I will have hardwood flooring in my hallway and my adjacent laundry room will be tile. There't no actual door in the opening into the laundry room, so how far do you run the tile and hardwood? Do you split the difference in the center of the doorway, or bring the tile out to the edge of the hallway? Tile and hardwood on each side of the wall and a threshold between the two for the depth of the plate?

Usually you stop the flooring so that if you had a door you would only see the floorboards when the door was shut and not the tile peeping out underneath the door. Without a door I would just split the difference and stop the flooring in the middle of what would be the jam if it was there.

A threshold is the best way to handle this. A threshold would ensure you do not continually hit the edg eof either the tile or wood. Without the threshold you will eventually find the tile torn, and beaten down/ The wood could become splintered at the edge. I fyou don't use a threshold you will have to use soem kind of stripping where the tile meets the wood to avoind damage with continued use.
I would Get a thin wood threshold (usually uncolored) and stain it the sam ecolor as the wood floors. The make metal thresholds bu tit doens't look good between the two different floor coverings.

There is no correct answer, it depends on preference. If the wood is running into the laundry room, then turn one board perpendicular across the (would be) door opening to transition between the two materials. You may also like a granite or marble (solid material) threshold that matches your tile, as a transition piece. Many people choose to butt the two materials together in the middle. What ever you choose to do...don't have a small sliver of tile or wood at the door, planning will be key in high traffic areas.

I wouldn't stress too much over location as long as it is within the doorway facing. If you think you would EVER put a door up, I would place the break where it would be under the door. This means you would have to decide now which way the door will open.
We have some with marble thresholds, one with clean break wood floor to tile. Frankly I don't think anyone could tell you what kind of break we had if you asked a visitor.
Do what you think will look the best to you. You will be the only one who really pays attention.

Wood To Tile Threshold
2016-10-19 09:40:12 · answer #5 · answered by mclelland 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
sounds like u have a cased opening....if tile and hardwood were installed right they both will end up at 3/4 in finished height..u can butt them....at the center of the doorway...
if different heights or for another look u can use a "T" molding the same wood and color of the hardwood, looks good.....u can also change the pattern of the tile at the doorway to make ur own transition between the 2.....

We ran the tile and hardwood to the middle of the door frame and then put a threshold over top. Looks great.
Best of luck.

The wood and the tile should meet, under the door... leavinga space to intall a wood t-molding. The "T" then covers a little bit of both the tile and the wood. (I assumed the tile you speak of is a ceramic tile. If it is a vinyl tile, in plave of the t-molding, a reducer strip is used.)
