How to finish floor tiles in a doorway

[Spud]

nice architrave cut very well done but you must agree you do get a better finish if you let the tile under the wood work and not all tilers do such nice cuts as you i have seen some right butchers

Yes m8 I have to agree with you but sometimes it is just quicker to cut the tile.

To a suitable place inside the door jam. Didnt trim this off because the thick door matting made it awkward.

Unsure what I am looking at with that one.:huh2:

Cut the tile or cut the wood....hmm.
I still think it is quicker to cut the wood.
There have been a couple times when I didn't cut the wood due to having no saw, but by far the best is to undercut.
No Silicon and no grout at that point makes a really clean profile.

Nice cutting though.

Is that a better perspective (wide view) What we can see is a fitted door matt to a back door fixed at 1m then hall carpet. A fixing bar between them. But the tiled floor meets them from the downstairs loo without a trim piece.

Yes it would have been better to have the doormat fit across the entire width of the door but it only comes in one size so is short.

But the porcelain tiles have no edge trim

I generally scribe the tile to the door mouldings too unless Ive got to a job before the skirts have been fit etc...

I always cut the architrave and door stops away but NEVER the door frame/lining, a lot of door linings are either sunk into the screed or fixed to the floorboards, I know a lot of chippy's that do this to help secure the lining and if you cut it away you can loosen the whole frame.
