Threshold higher than flooring.
Ceramic tile often creates a floor level that s higher than neighboring floors such as those made of vinyl thin hardwood or carpet.
A half saddle transition strip is designed for flooring where one level is higher than the adjacent level.
Thresholds between two uneven wood floors are nothing more than tapered hardwood.
The hardwood strip is unfinished and can be stained to match the color of the laminate flooring.
Ceramic tile floors tend to be higher than laminate floors because tile is installed over cement board while laminate usually lies over a thin foam underlayment.
This type of threshold is screwed down through the carpet and angled so that it can provide a smooth transition from one height to the next.
In this video we show you how to transition between different floor heights from tile floor to wood floor installations.
If you do have matching levels you can butt the tile up against the wood for a flooring change that is free of a transition strip.
This transition strip is designed for joining a laminate floor to a tile floor.
