I don't even know how they could fix that now. The tiler might be able to put a small ramp down along the doorframe. C U S T O M. C O R A L. B R O N T E. 43 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=79581 Once the tiles are in, it'll be 4cm higher than the door track so we can't go with the ramp . Thanks for the suggestion! I rang an independent building inspector today after seeing some recommendations on this forum. He suggested that I push the builder to rectify the issue as he believes it was an oversight by the site supervisor. We're going to give them the option of: A) Lifting the door. They will need to remove the metal plate between the sliding door and the bricks, remove a layer of the bricks, then cover it with a 35mm plate which will look like it's part of the door; OR B) Provide a customized door size. Neither is ideal because we're sacrificing either aesthetics or 4cm of the door height, but we think it's better than having a trip hazard. Hopefully the builder agrees to either of the above options! Re: Recessed sliding door is flushed to internal floor slab 7Nov 06, 2019 7:59 pm Did you ever get a reply on this??? Can anyone tell me if the builder is responsible for ensuring when the door is recessed into the slab to account for the floor inside? Builder has recessed the door but the door is pretty much touching the concrete. Slides fine without flooring but as soon as I want to put the tiles in, it won’t fit. The builder is claiming I need to cut the door so that the tiles fit under the sliding door? Re: Recessed sliding door is flushed to internal floor slab 9Nov 07, 2019 11:59 am I thought we had the same issue. They simply trim the bottom of the door upright frame things and it was fine Hope this is the same for you Re: Recessed sliding door is flushed to internal floor slab 10Nov 07, 2019 2:50 pm You are correct. It's just the fins on the sliding door that get trimmed. Ultimately you should not be able to see the edges of the tile. For the OP the tiler will need to install a tile edge along the door so there's a neat edge. It's not ideal but not the end of the world.
