How To Level Two Different Floor Heights

You can deal with it easy enough using a belt sander and a piece of matching hardwood.

How to level two different floor heights.

If you are dealing with two different types of floor coverings a transition strip is almost always required. Plus ceramic tile in 2 areas is same height as the high room. 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. Found one room has 1 2 inch more concrete than all the rest.

This means that no matter what we add to the kitchen floor the height will be significantly different higher than adjoining rooms. This level wouldn t match the rest of the house. 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. Each material needs some kind of finish along its edge and different materials often create a change in floor height as well as changes in underfoot characteristics for example soft yielding carpet transitioning to cold rigid tile.

I just want a matching floor without tripping hazards. Although this is flat it differs with the floor height of the other room. The differences in height between the two adjoining floors is typically not more than 1 2 inch at most. Or leave tile and pour over all the area fresh concrete to level the whole area.

If you have a timber floor it will need 6mm ply and the floor covering is only 2 8mm if you have a concrete floor it will nedd latexing which is ony a couple of mm.
