ABSTRACT:
A floor molding forming a transition at a corner between a floor and a wall disposed at a right angle to the floor. The floor and wall are both tiled with each tile having a bottom surface, side edges and a top surface. A wall bracket is secured between the wall and the wall tiles, including a leg disposed adjacent to the side edge of the wall tile facing the corner. A floor bracket is secured between the floor and the floor tiles at a distance from the wall bracket forming a gap therebetween. The floor bracket has an L-shaped member including a leg disposed adjacent to the side edge of the floor tile facing the corner. The L-shaped member also includes an arm connected to the leg disposed adjacent to the top surface of the floor tile. An elastic plastic bridge is coupled between the wall bracket leg and the floor bracket L-shaped member across the gap. The elastic plastic bridge permits relative movement between said wall bracket and said floor bracket while maintaining the transition between the wall and the floor.
