Managing flooring heights and ensuring floors contain no urea formaldehyde mean extra work on this job
I made myself very clear on this project: All products would be proven to contain no added urea formaldehyde, and there would be no transitions.
The homeowner had selected three styles of cork flooring that were almost ½-inch in thickness; prefinished solid hardwood that was ¾-inch; and the tile, the first flooring to go in, was sitting at 1-1/16
th inches in height once installed.
To complicate the job further, the cork was a floating floor, meaning that it does not get glued or nailed to the subfloor, which typically requires transitions, such as T-molding, where it meets up with other floors like tile and hardwood.
So, we decided on a modified transition.
