Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Installing Hardwood Floors After Handover (volume builde 3Jul 11, 2017 7:20 am joe_bas80 Hi All, we are about to contract with a volume builder and have decided to install our own hardwood floor post build. The hardwood floors will consist of a 12mm plywood underlay and then the 14mm hardwood floor on top. All of this will be installed over a concrete slab. I'm struggling a little with all the issues that will come with this such as: - How to achieve a flush transition to tiled wet areas (give hardwood and underlay = 26mm and tile on concrete slab is around 12mm) - Flush transition to Carpet - Kitchen height, should I raise to accommodate higher floor - Kitchen bench top height should I raise to ensure dishwasher fits Would be great to hear from anyone who has installed a hardwood floor post handover and any tips they may have. Thanks, Joe Hi, I've just recently completed the installation of floors in our build. We had an agreement to have our skirting boards painted and tacked on. I undercut all doors and architraves as it really makes all the difference. For kitchen areas we have a waterfall island and you can grab L bracket trims to cover any hard surfaces such as those. For carpet, I used multi trim piece. I also packed and raised the carpet slightly to match our timber floor height. As for door clearance our carpenter was good enough to ask me how far I wanted them cut back so it might be worth letting them know. Consider doing it yourself if you can and all the best. i did click it, still couldnt make it out rofl. in any case, doesnt look like too extreme a slope, you may be in luck.
