Re: How high floor from footpath? 14Feb 10, 2015 10:33 am Saint Mike We don't have step-down to garage from house - but it does have a "lip" at entrance. Also a step down from rear garage door. I thought there were rules on step down to alfresco area - 50mm ? But - some builders try to make it more for some reason. Our biggest argument was having no hobs in showers. Looks awful and not needed. But do you think they'd agree. Took some arguing before we got what we wanted. Looks much better. Hey Saint Mike, With your tiled shower and having no hobs do you have a frameless glass screen or semi? Is the base of the shower at the same height of the bathroom/ensuite floor but with a gradient to the drain point? What were the arguing points presented by the builder to have the shower with the hob? Having it hobless did they charge you more? Did you get the whole ensuite/bathroom floor waterproofed? Any issue having this done on a double storey house? If anything I would have thought it is easier to do.
