Timber look tiling is alot cheaper and would not need the maintenance that you need with timber. something like the below. Has anyone done this? https://www.nationaltiles.com.au/woodma ... ernal-tile What’s your internal surface going to be that adjoins the alfresco?

As you mentioned this would be cheaper than the deck. Cheers !

Re: Decking new Alfresco 16Jul 20, 2018 2:21 pm We had this debate with our sales consultant and at our final selections appointment we changed from a 50mm to a 70mm drop, it cost us $250 because another engineers report was needed. They wouldn't let us have the drop any more than 70mm. It might come to us having to sand down the timbers right next to the door frame so we can slide it under the door frame. We found out that Dechellis rebate the sliding doors but couldn't tell us by how much so hopefully we can make 70mm work.

Thanks for this very useful, we are going to end up tiling it now ☺ Re: Decking new Alfresco 18Oct 08, 2018 6:44 am Not sure if anyone has requested this on their build but is it possible to have a no step down to alfresco? We are looking to tile our alfresco too but I think it looks better if the floor level is the same as the house?

We are looking to tile our alfresco too but I think it looks better if the floor level is the same as the house? Thanks I think that's what everyone's been talking about above - you'd need to rebate the door tracks, and then either have your alfresco slab at the same height as your internal slab to then tile it, or do this 100mm lower to allow clearance to put the decking down. Definitely can do it though, and it looks a treat Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Decking new Alfresco 20Oct 08, 2018 4:46 pm KingTaco Melbournevic Not sure if anyone has requested this on their build but is it possible to have a no step down to alfresco?
