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).
A finishing accessory comprising a deformable finishing profile and at least one blocking part, said deformable finishing profile is suitable for making up a finishing transition between two surfaces, and comprises two rigid wings 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 to be connected, and a flexible hinge that extends lengthwise parallel to said longitudinal axis A, which is, at least in part, positioned between the two rigid wings, and which connects the two rigid wings to one another, each rigid win has, on a lower face of each rigid wing, a rigid longitudinal projection that extends lengthwise parallel to said longitudinal axis A, the flexible hinge and the two rigid longitudinal projections define a longitudinal groove between the two rigid longitudinal projections, the flexible hinge allowing a rotation of each rigid wing and respective rigid longitudinal projection relative to the other rigid wing and other respective rigid longitudinal projection in a plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, said at least one blocking part comprises an adjusting shim, which extends lengthwise, which is capable of being inserted into said longitudinal groove and which, once inserted into said longitudinal groove, acts as a stop preventing the two rigid longitudinal projections from being brought closer to one another so as to block an inward rotation of the two rigid wings in relation to one another in a plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and in a first direction of rotation of the of rotation of lower faces of the two rigid wings towards one another, with a predefined angular orientation of the two rigid wings relative to one another.
A use of a finishing accessory comprising a deformable finishing profile and at least one blocking part as a finishing transition between two surfaces, or between two floor coverings, or between a floor covering and a floor, or between two wall coverings, or between a wall covering and a wall on which the wall covering is fixed, or between two surfaces oriented transversely, or between two surfaces oriented perpendicularly, with respect to one another;
A method of installing a finishing accessory comprising a deformable finishing profile and at least one blocking part to form a finishing transition between two surfaces, during which the two rigid wings of the deformable finishing profile are rotationally blocked by means of the at least one blocking part and said at least one blocking part is fixed between the two surfaces to be connected with the two rigid wings in contact respectively with the two surfaces to be connected;
