Transition From 1 2 Inch Lower Tile To Hardwood

Methods to correct can include gradual ramping of the lower side before the floor is installed.

Transition from 1 2 inch lower tile to hardwood.

I need to transition from a tile kitchen to a hardwood dining room. The setting for standard 2 inch wood floor is 1 7 8 inch. Run the flooring through the table saw with the finish side down to remove the tongue. I will have two choices either do as you have done or make the transition by sloping the tile floor along about 8 to 9 of run which is about 3 16 per foot slope.

A single transition strip that acts as a ramp from the lower hardwood floor to the higher tile floor. Leave inch to inch of space centered underneath the door for the bottom of the transition strip. Set the rip fence to a measurement of 1 1 2 inches. Stone or tile can stand up to moisture and mud tracked in from outside but hardwood is still the most popular flooring material for the rest of the house.

I was thinking of using a wood threshold piece with the portion that normally rests on top of the wood actually sitting on and overlapping the tile. The tile floor is close to 1 2 higher so a simple t doesn t work. The simplest way to link floor tile and hardwood of different heights is with a transition strip. This strip can either meet the tile floor directly or can have a lip over style.

This entryway has two logical transition points at the openings to the hallways. I am faced with the same dilemma needing to transition from a hardwood floor up about 1 1 2 to a hydronic radiant heat floor with a tile surface. Entryways are a common area where we find ourselves wanting to change flooring. That said now that i am trying to move on to phase 2 it became apparent that there is a 1 height difference between the two bathrooms.
