door

I'm tiling my bathroom using white metro tiles 20mm x 10mm (not bevelled). I want to use a brick bond pattern. When tiling around a window/door do I start above them and work down or do I start at the first full tile above the floor and hope the pattern matches back up above the window/door...

I'm converting a small bathroom in to a wet room. It has a sliding pocket door. I was going to tile the whole room with 600 x 300 porcelain tiles but the wall of the pocket door is extremely flexible. I'm an experienced DIY guy and have researched this project to within an inch of it's life but...

Hi, I've had a new extension built with bifold doors. I'm raising the floor height of the concrete floor, but I'm unsure how high i can take the total floor build up including tiles. My intended height is where the green line is, is that possible or could i go higher if needed. On my doors, the...

Hello, I'm tiling a bathroom at home and the O.H wanted the tiles up to the edge of the door frame. I'd normally tile up to architrave but I ripped it off without much thought. As i was scraping the paint off the walls today i had a closer look and I'm not sure it will work out too well? Any...

Hi, Thanks in advance for any advice. My kitchen has just been done by a guy who originally said he would bring in a specialist tiler but then just tiled it himself saying that the tiler was double booked. After tiling he removed the door and at that point chipped the tile in the doorway...

What approach do you guys take when tiling a floor and you have the obstacle of a door frame? If im doing a wood or laminate floor i usually undercut the frame and slide the floor under the frame. Sometimes a bit tricky ig working towards the door. What would you do when tiling a floor...

I have refitted my ensuite and I have made it to the last step only to run into trouble I cant seem to fix. I have a tiled shower floor with wet room tray underneath, all tanked etc and tiled the walls. Sliding shower door frame fitted. Siliconed up where the metal meets the tile but I keep...

Just wondering what height to cut clear - Tile + How much for adhesive? The tiles are 59cm x 59cm porcelain and 9-12mm thick. I have a 20mm trowel. I think that is 15mm height so applied at an angle presumably will be somewhere between 9 and 12mm (depending on angle)... is there an official...

hi everyone.. So doing this wetroom.. have boarded the walls with 6mm jackoboard. Have boarded around the door frame and left the timber frame exposed. So the board sits proud of the frame, as will the tiles. Is it best to tile to the far edge of the door frame or up to where the frame...

Hi Guys, thank you very much for the responses to my question on the pocket door. I went with 18mm marine ply and 6mm Jackoboard. I am now prepping for tiling. Because of the build up of the wall, I am thinking about putting 2 pieces of 12mm trim up the edge of the wall. 1 piece to mask the...

Hi We are just near the end of getting our bathroom refurbed by a local plumber. The tiler he used did a good job overall, but left the threshold with a 7mm rise on the left had side versus the right. Now when the plumber tries to fit the threshold z-bar to the carpet, on one side it is flush...

Going to soon start tiling our open-plan kitchen/dining area, which has a large sliding door along one wall. I'm using 600x600 porcelain. The plan was to get the top of the floor tiles flush with the top of the sliding door cill to create a seamless transition from inside to out (decking on the...

Hi all I have previously bought a deep silver coloured threshold for carpet to engineered wood floor. I cannot for the life of me remember where I got it from and now I need one for bathroom where tile and backer boards have raised the level. Just a standard silver one but deeper than the...

Just been to a friends house where a window has been removed and replaced with French doors. The existing floor is a sand cement screed. The new door has has left an exposed section of cavity wall along the base of the new door. Do i lay a DPM in the cavity and screed over the cavity joining...

Evening Does anyone know how to tile around a door frame that has had the architrave removed and won't be put back i.e the tiles will run up to the inside edge of the frame close to the door itself? My thoughts were like tiling a window to square the door frame off and then put the trim in but...

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a product or alternative way to finish a 25mm depth at a door threshold? Tiling onto overboarded floorboards which when it gets to the doorway needs a bar or something else that can ramp down to the floorboards as there is no other flooring (i.e. Carpet/laminate)...

Hi, any advice on tiling over a crack 750 wide? Basically there's a 300 resess to the back door and it seems as the builder has patched in the concrete in the small area to the existing original concrete floor after the new back door has been fitted. It also sounds pretty hollow. I know I could...

I would like to improve the open porch area outside our front door. Directly outside the door are quarry (?) tiles. At some point they have been overpainted with red tile paint but it is now starting to flake. In front of the tiles is a concrete doorstep. Is it possible to tile over both the...

Dear forum members As per the attached photos I am having some issues with a semi-frameless shower door that was fitted by (highly competent) bathroom fitters. I have checked the level of the side panels, and aside from minute bias towards the centre, which I believe is entirely due to the...

We are having a bathroom redone after a bad tile job (see my other post). We are going to get porcelain tiles this time but want to try and disguise as best as possible the bowed area of wall above the doorway. I like large tiles, but Would a smaller tile be better to fit and disguise the bow...
