Claim:
A frontal termination system comprising: a terminus profile; a floating-laid floor covering having a front, a bottom face, a front face, and a top face opposite the bottom face, the bottom face being for resting on a subfloor, the front face extending from the bottom face, the front face abutting the terminus profile up to the top face as the floating-laid floor covering is jointed with the terminus profile to terminate the front of the floating-laid floor covering, and the floating-laid floor covering being movable along the subfloor when the floating-laid floor covering is set on the subfloor; and a fastener fitting for the terminus profile, the fastener fitting being able to rest on the subfloor, being connected to the floating-laid floor covering in a shear-resistant manner so that the fastener fitting moves with the floating-laid floor covering when the floating-laid floor covering is on the subfloor and moves along the subfloor, and having a rest for the terminus profile; wherein the fastener fitting has oblong holes running transversely to the front face of the floor covering for receiving fastener screws able to engage in the subfloor; and wherein the terminus profile adjoins the front face of the floating-laid floor covering in an abutting manner so that no formfitting connection is provided between the floating-laid floor covering and the terminus profile.
