I am considering installing a floating hardwood floor in my living center
and dining room. The adjoining kitchen which is vinyl, will be at a
slightly
lower level because most of the decent hardwood floor systems are at least
3/8" thick.

The living center and dining room will be at least 3/8" higher than the
kitchen.

Are there any issues with this difference in elevation? I realize there
are
transition pieces but the idea is somewhat disconcerting to me.

Are there any wood flooring systems that stand out above the rest?



My advice would be shop around Beware of Home Depots and Lowe's advice. Is
there a reason you don't want to go with a nail or glue down floor? Are you
thinking of a laminate flooring , Solid wood floor or engineered floor? I
don't think the transition will be a problem most the flooring has been
thought out pretty well for neat job. But do check to see what trim they
offer for your flooring choice
