flooring transition in doorway
I currently have hardwood in my dining room which leads to the kitchen which has two layers of flooring old vinyl tiles (this is where my asbestos flooring exists that I may have remediated) and sheet vinyl on top of that (layed by the previous owners)...if I go one layer over this I am considering sheet vinyl... how do I transition from the dining room hardwood to the kitchen vinyl (there was carpet over the hardwood which kept the vinyl tucked down with the tack strip carpet holder)...I've seen those transition pieces in the parquet (sp) flooring section that are like a little ramp up and down with a T profile...

You have a variety of options. If you wish to remove the carpet/ underlay there are steel strips that ensure that there is little chance of catching heels etc I have used a piece od flooring that I have cut to match. It needs to have a rebate cut to cover the higher edge and the laeding edcge needs to be either rounded or a wedge shape to allow a slight ramp between the two le3vels. Check you local rules before attempting to removew the asbestos tiles. I prefer to leave them and reapply over if they are solid. Bob
