    Room to room transition... do I have to rip up the old tile?

    DIYer tiling my whole house. Done smaller projects but in this I am concerned about the current use of tile and carpet and the transitions from room to room. Can I “build up” the carpeted areas once the carpet is out so that I do not have to rip up the old tile? I have attached a couple of pics.

    I don't know if you call it 'hardboard' in the USA but that's what we call it here: a shiny on one side brown stuff made of compressed something or other. Very cheap. Used on ceilings and generally painted over. This time I've found a place where they glued those very light foam plastic...
