Laminate flooring is often installed neighboring to ceramic tile. But the water spilled on the ceramic tile often overflows the tile, wets and warps the wood floor.

Here is some way to solve the problem: 1. The root of laminate flooring should be higher than the surface of ceramic tile. 2. The whole surface of ceramic tile should be leaned to a lower hole which is far from the laminate. And the spilled water can be shed from the hole quickly. 3. The transition accessories between laminate and ceramic tile should be of copper or some other material which is waterproof. Use glue to seam the gap to ensure that it is seamless to resist water. Wax can be used to enhance the waterproof performance.
