of the decorative strip and the floor panel. The decorative frame is always adjusted, for example in thickness, to the floor panel with which you have to cooperate and does not allow any further variation in the finish.
    The patent documents US 2005 / 229,517, WO 2006/093866, WO 2007/139595 and WO 2007/142841 describe decorative moldings for the finishing of a staircase, wherein these decorative moldings in themselves have a body comprising several parts provided with a decorative side. A solution of a staircase, in which the decorative sides of the decorative strip and the floor panel lie in the same plane, a so-called "flush" finish, is impossible with the solution from these patent documents. Moreover, the decorative trims known here do not allow variation in the finish of the step.
    The present invention contemplates, in the first place, an alternative finish for a staircase or a step wherein use is made of a decorative frame and a floor panel. According to various preferred embodiments, the invention offers a solution for one or more of the disadvantages with the prior art finishes. To this end, according to a first independent aspect, the invention relates to a finish for a staircase or step, wherein this finish comprises at least one decorative strip and a floor panel, said decorative strip having a body comprising several parts provided with a decorative side, and wherein the aforementioned floor panel also has a decorative side and is provided with a profiled edge area in the form of a coupling means of the type that allows several of such floor panels to be connected to each other at their edges, wherein the decorative side of the decorative strip and the decorative side of the floor panel connect to each other , characterized in that at least one of the aforementioned parts of the body of the decorative strip comprises a surface which extends transversely to the decorative side of the floor panel at the location of the connection of the respective decorative sides of the decorative strip and the floor panel, said surface has a profiling that can accommodate mi at least a portion of the aforementioned coupling means.
    Due to the presence of several parts provided with a decorative side, and the profiling of the transverse surface that accommodates at least a part of the coupling means of the floor panel, an elegant finish is obtained which can be realized in various ways. The elegant finish consists of the connection of the respective decorative sides. By "connection" of the respective decorative sides is meant that the possible distance between the respective edges of these decorative sides is less than 1 millimeter. The connection is preferably so narrow that there is no visible gap for the user between the respective edges of the decorative sides.
    Preferably, both the edge of the decorative side of the floor panel and the edge of the decorative side of the decorative frame are visible in the final finished step or staircase, better yet they contact each other.
    According to a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned decorative sides connect without overlapping.
    According to yet another preferred embodiment, whether or not it makes use of the above preferred embodiment, the aforementioned decorative sides are situated in the same plane at the said connection.
    According to the above preferred embodiments, a contact surface is preferably formed between the floor panel and the decorative strip at the area of the profiled edge area or the aforementioned surface which extends transversely to the decorative side of the floor panel.
    Preferably, the aforementioned coupling means is designed essentially as a tooth and the profiled surface of the decorative strip accommodates the part of the said tooth that extends beyond the edge of the decorative side of the floor panel. It is of course not inconceivable that the aforementioned coupling means would be designed essentially as a groove flanked by an upper lip and a lower lip, the profiled surface of the decorative strip then accommodating a portion of the upper and / or lower lip extending to beyond the edge of the decorative side of the floor panel.
    Preferably, said decorative strip and said floor panel are positioned with their longitudinal direction parallel and with their width direction transverse to each other, wherein the decorative strip is optionally either applied to a stair step or covers or forms the stair nose. According to this choice, the floor panel whose coupling means is accommodated by means of the transverse surface of the decorative strip can either be positioned vertically, or at least partially form the rising edge of the coated step, or be positioned horizontally, or at least still be positioned at least partially form the surface of the step. According to the same choice, said connection between the respective decorative sides of decorative strip and floor panel is then formed either on said rising edge or on the surface of said step.
    According to a special embodiment, the above-mentioned parts of the decorative strip are connected to each other at least by means of a layer-shaped covering, wherein this layer-shaped covering forms the above-mentioned decorative side of the relevant parts. For the finishing of the invention, preferably a decorative frame of the type known per se from EP 1 836 363 is used, but wherein the transverse surface in question is profiled in such a way that it can take place, as mentioned above, provide the coupling element of the floor panel. The decorative frame known per se from EP 1 836 363 makes it possible to form different transition profiles for floor coverings, such as expansion profiles, end profiles, transition profiles and skirting boards, by mutually removing or combining two or more of the aforementioned parts. By profiling the transverse surface of one or more of the aforementioned components, the present invention also offers the possibility of using such a decorative strip as a versatile stair profile. It is clear that the decorative strip used according to the present invention in a finish for a stair or step also forms the subject of the invention per se, whether or not in combination with the mounting rail possibly to be used with it.
    Preferably, the finish of the invention further comprises a mounting rail for the aforementioned decorative frame, said mounting rail cooperating with at least one of the aforementioned parts of the decorative frame. Preferably, said rail is of substantially L-shaped design, with the longer leg of this L-shape preferably being arranged under the floor panel.
    The mounting rail is preferably dimensioned such that a "flush" finish can be obtained on the surface of the step. It is possible that, for this purpose, a differently dimensioned mounting rail is offered depending on the thickness of the floor panel. On the other hand, it is also possible for the mounting rail to be adaptable, for example in that this rail has removable or combinable sections that allow a "flush" finish with floor panels of a different thickness when removing or not removing or combining these sections.
    For the same purpose as in the first aspect, according to an independent second aspect, the present invention relates to a finish for a staircase or step, said finish comprising at least one decorative frame and a floor panel, said decorative frame having a body provided with a decorative side and wherein said floor panel also has a decorative side and is provided with a profiled edge area in the form of a coupling means of the type that allows several of such floor panels to be connected to each other at their edges, characterized in that said finish also comprises an adaptation profile , wherein this adaptation profile cooperates with the body of said decorative strip and the adaptive profile comprises a surface which extends transversely to the decorative side of the floor panel at said coupling element of the floor panel, said surface exhibiting a profiling accommodating at least one part of said coupling means. The use of an adaptation profile allows for a more qualitative direct or indirect collaboration between the decorative frame and the floor panel. Moreover, the adaptation profile makes it possible to adapt the same decorative frame with different adaptation profiles, such that this decorative frame can cooperate with differently shaped and / or positioned coupling means. The use of an adjustment profile increases the universal application of the decorative frame. It is clear that the adaptation profile can preferably be selected from a series of two or more different adaptation profiles and / or that the adaptation profile can be modified by the user, such that it can be used at least in two different configurations.
    Preferably, the aforementioned adjustment profile exhibits a vertically active contact surface with the aforementioned coupling means. Such a vertically active contact surface preferably limits the extent to which the floor panel can move away in a direction transverse to the decorative side of the stairs or step. The adaptation profile thus cooperates with the pressing of any curved panels and allows a so-called “flush” finish to be obtained even with non-flat panels.
    Preferably, said decorative frame has a body which in itself comprises several parts, for example a body as described with reference to the first aspect.
    The invention of the second aspect is preferably further characterized in that the decorative side of the decorative strip and the decorative side of the floor panel connect to each other, preferably without overlapping. Preferably, both decorative sides extend globally in the same horizontal plane at the location of the connection. According to the presently preferred embodiment, the adjustment profile is not or hardly visible at the surface of the finish, but this adjustment profile extends only below the surface of the finish. However, it is not excluded that such an adaptation profile would exhibit a portion present on the surface of the finish. Such a portion may, for example, form an anti-slip strip.
    The adaptation profile preferably has a U-shaped cross-section, which comprises at least one groove flanked by an upper lip and lower lip, and the aforementioned coupling means is in the form of a tooth, the tooth being arranged at least partially in said groove.
    Preferably, the aforementioned adaptation profile is provided at least partially in an undercut provided in the aforementioned decorative frame.
    Preferably, said decorative strip and said floor panel are positioned with their longitudinal direction parallel and with their width direction transverse to each other, wherein the decorative strip is optionally either applied to a stair step or covers or forms the stair nose.
    According to the second aspect, the finish preferably further comprises a mounting rail for the aforementioned decorative strip, said mounting rail cooperating at least with the decorative strip, preferably in that the decorative strip is directly attached to this rail. Preferably, the combination of a suitable adaptation profile and a suitable fixing rail allows for a "flush" finish with the same decorative strip on the basis of different types of floor panels, wherein these different types of floor panels differ from each other at least by their thickness and / or the shape and / or geometry of their coupling means.
    Preferably, the aforementioned mounting rail is substantially L-shaped, the longer leg of this L-shape being arranged below the floor panel, and the shorter leg, preferably, being provided with a mounting portion for mounting the aforementioned decorative strip.
    It is clear that the finishing of the second aspect, furthermore, can also exhibit the characteristics of the finishing ring of the first aspect, wherein the adjustment profile then, preferably, forms part of the decorative frame.
    The invention furthermore relates to a kit comprising a decorative strip and a mounting rail for finishing a staircase or step, the decorative strip allowing to obtain a finishing of a staircase or step with the characteristics of the invention or the preferred embodiments thereof. The mounting rail is preferably L-shaped and better still has its optional features mentioned above or further mentioned.
    In general, according to a third independent aspect, the invention further relates to a kit for forming a finish according to one of the aforementioned aspects, characterized in that said kit meets at least one of the following properties: - the kit comprises a decorative strip that forms at least the stair nose and a mounting rail; - the kit comprises a mounting rail and an adaptation profile; - the kit includes a decorative strip that forms at least the stair nose and a mounting rail.
    The body of the decorative frame preferably comprises a flange-like part with a fixing part located below it, which cooperates with the said fixing rail. It is preferably a component that is substantially T-shaped in cross-section. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the body further comprises one or more nose portions which are substantially below the aforementioned flange-shaped part. These nose portions are preferably provided with a decorative side that connects to the decorative side of the flange-shaped part and even better forms one whole with it. Preferably, said connection with the decorative side of the floor panel is obtained between the decorative side of one of the aforementioned nose portions. In such a case, it is preferably a surface of the relevant nose portion that has the aforementioned profile. The surface showing the profiling is preferably a functional surface that is free of decorative elements, or in other words does not form part of the decorative side of the relevant component and / or the decorative frame.
    The specific arrangement of a decorative frame with a flange-shaped part and one or more nose sections which are substantially below it offers a multitude of possibilities for using such decorative frame in general, and for finishing a staircase or step in particular.
    The various component parts of the kit of the third aspect are preferably packaged together, preferably at least in that they are in the same box or foil. Preferably, the length of the component parts of the kit corresponds.
    With regard to the adaptation profile and the fixing rail, it is further noted that they do not necessarily have to be designed as long profiles, namely not necessarily with a length substantially corresponding to the decorative strip. This is because they can also be in the form of several separate adaptation sections and / or fixing strips, of which several must then be used to finish one step.
    According to all aspects of the invention, the finishing preferably also comprises glued or adhesive connections, namely between the fixing rail and the stair or step to be finished, between the floor panel and the fixing rail, between the decorative strip and the floor panel and / or the adaptation profile. The mounting rail can also be attached to the stairs or step by means of a screw connection.
    With the insight to better demonstrate the features of the invention, a few preferred embodiments are described below as an example without any limiting character, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional finish for a staircase with the features of the invention; Figure 2 represents the decorative frame used in Figure 1 in perspective; figures 3 to 5 represent finishes for a staircase using the profile of figure 2 in a view similar to that of figure 1; figure 6 represents another possibility of use of the decorative frame from figure 2; Figure 7 shows a finish with the features of the invention; Figure 8 shows on a larger scale a view of the area indicated by F8 in Figure 7; and Figure 9 shows a variant of a finish with the features of the second aspect of the invention in a similar view.
    Figure 1 shows a finish 1 for a staircase 2 which comprises at least one decorative strip 3 and a floor panel 4. The floor panel has profiled edge areas 5 on two opposite sides that contain coupling means 6. The coupling means 6 in this case are of a type known per se, for example from WO 97/47834. In the example, this concerns mechanical coupling means which allow several of such floor panels 4 to be connected to each other at their respective edges, and in which, in the connected state, a locking is obtained of the respective edges both in a horizontal direction H1 perpendicular to this edge and in the plane of the connected floor panels 4 as in a vertical direction V1 perpendicular to said plane. To this end, the coupling means 6 of the floor panel from the example are essentially designed as a tongue and groove coupling, which effects the locking in the vertical direction V1, wherein said tongue 7 and groove 8 are provided with locking means or locking parts 9 which lock the locking in horizontal direction. direction H1.
    Said decorative frame 3 has a body with several parts 10-11-12. In this case, three parts 10-11-12 are shown: a flange-like part 10 which is provided on the underside with a fastening part 13 and substantially has a T-shaped cross-section, and two nose parts 11-12 which are located below the flange-like part 10 are located.
    Figure 2 shows that these parts 10-11-12 each have a decorative side 14, wherein the decorative side 14 of the aforementioned nose portions 11-12 in each case connect to the decorative side 14 of the flange-shaped part 10. In this case, the decorative sides 14 of the nose portions 11-12 and the decorative side of 14 the flange-like part 10 one whole. Namely, in this case the decorative side 14 is formed as a layer-shaped covering 15, for example a laminate, foil or veneer, which extends uninterruptedly over the transition 16 between the respective parts 10-11-12. This layer-shaped covering 15 thus forms the connection between the parts 10-11-12.
    According to the invention, the parts 10-11-12 can of course also have other interconnections, whether or not in combination with a connection by means of a layer-shaped covering 15 which extends over the transition 16 between the parts 10-11-12. These other interconnections can for instance be chosen from a connection by means of a weakened material portion, an adhesive connection, a tongue-in-groove connection or the like. The parts 10-11-12 can also be connected to each other indirectly, for example via an underlying rail. The connections between the individual parts 10-11-12 are always breakable, but not necessarily repairable.
    The decorative sides 14 of the nose portions 11-12 have a mutually different slope A-B. This feature allows, upon removal of one of the nose portions 11-12, optionally, to obtain the typical shape of either an end profile for a floor covering or a transition profile for a floor covering. For example, an end profile can be used to finish a floor covering against a wall, instead of a finish with a skirting board or as a finish against a skirting board. A transition profile can be applied to the edge of a floor covering, where a transition to another type of floor covering must be finished, for example in a doorway. When both nose portions 11-12 are removed and, in this case, only the flange-like member 10 or the flange-like portion is retained, this can be used for finishing an expansion joint in the surface of a floor covering. For examples of transition profiles, end profiles and expansion or expansion profiles, reference is made to the aforementioned EP 1 836 363.
    At least one of the aforementioned nose portions 11, as here, preferably has a slope A of about 90 ° with the surface or the decorative side 14 of the flange-shaped portion 10. Preferably, this relates to the nose portion 11 which has the profiling 17 of the invention. In this way a very elegant finish can be obtained. Preferably, the other nose portion 12 then has a slope B of less than 90 ° with the decorative side 14 of the flange-shaped portion 10, for example, a slope B of 65 ° or less, a slope B of about 50 ° being a good value.
    The present invention relates to a further use of such decorative frame 3, namely the use thereof as decorative frame 3 for finishing a staircase 2 or step. As shown in Fig. 1, according to the invention, the decorative side 14 of the decorative strip 3, in this case the decorative side 14 of one of the nose portions 11, and the decorative side 18 of the floor panel 4 connect to each other, in this case without overlap. For this purpose the nose section 11 in question has a surface 19 which, at the location of the connection 20, extends transversely with respect to the decorative side 18 of the floor panel 4, said surface 19 being provided with a profiling 17 which accommodates a part of a coupling means 6 of the aforementioned floor panel 4. In this case, the profiling 17 accommodates the coupling means 6, which is mainly in the form of a tooth 7, more particularly on the part of this tooth 7 which extends beyond the edge of the decorative side 18 of the floor panel 4 extends. In the example shown, a so-called "flush" finish is obtained. The decorative sides 14 of the decorative strip 3 and the floor panel 4 extend at the aforementioned connection in the same plane, namely in the plane 21 of the finished step.
    It is clear that the decorative strip 3 used here is essentially in the form of the finishing profile disclosed in EP 1 836 363, but wherein one of the nose portions 11 has a profiling 17 which, as mentioned above, accommodates a coupling means 6 of an associated means 6 floor panel 4.
    As is clearly shown, the decorative strip 3 and the floor panel 4 are positioned with their width direction transverse to each other, the decorative strip 3 forming the stair nose 22. The floor panel 4 forms at least a part of the surface 21 of the finished step.
    A fixing rail 23 is fastened to the step for the attachment of the aforementioned decorative strip 3. This can for example be realized on the basis of an adhesive and / or screw connection. Such a connection is not shown here. In this case, the mounting rail 23 is preferably fixed on the horizontal surface of the step. The mounting rail 23 cooperates with the aforementioned mounting portion 13 of the body of the decorative strip 3, which in this case forms part of the aforementioned flange-shaped portion 10. The mounting rail 23 is substantially L-shaped, the longer leg 24 of this L shape is arranged under floor panel 4.
    Figure 1 also shows that the rising flanks 25 of the steps can be covered with floor panels, such that a completely renovated staircase surface is obtained.
    Figure 2 shows various options for the aforementioned profiling 17. A profiled line 17 is shown in the form of a groove in the relevant surface 19, this groove being defined on the basis of two flanks, which are not necessarily, as here, need to be the same length. A profiling 17 in the form of a chamfer is shown in broken line.
    Figure 3 shows a finish of another step or step 2. This is a step that in itself already had a stair nose 22. Dotted lines 26 show two variants, whereby the rising edges 25 of the staircase 2 can optionally be brought forward, so that a possible view of the underside of the stair nose 22 is completely avoided. Hereby the floor panel 4 can either be arranged vertically or be tilted.
    Figure 4 shows a variant of the finish of Figure 1, in which the same decorative frame 3 is used as in the previous figures, but in which one of the nose portions 12 has been removed, namely the nose portion 12 with the smallest slope B. the finish carried out similar to that of figure 1. In this way a less pronounced stair nose 22 is obtained.
    It is clear that both in figures 3 and 4 a so-called "flush" finish is obtained.
    Figure 5 shows another embodiment in which, on the basis of the same decorative frame 3, a finish is obtained on the step that is not "flush", whereby, in other words, the decorative side 14 of the decorative frame comes from the surface 21 of the finished step . The decorative strip 3 here covers a part of the surface of the step, while the floor panel 4 with which the decorative strip 3 cooperates forms a rising flank 25 of this step. One of the nose portions 12 is hereby also removed. It again relates to the nose portion 12 with the smallest slope B, which is removed.
    Figures 1 and 3 to 5 furthermore show that a profile 27 can optionally be used to finish the inner corners of the stairs or steps from the examples, but this is not necessary. These figures furthermore show that a subfloor 28 can be arranged under one or more floor panels of the stair covering. Preferably at least one subfloor 28 is used under the floor panels covering the horizontal surface of the relevant step. However, it is not excluded that, as shown in Figure 5, such an underlay 28 is also or only used under the floor panels covering the rising flanks 25 of the step.
    The floor panels 4 shown in the figures each have the same thickness. As stated, the mounting rail 23 can be adjusted to enable a finish with floor panels 4 of a different thickness. Optionally, an adjustable mounting rail can be provided for this purpose. According to a preferred embodiment, it is possible to separate the legs from the L-shaped fixing rail 23, such that this rail 23, or at least a remaining part thereof, can also be used for finishing floor coverings on a horizontal surface, for example for attaching transition profiles, expansion profiles, end profiles and / or skirting boards. For such separation, a weakened material portion may be provided at the corner point of the L-shaped rail 23, or on the leg cooperating with the attachment portion. According to yet another preferred embodiment, it is possible to arrange the legs of the L-shaped mounting rail parallel to each other and below each other without being separated, for example because a hinge part is provided in the corner point of the L-shaped rail 23. Also in this way the rail 23 can be usefully employed for the fixing of finishing profiles for floor coverings.
    In connection with the mounting rail 23, it is further noted that it can be provided with positioning means 23A which allow the floor panel 4 and the decorative strip 3 to be brought into a mutual position in which a "flush" finish is obtained. It is shown in the figures that the part 11 rests on the tooth 7. Preferably, however, some play is provided in all directions between the profiled surface and the coupling means in question.
    As an illustration of the invention, figure 6 shows that the decorative strip 3 of figure 2, after removal of the nose part 12 with the smallest slope B, can be used for finishing a floor covering 29 against a wall. Similarly, upon removal of both nose portions 11-12, a finish can be obtained as an expansion profile, and upon removal of only the nose portion 11 with the largest slope A, a finish can be obtained as a transition profile. The fastening rail 31 used here can for instance relate to a remaining part of the fastening rail 23 from previous figures which is obtained by separating one of the legs 24 from the L-shaped rail.
    Figure 7 shows a finish 1 for a staircase 2 with the characteristics of the first and second aspect of the invention mentioned in the introduction. To this end, the finish 1 comprises, in addition to a floor panel 4 and a decorative strip 3, also at least one adaptation profile 32 which cooperates with the body of said decorative strip 3. The adaptation profile 32 comprises a surface 33 which transversely extends at the location of said coupling means 6 of the floor panel 4 extends relative to the decorative side 18 of the floor panel 4. The surface 33 in question has a profiling which accommodates at least a part of the aforementioned coupling means 6, in this case the tooth 7. This is an adaptation profile 32 which is arranged in an undercut 34, in this case with the shape of a groove, provided in the body of the decorative strip 3. In the example a multi-part decorative strip 3 is shown, wherein the undercut is made in at least one of the parts 11 of this body. The fitting profile 32 can be attached by means of glue, or can also be retained in the groove purely by friction or other mechanical adhesion.
    The adaptation profile 32 has a U-shaped cross-section, which comprises at least one groove flanked by a lower lip 35 and an upper lip 36. The aforementioned coupling means 6 in the form of a tooth 7 is arranged at least partially in the aforementioned groove.
    Figure 8 clearly shows that the adaptation profile 32, in this case, is chosen such that a vertically active contact surface 37 between the adaptation profile 32 and the coupling means 6, more particularly the tooth 7, of the floor panel 4 is created. This contact surface 37 is located on the upper side of the tooth 7 and on the lower side of the upper lip 36 of the adaptation profile 32 and prevents movement of the floor panel 4 in the vertical direction V1 away from the surface of the stairs 2. In this way even on the basis of curved floor panels 4 a flat finish, without height differences, namely with 20 being obtained between the respective decorative sides 14-18 of decorative frame 3 and floor panel 4 or floor panels. Namely, the vertically active contact surface 37 exerts a downward pressure on the coupling means 6 in such a case, such that the panels 4 remain flat in cooperation with the decorative strip 3.
    Referring to Figures 7 and 8, it is noted that, in the example, the lower lip 35 of the adaptation profile 32 and the portion connecting lower lip 35 and upper lip 36 have no other function than simplifying the attachment of the adjustment profile 32 in the undercut 34. An equivalent embodiment could thus be obtained by providing an adjustment strip at the location of the upper lip 36 shown in Figure 8.
    It is clear from figures 7 and 8 that the adaptation profile 32 adjusts the decorative strip 3 for cooperating with the floor panel 4 shown there, more particularly with the specific position and shape of the coupling means 6 concerned, in this case of the tooth 7. For cooperating of the decorative strip 3 with floor panels 4 of the same thickness, but with coupling means 6 positioned elsewhere, the adaptation profile 32 can be exchanged for an adaptation profile 32 with a suitable, preferably U-shaped cross-section, for forming a vertically active contact surface 37 on the coupling means 6 positioned elsewhere. For cooperating the decorative strip 3 with floor panels 4 of a different thickness, preferably at least the fixing rail 23 is exchanged, such that a so-called "flush" finish 1 can also be obtained with thicker or thinner floor panels 4 the same decorative frame 3.
    Figure 9 shows another example of a finish 1 with the features of the second aspect. The adaptation profile 32 is hereby attached again in an undercut 34 of the decorative strip 3, in the form of a groove. The adaptation profile 32 has a U-shaped cross-section and a vertically active contact surface 37 between the underside of the upper lip 36 and the upper side of the coupling means 6. The embodiment of Figure 9 shows two important differences with the embodiment of Figures 7 and 8. A The first difference consists in that the adaptation profile 32 extends with the part 38 into the surface of the finished step 2, where it forms an anti-slip strip and / or a decorative strip. A second difference consists in that the decorative side 14 of the decorative strip 3 extends in horizontal direction H1 up to a vertical surface V2 which is at a distance D from the distal end of the coupling means 6 or the tooth 7, such that this surface V2 the coupling means 6 does not intersect. It is clear that the aforementioned differences can each be present separately. The embodiment of Fig. 9 further has the advantage that the aforementioned undercut 34 can be made less drastic than is the case when the actual decorative strip 3 at least partially covers the coupling means 6. This ensures that the decorative strip 3 also retains sufficient rigidity in another application, such as for example in the application shown in Figure 6.
    It is clear that although in the examples the decorative strip 3 and / or the adaptation profile 32 always cooperates with a coupling means 6 in the form of a tooth 7, similar finishes 1 can be obtained when the decorative strip 3 and / or the adaptation profile 32 cooperate with a coupling means 6 in the form of a groove 8.
    It is further noted that the decorative strip of the invention preferably comprises a body based on wood-based material, such as for example based on plywood or MDF, HDF (Medium Density Fiberboard or High Density Fiberboard). In case the decorative frame cooperates with laminate floor panels, it preferably has a decorative side formed by a layer-shaped covering, preferably on the basis of a foil or laminate. If the decorative frame cooperates with floor panels with a wooden top layer or with solid parquet, it preferably has a decorative side formed by a layer-shaped covering, preferably based on veneer. Preferably, one always works with a decorative side of the decorative frame that matches the decorative side of the floor panel.
    It is further noted that the adaptation profiles referred to, for example in the second aspect of the invention, are preferably manufactured as extrusion profiles and / or preferably consist essentially of a material selected from the list of aluminum, plastic and wood extrusion material. For the mounting rail, extrusion profiles and / or similar materials are also preferably used. However, it is not necessary that the adaptation profile and the mounting rail of the same finish consist of the same material. The materials for this can be freely chosen and combined from the aforementioned options.
    The present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described above, but such finishes, decorative trims and mounting rails can be realized according to different variants without departing from the scope of the present invention.
