how to join wood floor with tiles without a threshold?

2 years ago

I’d like to achieve a seamless transition look between tiles in the open plan kitchen and wood panels in the dining area. How can we join the two without a threshold?

Sure, we have it like that in all our doorways, but you need to lay both carefully and idealy over such a long span to have a flexible join between to allow for movement.

We agree that wood would be a better option as it avoids introducing another material into the mix. With a brass, you'd be highlighting the joins whereas with a wood, all you see is wood to the next flooring material, letting the floors take all the limelight. Hope that helps!

Thanks to all who offered advice. The samples arrived and the space invader fabric was our favourite. None of the cube patterns were quite right. Do you think i could skip lining fabric since it is already so thick? I think it might be too bulky for a blind with lining too. The other thing I wanted is some general styling advice. I don't know whether I'm going to be able to pull off the look I was originally going for and i keep getting sidetracked by other things I also like. My original idea was a contemporary classic kitchen with a bit of an edge. So we have light grey shaker doors on bottom, then handleless white slab on top. Flooring probably wood effect herringbone vinyl. Walls will be off white and backsplash behind job will be very pale neutral zellige tiles. Handles will be more industrial style, I like quite a few from dowsing & Reynolds, probably in bronze so quite dark. Then there will be a built in bench with dark blue cushion on the seat and across the back. Table I would like something mid or dark wood and contemporary but I've also liked mid century style ones I've seen. And chairs are undecided but maybe black. Worktops are marble effect Quartz (white with grey veining) and an upstand and sink is undermount stainless steel. I have already bought pendants for above the dining table, they are patterned glass with a black ceiling cord. I can't tell whether I'm going to be able to make this work or just end up with an odd collection of styles which don't quite work and feel disappointed with it.

Thanks Angela, I'm aware of the mat and ply, I'm more after advice regarding expansion joints etc and how to make them not so obvious and where they are needed inside and out and what's required on the join between suspended and concrete? Sorry I should have been clearer. Thanks.

A cork expansion strip like this between the tile and wood should do the job, they are only 7.5mm wide.
