wood tile to normal tile transition

[scott anthony]

OK I need your creativity here. I am doing 1300 ft of house with 3/4 of it in the wood looking tile, 6 x 18 planks. The rest of the house either has tile already or going with a normal 16 x 16.
How would you break up from one to another with these. One area is about 8 feet the other two are doorways. Wouldn't a average strip of anything fancy look odd? A saddle or tumbled marble don't seem to click. I'm almost thinking nothing but that don't sound right either.
Any Ideas?

I would think, that wherever the wood looking tile stops, if you can make that your starting point with full tiles. Then the next tiles just starts from there.

If you can keep it at the same height, go with nothing. I think that would look best.

You could also use a Schluter trim, if you must use something.

Ya tiles are about the same height, I was thinking nothing also but still scratching my head.

I'm not sure what you mean by wood-looking tiles. If you mean a lamiate, floating type floor, it really needs some expansion space everywhere.

Depending on the colors, I have seen some copper inserts that would look pretty good they have various designs available expensive like 6.50 per 2"x2" but they really are cool looking was gonna use some on a slate job I just finished to tie my floor into some existing slate in the foyer but the homeowner ended up having me tear it up and put a custom design. Gotta love tearing up the last guys work (was only done like two years ago).

Scoot the last wood tile look a like floor I did. I used a t cap just like a wood floor for a transistion between another tile and it looked pretty sweet when it was finished

[scott anthony]

You know I thought that wouldn't look right, it was considered but it seems to only make sense that it should look like the normal wood transitions.
Thanx opie, I that's the way Ill go even thought the copper sounds sweet but out there on the cost.
Hey Opei how the hell ya doin?

[opiethetileman]

What i did was bought some raw t cap and had some stain made to match. Also I tried to keep my joints at 1/8 joints. The tile is easy I just layed it like the reg wood floors. I just cut and went the ends i cut off i saved and threw back in the floor. I am doing ok I shot 2 fingers togther last week with a finish gun holding door casing up with one hand and shot it with 2 3/4 finsh nails and wham got my fingers. Hows the weather there???

[GraniteGirl]

Opie - do you even have enough fingers left to consolidate a few?

[opiethetileman]

As long as I can pick my nose I will be ok???? lol

What about using the rounded brass divider that schulter makes for juntion between real wood flooring and tile,I have those in between bedroom and bath ,installed they are about 1/4" wide and add a pro finished look,I have a t molding out of close grained oak in another doorway,stained to match or blend ,however the brass looks much neater. yet I guess it is who's eyeballin it,as to what looks best!! have A great day!!!marvin

[scott anthony]

Marvin is this what your referring to?
If it is, it does look good and keeps everything level to the surface. I like that.

[opiethetileman]

I say go with a tcap wood peice. looks more like wood that way

When ever I can I always prefer an uninterupted level transition in any floorcovering.
