Looking for an aluminum profile to cover the gap between the stairs and a newly laid tile floor. I've found a variant at Bauhaus where the "long" side of the L-shaped profile is 45mm. This barely covers the gap, but it doesn't look nice against the surrounding moldings and edges. Does anyone know where to find profiles with a longer side of about 70mm?
This is the first post I write, hope it goes into roughly the right category.

Have no tips about the actual profile. Just wanted to share the problem I had with a similar profile. The previous owners here had covered the entire staircase with ash parquet. On the edge of each step, they had installed an aluminum profile. This was screwed in. Most of the screws were not perfectly countersunk, some were not in at all, having missed having material to screw into.
The result was that when walking on the stairs, socks got caught on the screws, and it happened several times that one almost fell down the stairs, making you drop what you were holding and try to grab onto something to avoid hitting your head.
The family's sock account decreased by 70% when we redid the stairs so the aluminum profiles disappeared. As I said, it can certainly be good, but it requires great precision with the attachments, or perhaps gluing instead of screws.

Had the same problem before we started renovatinghempularen said:
Regarding the ALU-profile, I have now given up looking, might need to be custom ordered.
Instead, I shaped a piece of wood that I screwed on and painted. The seam that leads to the tiled floor, I cover with a regular flat profile instead.
With the new piece underneath, there's a lot of wood to screw into
