Looks correct to me.

Ok thanks, just seemed a bit ofd. It maybe because it’s not painted yet so it really sticks out. Would a different type of saddle/transition look better?

I wouldn't want it this way. If the tile is higher, I would have butted the transition to the tile and then sloped it down to the wood floor. What you have looks like a trip hazard to me.

If the two floors are at the same height and neither is floating, then you don't need a transition like this. It's more common to have the transition at the same level as the two floors as is shown below.

If the tile is higher than the wood a reducer should have been used that slopes from the tile down to the wood.

I would not have used that profile but the piece will look reasonable once it is stained and finished. We usually end up making a custom transition pieces as the commercial ones don't match some aspect of our situation. I don't like the curve on the piece because it looks like a piece of baseboard, not a flooring piece.

S Sidhu , once its stained to match the floors it will look much better.

I agree with zsmith that a reducer would have been better because it looks as though it could be a trip hazard, especially for an older person who may not pick their feet up much. Yes, Lyndee Lee, it does look like a piece of baseboard.

That is a standard 4 5/8" wide oak threshold available at any lumberyard or box store. If that is at an angle like it looks (due to the floor heights being uneven) then yes it is incorrect. That definitely needs a reducer or a custom made threshold/reducer for this application.

@millworkman We widened the doorway and took out part of the wall so there is no wood floor on part of it. That makes it a bit tricky. The heights of tile and wood and are a little uneven but not too much. Can the area where the wall is taken out be left empty if we use a custom reducer?

S Sidhu,

I'm not millworkman, but I'll answer the question anyway. :) Yes, the empty space where the wall was can be filled with a custom transition piece.

That’s a piece of baseboard and totally wrong for this application.

Top photo is the op's threshold where it meets the door jamb. Notice the profile, now look at the 2nd picture.

contractor is adamant that there’s no other solution sigh!

@Nancy that’s what I decided since I was sick of the bickering back and forth. I’m happy with rest of the work so will just get someone else to fix this once it’s done. I have little kids and just want this over with now :( Good news is that all other work has been done quite well.

@Nancy this might be a dumb idea since I have 0 construction skills :) but could sanding the edge make it a bit better. It’s not so bad on the wood floor side?

That might be a temporary fix to make it less of a tripping hazard. But you really need a proper transition.

Someone in another thread with a similar problem mentioned stealing some original wood from a closet and filling in gaps left from wall removal. Then just use a regular reducer. Seemed like a pretty good idea.
