flooring transition, stone to wood
Comments (4)Couple things to remember: if you are doing a floating wood floor, it isn't appropriate to but it to the stone: prevents the wood from floating.

Comments (3)In your situation and having a very thick cased opening I believe a wide marble saddle would look good. Transition materials such as saddles or Schluter Schiene metals protect the edge of the tile from chipping. You do need to leave a slight expansion no matter which way you go.

I should have said, the boards meet this doorway edge on, that is, the boards are the long part of the T and the doorway is the top of the T. Thanks. Anthony...See MoreFlooring help!
