Hi.
First off, thanks for reading my post.
We have this 12x20 family room that has two exterior walls (one brick wall with fireplace and one with this huge old fashioned sliding patio door). It is on slab therefore the room is extremely cold in the winter. The fireplace is pretty much for look; we loose warm air just to go in and out the patio door getting woods so we quit using the fireplace. We want to raise the floor but we can't afford to do that right now. We finally decide to use Dricore tiles then add laminate floating floor on top of that. It seem like a good choice but here we face a dilemma which we need your advise: what should we do about the transition to patio door since the new floor is going to be two inches higher than the initial floor which exposes the interior of the new floor to the weather?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Molly
