At the studio M appointment in Sydney they get you to sign off saying that the 'industry standard' is 3mm for rectified tiles however our consultant advised us to speak to our site supervisor/tiler to ask for 1.5mm. It's making me nervous as it seems risky...

Re: Building with Metricon 6025Sep 06, 2017 2:41 pm Vet Did anyone change the height of the garage door? Is it needed? Currently mine is 2150. Is this sufficient? I changed mine to 2340mm to match the height of the top of the windows. Just a work of warning. If I was to do it again I would make it 2490mm as the garage is often a step down of 150mm. We learnt this the hard way.

Not looking optimistic as they won't match the vaining in our tiles.

Is it cheaper to do post handover or through Metricon? What are rough price estimates? It cost approx $2.5 for my laundry layout upgrade below via Metricon in SA. This was just standard benchtops (Formica Sail White Oxide) and standard doors (Laminex Bronzeworks) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building with Metricon 6029Sep 06, 2017 5:47 pm Vet Did anyone change the height of the garage door? Is it needed? Currently mine is 2150. Is this sufficient? My garage door is 2372 high and 5200 wide. The garage concrete has a 50mm setdown from the main slab height. The window height is 2322, so it should all line up nicely. I have ceiling height of 2700 Re: Building with Metricon 6030Sep 06, 2017 6:58 pm emmyawards rectified tiles have had there edges cut/grinded to be square so as to but up against to other tile to look totally flat. It is a minute difference but it is the type of tiles you see in displays and it makes you think the floor looks ultra smooth. They are more expensive to buy and lay. I know as I did tile selection a couple of days ago and they do cost. Re: Building with Metricon 6031Sep 06, 2017 8:07 pm Vet Did anyone change the height of the garage door? Is it needed? Currently mine is 2150. Is this sufficient? We should have... but didn't. We have 2150 door but 3000 ceiling height in the garage. Should have made it 2500. Fortunately, we have a funky design with cladding so if in the future we really want to change it, it won't be as hard as brickwork. Pain in the butt though and luckily we have sedans.
