Question:

How do I transition between ceramic tile and floorboards over 22mm?

Hi, We‘ve just restored our hall floorboards, the room looks great. However the transition into the kitchen is approx 22mm in height. The kitchen has a ceramic tile finish. I‘m struggling to find a reducer bar to handle in the transition, all those I find go up to 20mm. Are there any products out there to handle a larger transition. Or should I somehow try to build up one of the 20mm reducers to a greater height.Thanks a lot.

Answer:

Being a ceramic installer for 20 years, Ive run into this problem before. Yes you ll have to build up that 20mm reducer a bit. You ll have to see if building it up with an adhesive, shims a pc of wood. See what works best in your case. If you do adhesive, predrill holes in the wood and then let it set for at least 24 hrs before tacking it down. If you shim it up with wood , glue and shim it and set the shims toward the back and tilt the reducer forward. If you have any questions e mail me through my avatar. GL
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/GKKcn Call your local eye doctor and ask where you can find a pair, maybe he or she will be able to make a suggestion or maybe even give you a pair if you explain why you need them. It does not hurt to ask. Good luck.
Sand, soda ash, slats, dolomite, colorants
Sand: finely divided rock and mineral particles, typically high in silica (silicon dioxide: SiO2). # Soda ash: sodium carbonate: Na2CO3. # Dolomite: calcium magnesium carbonate: CaMg(CO3)2. # Limestone: a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate: CaCO3). # Salt cake: sodium sulfate, the sodium salt of sulfuric acid: Na2SO4.
