Q: We installed a floating floor over marble tile in a bar. Now there is about a 1 5/8 transition from this new floating floor to another part of the bar which was hardwood. Who could we consult about the transition?
People are tripping over it.
A: You could speak to the persons who installed the floating floor. If it was your people, then I would say, there are transition strips for situations like this. The manufacturer of the flooring you installed should have one to meet your needs, even if you have to adjust it slightly.
