Cutting out door frames to fit tile under - TilersForums.com

It's the moulded frame that meets the floor and that skirting will butt up against inside the room. I thought an architrave was a frame? Perhaps I've used the wrong word...

Architrave is the moulded wood strip fitted after the casing/frame goes in and is separate to the frame.. Have you got a multi tool?

No, but when I've fitted laminate flooring I've got by with a saw and chisel on wood and it's worked fine. These appear to be an MDF type material so should be easier than wood. I was just wondering about the height to remove but will use the laser level technique.

I managed fine for years with a wood saw, plunge cut multi tool just makes it easier..

Boggs does full refits so he gets to decide. Same with me

Im presuming he is on about a floor not a full bathroom refut , so you would NEVER take the arc of in a house where you are tiling floors, unless the house is being completely renovated .
Bad advice imo to rip arcs off

sorry but I completely disagree. Suggesting you would never do something is wrong. Sometimes you would leave the architrave on and sometimes you would remove them and replace/refit. It depends completely on the level of refit.

Personally if I was tiling say a kitchen floor then I’d prefer to take the skirts off too and then probably the architrave. That doesn’t mean that on some jobs I would never leave them on. Sometimes I would leave them on. Never is wrong.

To be fair, no one seems to give a flying broccoli and cauliflower sammich what yiu say sweetcheeks

I don’t cut the frames at all. Architraves I remove and replace/refit after tiling on all jobs. I find it easier and takes out the guess work.

Sometimes I would leave them on.

Now I'm completely confused!

I always cut arc's and don't rip anything off without first asking the customer
