I have three of these transitions that I need to do something about. I thought I would be able to buy a reducer but them seem to top out around 3/4". After doing some more research it seems that I would need a ramp in this situation?
Is there something I can buy that would fix this issue?
Below is a photo of one of the transitions.
Find a custom wood molding shop in your area (there will be one) and have them custom bevel a piece of 1 1/4" oak in a width that suits your fancy, then stain and varnish it. It will be more easily accomplished than you think, and the custom milling charge you will pay will be worth every penny.
I might just butt a narrow piece of 1 1/4" oak right up to the tile, or maybe 1 1/4" quarter-round (if you can find it). Better to just know you have to step up/down than to have a weird sloped transition.
May want to get a white marble threshold. You’ll have to use an oscillating tool to cut the tile back or , I’ve used a drill with a Diamond wheel on it. Next time dry fit that and the do your tile layout . I know that’s 20/20 but… good luck with it.
Check YouTube. It’s saved me a few times.
1/2" plywood, 3/4" new hardwood, right over the hardwood you have now.
Drastic-seeming, but it will truly fix the problem. You're likely to trip and fall with these bumps and jumps. Seems like a not-thought-through tile project if it raised the floor level that much. Would help if the hardwood is a small area like a hallway.
If you have rooms with hardwood all around this tile job then some long gentle ramps would be better than short/steep ramps.
