For now i ve just allowed the carpet to hang slightly over the tile because i have been uncertain how to complete the transition. What profile would you recommend for this uneven transition. I will soon be starting tile work in my laundry room where the tile will end up being higher than the carpet in the.

For example with ceramic tile installations a reducer strip is normally installed under the last row of tile and locked into place with the mortar that also holds the tile into place sliding over the top of the hardwood floor or carpet installation that butts up next to the floor. Steve gordon of creative carpet repair uses shims to raise the level of the subfloor so that the carpet is slightly higher than the tile.

The carpet people advise that the carpet sits approximately 20mm above the slab when installed so that s a difference of 15 18mm between the finished level of the tiles and the carpet. Keep the edge of the tile free of excess mortar and grout. The tiles will be laid on a screed bed and the finished level will be 35 38mm higher than the current slab.

All of these layers sit on top of the original subfloor which makes the bathroom floor higher than the rest of the house unfortunately. I have mostly completed a bathroom remodel where hall carpet is slightly higher than the tile. Carpet is warm and soft underfoot as well as quiet and is considered by the wcfa to be one of the most.
