I am replacing a defective enginered floor that was 9/16 inch thick with new enginered flooring that is 1/2 inch thick. This new floor will be slightly lower than the tile it will butt up to, any suggestions on how to make up this 1/16 inch difference?

Perhaps additional layer of felt???? first run will be tricky to fit ... but who knows ??? Just a thought :wink:

In order to achieve what the competition cannot grasp, we must complete what they will not attempt. Nobody ever said it would be easy, but it's darn sure worth it.

I can't see that 1/16 as a problem. But.....If you are nailing it down, shim it like JC says, if its gluedown, gluedown some vinyl flooring as a shim to get the height right, then float that out with some ardex feather finish.

Thanx for the ideas, I will try them.
Has anyone worked with Shaw enginered flooring ? They have an exotic series, but it is a fixed length, 36". Would this look ok if you stagger the starting rows?
