    Default Joining tiles to carpet. Which door bar?

    Hi,

    I need a door bar of some sorts to bridge the gap between my tiled bathroom and carpeted landing.

    Normally this would not be a problem but there is quite a big height gap between the two rooms.

    The tiles have been laid on to ply so the height is 30mm.
    The carpet is about 20mm high.

    I think an aluminuim coloured bar would suit.

    I was thinking of this http://bit.ly/dI6QZc and lay a small strip of wood under it to raise the height.
    But I have heard that they loose the suface covering and damage quickly and easily .

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Exactly what I would suggest, teeth for the carpet one side and sits over the tile on the other. Good for height differences such as yours.

    Thanks for the replies.

    The biggest z bar I have seen is for 18mm tile height.
    So should I lay a small piece of wood underneath to make up the difference??
