What the work should include
Review the finished heights of both floor assemblies before installation. The scope should identify the transition location, profile and adjacent floor treatment. Existing door clearance and trim may need attention, especially when tile preparation adds thickness beyond the visible tile itself.
Choices to make before work starts
Compare available transition styles with the adjoining finishes. A low visual profile still needs to accommodate the actual assembly and product requirements. Discuss where the joint sits beneath a closed door so the boundary feels intentional from both rooms.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Height differences, doorway count and trim changes affect the estimate. Send close-ups from both sides and product thicknesses when available.

A question about this work
Can a transition be chosen after both floors are finished?
It is better to choose it beforehand. Finished heights and edge placement can limit options once installation is complete.
