Where one type of flooring meets another—tile to wood, wood to carpet, inside to balcony—there’s usually a small height or texture change. If this transition is abrupt, uneven or has a big metal strip sticking up, it becomes a trip hazard.
Planning transitions early—using reducer strips, gentle ramps, or flush finishes—keeps walking smooth. You barely notice the change underfoot, which is exactly the point.
This is especially important where kids, elders or people carrying things move around. A bad transition is the kind of small detail that leads to real accidents.
