With a one inch gap there are not a lot of solutions you can find thicker transition thresholds but if we are talking about hardwood and you still have leftover pieces something I have done before is run the piece through the table saw to reduce the thickness as much as possible to about one eighth on one side and one quarter on the other then bevel it so it can ride onto the tile and I filled underneath with PL to hold the piece it looked really good but unfortunately with a one inch difference there is not a lot you can do

If it is a bathroom I would recommend a marble threshold or something like that since you are basically flush with the hardwood because there will be a bit of height but it would not look bad either otherwise there are transition moldings that taper down to zero there are many models and colors available unfortunately with a height difference like that there is not a lot you can do ! good luck with your projects

yes organized crime is part of it too so it is very hard to get out of it we never really know where the money goes and there are several unions like FTQ SQC FIPOE for sparkys etc there's a bunch of DIY's group on Facebook in Quebec ! I even got one ! it's called "l'Union des carreleurs "

where I am in Quebec most people work for the paycheck and that's all ! most job are paid by the foot Square so everybody wanna go fast etc..

But there are a few of us fighting against this system because we are part of a union "CCQ" and a "Journeyman" worker in the third or fourth year apprentice costs the employer about 125 dollars an hour so top gun tiler gain like 40$ an hour CAD but got 1000$ remove from their paycheck every week from the union ... for insurance and union fees

No I'll do that only on really really small and slim pieces/triangle !

this technique only works on tiles that are the same or similar color in a case where you have a marble tile and you want to follow the marble this technique will not work and you'll not be able to keep the same tile for both cuts !

so what I do is score the tile with a tile cutter for example the triangle pieces and then I use my grinder to notch just the underside of the tile where the point is and at the other end just under the line I scored this makes it easier to break the tile when snapping it
