We’re about to replace the tile floor in our kitchen. The new tile floor will be lower than the existing, eliminating the step from hallway to kitchen (see photo). Our contractor has asked us to get a marble saddle as a transition between the tile and the wood.

I want a wood saddle, or threshold, but I can’t seem to find one that’s made for a wood floor to tile transition. I can find only carpet to tile and carpet to carpet.

It also doesn’t help that I really don’t know exactly what I’m looking for, and the people at Lowe’s weren’t very helpful. I know that I’ve seen this type of transition done in wood. Maybe I don’t know the correct name of the item that I want.

Can anyone tell me where I can go to get something like this?

Thanks!
