gne architecture We used a thin 1/8" strip of aluminum. You should always use some type of metal divider between wood and tile or stone. There are companies such as Schluter that sell specific items for this type of detail. Terrazzo strips are also a common solution.
Can you tell me if that door is metal or is that a metal paint? Is it an exterior door - and would you share the make/model etc? Or if paint, can you share the color? It's exactly what I'm wanting for my front door which I'm trying to finalize. THANK YOU! »
Does anyone know what the stainless steel trim on the edge between the wood and tile is called? I have looked all over home depot and other hardware stores for something like it and cannot locate it. Thanks! »
cooltown Great, thank you both for the insightful replies! Half the time I see something it' s just tricky to find the name of it. Now that I have the name I should be able to track it down. Thanks again!

I HAVE A SIMILAR ENTRY WAY. MINE LEADS INTO THE LIVING AREA GONG FORWARD - TOWARD TO THE LEFT IS A HALLWAY TO MASTER BEDROOM TO THE RIGHT IS HALLWAY TO OTHER BEDROOMS. DO YOU SPLIT THE LIVING AREA DOWN THE MIDDLE AS SHOWN IN PIC? DO YOU CONTINUE THE HALLWAY WITH THE WOOD ON ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER HALLWAY WITH THE TILE? OR STOP IT ALL AT THE ENTRANCE INTO THE HALLWAYS AND GO »
Don’t feel tied down to one flooring option, even if you live in a studio or loft with open space. Mixing different elements creates texture, contrast and visual interest.
We are yet to be sold on the idea of cork floors although we are open to discussions. We have looked in several places and there are some nice ones but we are still not sure exactly what you have in mind. However, this is a nice installation for butting hardwood up against tile.

I like the transition between the floorboards and tiles. It looks great as a smooth transition (no little ridge or perpendicular floorboard). The curved shape is quite effective also. I quite like the flooring colour combination also. Considering this for open plan kitchen/dining/living area.
