Ok,
I have a bit of an odd question. I am planning on recovering the floors in my kitchen and den. Now my kitchen is concrete somehow laid over a wood sub-floor (there is basement underneath-not slab) and half of the den is the same (it was originally a porch and a den but was later incorporated into one large den and they added on a sunroom. Right now there is linoleum in both rooms (not matching and in bad shape). I really wanted to have a continuous flooring from the kitchen into the den. There is a bad transition between the wood and concrete and there's sort of a "step down" sloped spot (the concrete section is slightly higher and they attempted to bring the level close..but failed obviously). That would have to be leveled for any sort of non-carpet floor, right?. I can't figure the best way to level this. If it was all wood or all concrete it's be pretty straight forward. I'm guessing I'm stuck with linoleum since it's flexible and wouldn't crack on the weird spot (I'm no pro so I worry about attempting one big piece of linoleum-but I always hear most stick-down tiles don't seem to last). So what on earth can I do here ? Hopefully my description makes some sense
I can draw up something quickly if it would help...
