Ceramic tile to laminate transition [November 22nd, 2011]

Q: We are in the process of putting down flooring and I have areas of ceramic tile that will meet laminate. I purchased the transition pieces to make this join, however the ceramic tile is taller than the laminate and the track is not tall enough. They do not have a taller size track they tell me but I've spent over £5,000 and can't finish my floor. Can you offer any suggestions?
