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...

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...
Hi all,
Got a job coming up soon, hallway with 600x600 porcelain white marble effect tiles 10mm thick.
Customer wants a cut out in tiles by the front door for a mat to fit in.
What is the best way to finish the edges?
I was going to use metal L trim but been thinking about sharp edges.
I have...
Hello folkes

I want to tile a wall without putting an timber architrave around the door...ideally I'd just like a trim around the opening.
How do I achieve this the door liner hasn't gone in yet.
Do you tile over the door liner and then cut the hinges out of the trim?
Thanks
Hi all,
Just wondered how people generally fix door threshold bars to concrete substrates. I usually drill holes and screw down with plugs but often struggle with drilling, ruining countless drill bits along the way. Does anyone use nail guns instead? If so, which brand? If not, any other...
Hi All
When you trim doors, just wondering what gap you leave from base of door to tiled floor (mm), can you also recommend a good would hand saw and or electric circular blade type, (just the blade).
Thanks

Bit stumped on this one. Just about finished tiling bathroom. However, the corridor floor is yet to be done and, therefore, finished height is unknown. It's probably going to be a floating timber floor but materials have yet to be bought. Any suggestions on how to finish the threshold? I don't...

Hi Forum,
I'm 75% through tiling my kitchen with 600mm x 600mm tiles. So far - so good.
My question is, how far up to the door do I lay the tiles? The door opens inwards into the kitchen, and on the other side will be laminate wooden floor.
Does the threshold go directly in the middle under...

Supplied and fitted a en suite shower room, finished it a fortnight ago but the customer still hasn't paid. Called round tonight to see why. There's a small scratch on the head of the door and a scratch about 5mm wide by about 40mm long on the tile trim above the door which is about 500mm long...
Went to start a repair on some door steps & taking the damaged tiles off it has pulled away the mortar or cement they were fixed to about 20mm
I was going to shutter it back in then tile but was wondering if there's any board, Hardi etc that's suitable for outdoor use?
Just about to take on my first attempt at tiling and do my bathroom. The walls are in a pretty poor state under the old tiles so planning to use Marmox backing board fixed to solid wall to give me the best chance of an even finish without the need to get a plasterer and wait for the plaster to...
