I have hardwood floors in my house and I just finished installing tile in my kitchen. I need to make a threshold between the two. I am slab on grade home, so the hardwood side is - poly, 3/4" floating plywood, paper, 3/4" hardwood. The tile side, is 3/4" mud, 5/16" Ditra, tile. I tried to make the tile flush with floor, but the tile is about 1/4" higher.
How do you suggest making a threshold between the two? I planned on putting down poly, 3/4" plywood, paper, than taking 1" x 2-1/4" piece of oak and beveling it 3/4" on the one side so it's height goes from 3/4" to 1" x 2-1/4". Then nail this down to the plywood. I can router in a female groove to mate against the flooring. I assumed to leave a 1/4" gap between the tile and threshold and caulk it with the same color as the grout. The tile has 1/4" grout lines that is why I figure 1/4" would work.
If this works, where do I find a 1" x 2-1/4" piece of oak? I called a lumber yard and they told me they don't do hardwood.
