Tile higher than carpet.
It s much easier to sweep carpet crumbs off tile than it is to clean mortar out of the pile of a carpet.
Cut the edge of the carpet so that it reaches the edge of the tile perfectly.
The hardwood strip is unfinished and can be stained to match the color of the laminate flooring.
Pull the carpet over the top using a knee kicker.
Ceramic tile often creates a floor level that s higher than neighboring floors such as those made of vinyl thin hardwood or carpet.
The schluter reno tk profile provides a sloped transition between the tile and carpet and features a channel below the sloped surface to hide and protect the edge of the carpet.
Tuck the extra edge of the carpet under the gap and use the hooks of the transition strip to hold it in place.
Once my tile is installed it will be higher than the adjacent carpet.
The different levels can be visually jarring and cause people.
This transition strip is designed for joining a laminate floor to a tile floor.
First i can install the tile on a straight line that is easy to bring the carpet up to.
And because setting tile can be a messy job with mortar water and grout tiling first keeps the mess away from the carpet.
What profile would you recommend for this uneven transition.
Yes if the tile is higher than the carpet due to hardiboard or durock or medium bed etc.
