How to fix floor height difference between rrom.
I am asking because a realtor said it would not pass inspection.
Transition strips do not bottom out.
You can deal with it easy enough using a belt sander and a piece of matching hardwood.
Sand stain and poly.
The height difference is so large that i can see about a half inch of mortar and the orange ditra.
Can anyone tell me.
The vertical section of the material slips down into the gap between the two different floors and the horizontal section lies horizontally across the top of each material to each side and hides the transition.
T molding transition strips have two lips to cover the edges of both surfaces when flooring products differ no more than about 3 8 inch in height.
This means that no matter what we add to the kitchen floor the height will be significantly different higher than adjoining rooms.
The leg of the t doesn t touch the floor.
It is probably due to adding plumbing under the floor to a 1917 home that did not have indoor plumbing.
The strip is supported on both sides by the lips and held in place with nails.
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.
A couple of pieces of oak and 3 5 cuts on the table saw would get me a 7 foot long strip with this profile.
In my head here s how it was supposed to go.
They give a flush transition in doorways when there is.
I have a 2 and 3 16 inch higher floor height in my kitchen then the living room and entry way room.
Cover up the spot where the wall used to be while making up a 1 1 2 inch difference in height between the two floors.
One way to bridge the gap between two materials is with a t strip named so because of its form.
The differences in height between the two adjoining floors is typically not more than 1 2 inch at most.
