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
