Great. I knew something like this had to be possible. Got quoted a crazy price on tile in our laundry room and the guy wanted a huge transition piece. My parents 30 year old custom built home has no transitions from oak to tile with no cracks so I knew UA-cam would have the answer! Thanks!!
It should. You will have extra shrinkage of the grout caulk so don't level/smooth it too aggressively, so that you don't remove too much caulk during that process. However, due to the height difference, I worry about a trip hazzard. You may want to look into a physical transition piece that will allow a more gradual transition to the new height. (if it's too late to install one, then you could make one of wood (if you have some skill with a router). Affix it to the wood floor and just a thin bead of caulk on the edge meeting the tile.
That’s what I was thinking instead of bulky transition strips. Thanks for the video
You are welcome. Yes, I'm very happy with both the functionality and the look since I did this job. Good luck!

Would it work okay if the tile is approx ¼ inch higher than the hardwood? Thank you.
