I had a quick question, were you able to successfully get your sliding doors rebated into the slab? We got knocked back by M as being unable to offer it. I originally had stacker and sliding door rebates but these were eventually cancelled by M when I told them I would be doing my own hardwood flooring post handover. If you’re like me and are doing hardwood flooring, they can’t rebate the doors because your floor will sit 40mm above slab level. One point to note is try to have the same type of doors. Ie Stacker/stacker, or sliding/sliding. Not Stacker/sliding. What I found was that the finished floor level of the doors varies for a stacker vs a sliding door. A stacker will sit 50mm above slab and a sliding will sit 40mm. If this is the case you need to change your doors or make sure you tell your site Manager to tell the carpenter to lift and pack under the sliding door an extra 10mm or else it’s outside of Building code to have two different finished floor levels.

Looks amazing. Did you use Merbau? What’s the expected maintenance of the deck too? My landscaper is encouraging me to consider Modwood as it’s low maintenance but I’m not sure about it.

I don’t know about tiling, Sorry. I think they should be able to rebate the slab to accommodate. I would definately challenge them.

I am getting 19mm solid timber that will be a direct stick to the slab. When I got M to do the slider door rebate I advised that of the 19mm and they design the rebate to match the floorboards. I hope it turns out nice and flushed.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the read =) As for your question, yes I got my sliding doors rebated into the slab. Wasn't any issues at all. Which state are you in?

My landscaper is encouraging me to consider Modwood as it’s low maintenance but I’m not sure about it. Thanks. Yes I went with 140 x 19 Merbau. I'm using Sikkens for the staining/protection. It has a yearly re-coat recommendation. We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37160 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19114 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
