Hi everyone,

I will be installing 3/4" flooring onto my slab. The wood flooring will abut another room that has tile. The installing the 3/4 CDX subfloor, 15# roofing paper and 6mil poly moisture barrier will roughly create a difference 1 inch to 1 1/4 inchs higher than my tile. What kind of transition techniques do you recommend? The height difference will be more than a 3/4"reducer strip can handle. I thought about T-Molding, but I'm not sure if this piece will be the solution. Do they make reducer strips thicker?

Thanks...Stan

You can. 1) make your own 1 piece reducer from a piece of 5/4 oak, or 2),add a thin strip of wood to the bottom of the 3/4 reducer you have now. That thin strip would bring the height of the tile "up" to where it is level with the 3/4 plywood. Then your 3/4 oak reducer will sit on it.

Thanks, SK (BTW, like the intinials)

I like your idea. I'm going try to use a 3/4 reducer and remove the bottom edge of the groove side and cut a narrow strip which can shim up the one edge. I'm also going to try your suggestion of using 5/4 stock to make my own. Would give me a good excuse to buy that Milwaukie router and table that I've been eyeing.

Thanks again for your input.

Best...Stan
