Floors Height In Adjoining Rooms

With a patchwork of different floor coverings come different heights in so many cases you will need a transitional device because the tile floor often is higher than the adjoining wood flooring.

Floors height in adjoining rooms.

In a perfect world your flooring would flow seamlessly from room to room. The problem now is that with only the subfloor down at this stage the kitchen is the same height as the adjacent dining room and hallway which have hardwood floors. If the subfloor is the same in both rooms connecting the two rooms with an even floor. One problem that many homeowners run into occurs after the flooring is installed.

Outside of function different types of floors might be installed simply for aesthetic reasons. In the real world however you cannot help but transition from one flooring type to another because different rooms need different types of flooring. Hardwood flooring for example would flow continuously from living room to bedroom to kitchen to bathroom. The new flooring is often higher than the floor in an adjoining room.

When you re installing a laminate floor the issue of transitions arises when you have to change flooring in. The uneven floors can cause people to trip or stub their toes on these surfaces. This means that no matter what we add to the kitchen floor the height will be significantly different higher than adjoining rooms.
