Discuss Cellar Door Cover - Possible? in the America Tile Forum / Advice Board area at TilersForums.com.

Hi,

Appreciate any feedback and advice here.

The lobby of my house has a cellar door and this area is currently unfinished. Before a normal lobby doorway into the house there is a metal expandng security gate, and the hallway beyond is laid with parquet flooring.

I'd like to have the entire lobby tiled with patterned tiles and have seen several cellar door specialists offering "tray" doors which can be tiled, but these typically have a metal border which will obviously disrupt the "aesthetic" I'm hoping to achieve.

I've deployed my extensive MS Paint skills to create the attached, which hopefully better explains what I was hoping to achieve.

The orange shaded area would be a fixed row of tiles and the blue shading would be a single section of lifting "tray" which would be fully tiled. the existing cellar door could stay in this scenario.

Has anyone attempted something similar or am I asking for the moon on a stick?!

Cheers

Chris
