You're probably going to need to make (or have someone make) a custom transition. Start with stock (same species as wood floor) slightly thicker than required, then run it through a thickness planer until the height is right. Then run it through a table saw to bevel the edge. Soften the edges (either a router or with hand tools), sand, and finish to match the floor.

Hi there, you can use any size tile you like. Large format tile is very trendy right now, as far as style goes. Transitions all depend on the height of each floor. First, I'd have to ask if your hardwood flooring is solid or engineered. (because the subfloor would typically be different for each) If you have a cement/concrete subfloor, chances are, there won't be a huge height difference once the new tile is installed next to your hardwood (if it's engineered. Therefore, you'd be able to use traditional transitions like T-Moldings or multi-purpose reducers, you can even use a saddle (whatever look you like more). If you have solid hardwood flooring over plywood, the floor prep for tile is a little more involved. There are 2 ways to go about it; 1, install wire mesh (to act as a skeleton) and pour a self-leveling cement for your tile to be installed on to p of. This would add between 1/4" to 1/2" on top of the plywood subfloor, then your mortar and large format tile. The other way to install tile on top of a plywood subfloor would be to use cement board. You could install the cement board, and patch whatever discrepancies there are to make the subfloor nice and flat for your tile. After that, you're all set to install the tile. Always plan ahead for which transitions you'd like before the install starts. You have to make sure that the ones you want, will work out with the heights, and location of the flooring. (like where the old floor ends, and the new tile flooring begins) I hope this helped!

Leather is the most 'recognizable' pattern for cork (other than the ground up cork board look). When it is laid it looks like hardwood flooring using 'shorts'. It has a bit of a brick look to it. Ignore the 'pink' in the samples. The pink is the very first colour to fade away. It takes a few months for the pink to disappear but once it is gone the cork (Leather and Logan) will look more like oak in tone (yellowish with some hints of green and some gray). It is a 'directional pattern' which means it has a 'linear' sense to it. The Logan is the most expensive cork pattern you can get. The slices of pattern are random. They are hand cut and hand laid. It takes *roughly an hour for 1 person to arrange 10sf of the pattern. It is STUNNING. It looks more like stone. It is random...did I mention the pattern is random? Leather and Logan can have the extra 2 coats of the Loba 2K Supra AT = super tough. The Latte is a FANTASTICLY tough finish. It has the polypropylene finish on it. This is the 'non-vinyl' product Cancork sells. It is tough....right after that it is SUPER TOUGH. And then for good measure, it is TOUGH!!! For a Rental property, the Latte is a product I would recommend. It does NOT need the Loba product. That means you save $1.50/sf RIGHT AWAY. It can handle 3mm or 6mm cork underlay. If you are looking for temperature control, then I like the 6mm underneath...but CHECK your door heights, etc. All you need to do is take your floor sample and the underlay sample they sent you (their supposed to do that...sigh) and see if it 'slips' underneath the doors in your home. It is that simple. I hope that helps... As for the Tacoma...I'm guessing you are looking at KILOGRAMS (700 kg) as your weight limit = 1540 lbs. The weight of a standard skid of cork flooring = 1000sf (ish...depends on the product) = *roughly 2000 lbs. And the skid sizes are PERFECT to fit between the wheel wells of a truck bed. I've watched this stuff get loaded into pick-up trucks for 6+ years. A forklift operator can drop that baby into your truck (so long as you do NOT have a 'cap-it') and off you go. If you only have a short way to go, the 2000 lbs won't be much of a problem...I just wouldn't do a trip to Bella Coola with it. ;-)

I have the same issue. I have installed new porcelain wood look tiles in my entry hallway that transitions to my Pergo wood look laminate flooring in my kitchen. I am having an experienced carpenter make some custom wood transition pieces that will match the color of my oak stairs. He will also make a transition piece from the hall tile to my wall to wall carpet in n my living room. I just didn’t care for the transition pieces that I had seen in the building supply stores.
