Hello,

We are installing tile in the entry way and engineered wood floor in
the adjacent room and hallways. We would prefer not to use
transition and butt the wood floor against the tile. Is this
recommended? If so, can I lay down the wood right up against the
tile or should I leave a gap and fill with grout or other material?

tia,

Your wood floor will need to expand and contract. That is why
transition pieces are used.

And for aesthetics, the transition molding makes a nice frame for the tile.
