New home, have tile in entryway and hall, beside entryway & hall is formal living room and dining room which is carpeted. Is there anything I can put down where carpeting & tile meet?Builder put down low pile carpet & you can see & feel where the tile ends and carpeting begin.
It would mean picking things apart and re-laying both carpet and tile.
