Hello
I need to install a transition strip between new stone tiles and existing laminate. The height difference is likely to be quite large (more than 1cm). Do you know of any transition strips which would accommodate such a large step (preferably wooden). The length required is approximately...

Hello Tilers I am a new girl on this site and I desperately need some good advice. It seems every bathroom installer has a different way of doing things and products used and the differences are also influenced by how long they have been installing showers. Some still defend using Plywood...
