I have been tossing around the idea of going to hardwood floors in some of the rooms of my home but really love the tile in my kitchen. I feel the contrast would be a unique way of displaying my home to guests and giving it a warm and comfortable feel. I appreciate this post as I was unsure of how I would make that transition, and figure out how to make it less obvious. Thanks again.

However, I wouldn’t leave them tight…that doesn’t leave room for movement. Most people at least grout the gap.

If you can’t do that then I’d recommend a circular saw to cut most of them, then a multi-tool when you can’t get close enough to the wall with the circular saw.

Good luck.

We have parquet wood floors in our living room, entry hall and up to the front door. When we purchased the house and refinished the floors, we removed a section of full tiles in front of the entry door to eventually lay slate tile (to help with keeping the weather of the wood floors). Now that we are ready to lay the tile, we are contemplating expanding the tiled area, which means removing more parquet flooring…to complicate it more, to properly expand to walls, corners of walls, etc, it means spliting some parquet tiles (only removing full tiles will not get us proper space for a nice smooth transition). Do you have any suggestions on how to properly cut the parquet tiles without completely disrupting them/ruining them? I would estimate needing to remove 1/4 of each tile/each direction. Thoughts? Also, love all the ideas for transition pieces as we are tackling that now as well (tile will be slightly higher than the wood). Thanks!
