Floor Transition Height Difference

My contractor said that they had no choice about the height difference.

Floor transition height difference.

There is a significant height difference 1 1 2 inches between the new tile in the kitchen and the adjacent hardwood floor. Transition between 2 floors of different heights. The old one here when i bought the house was no good and i took it out in hopes to fix it but that did not go well. Can someone provide the maximum flooring deviation height difference between floor coverings e g carpet to wood tile to wood that would be considered a trip hazard.

The leg of the t doesn t touch the floor. With the carpet out there is a 1 8 difference in height between the two rooms. And yes i don t think any transitions should exceed 1 2 residential or commercial. Transition strips do not bottom out.

He said that they needed to do 2 layers of floating cement in order for the floor to be completely level for the cabinets. Reducer strips operate in a similar fashion to ramps in that they reduce the height from one flooring material to the other. The difference is that rather than being bolted down or installed directly onto the floor beneath they traditionally install underneath the edge of one of the materials locking into place. I m installing some 3 4 pre finished brazilian teak flooring in to a room that previously had carpeting and is adjacent to a room that currently has 3 4 oak flooring with roughly a five foot doorway between the two rooms the carpeted room seems to have 5 8 plywood over the 3 4 floor sheathing.

I m looking for some solutions to make this horrible transition between my kitchen and living room better.
