Threshold Higher Than Flooring
It s essentially a transition piece placed between the two floors inside a door jamb to prevent a lip.
Threshold higher than flooring. A step down threshold is used when the new floor is higher than your carpet as might be the case when installing carpet next to thick tile. Ceramic tile often creates a floor level that s higher than neighboring floors such as those made of vinyl thin hardwood or carpet. In this video we show you how to transition between different floor heights from tile floor to wood floor installations. Ceramic tile floors tend to be higher than laminate floors because tile is installed over cement board while laminate usually lies over a thin foam underlayment.
Thresholds between two uneven wood floors are nothing more than tapered hardwood. This transition strip is designed for joining a laminate floor to a tile floor. A half saddle transition strip is designed for flooring where one level is higher than the adjacent level. If you do have matching levels you can butt the tile up against the wood for a flooring change that is free of a transition strip.
This type of threshold is screwed down through the carpet and angled so that it can provide a smooth transition from one height to the next.
