All,
How much of a gap should I leave between my wood strips and the tile from my kitchen? I will need to install a Transition as well, because of the 3/4 sub floor and 3/4 thick Brazilian Mesquite that I am laying.

Thanks

I don't start that area, until I have the transition in my hand. I learned early on, they are not all made the same.

Thanks for the help!!

if the wood installed and tile are relatively level with one another and you cannot successfuly keep the wood close enough to make a siliconized grout line, leave about a 3/4" space for a T-Molding.

My new floor will be approximately 3/4" higher than the tile from the kitchen. The intall is on a concrete slab, which I am putting down 3/4" plywood.

If your new hardwood floor is going to be exactly 3/4" higher than the tile the perfect transition is a solid hardwood reducer. Reducers come with a groove, so you can either spline them or lock them into the tongue on your hardwood floor.

If your on concrete, you must have thick sautello tiles!!

Your building up an inch and a half of flooring. If it is ceramic directly on the concrete, you going to have over an inch to cover. You may need to fabricate you own custom transition.

Right now with only the plywood down I am 1/4" higher, with the vapor/sound block and 3/4" boards I will be 1 1/16th higher than the tile.

I'm going with a reducer like GoodHouse suggested... thats why they make them

I guess if you shim the back side of the reducer along with chamfering the back bottom of the reducer, because it will be at more of an angle to make up the difference in 3/4 to 1-1/16, and not leave a gap, it should work.
