We did this for downstairs but didnt see a need for upstairs Did you use clarendon or other project builder? Is it extra when we select tiles? Thanks for your help! Re: Recessed bathroom floors on the upper level 13Apr 29, 2020 11:57 pm edskii Clarendon, it'd be part of your internal/external upgrades when you do your color appointment Thats a great help! Thank you very much! Did you build in QLD or NSW? For some reason our sales rep says that it cannot be done. My only concern then would be that color selection is done after all contracts have been signed. Thanks again! Re: Recessed bathroom floors on the upper level 15Apr 30, 2020 12:51 am I see. Unfortunately, flooding is still and issue as having a drain is never a panacea. Ideally, wet area floors should be 4-5 cm lower not higher, so the tiler would create an incline with tiles towards the waste and flush tiles near entrance with your main floor. Re: Recessed bathroom floors on the upper level 16May 01, 2020 9:38 am The reason Clarendon will not want to do this is because due to them using Metal frames n Bearers it very hard to do changes as they are all made off site. With timber frames n bearers its easier to do on site and achieve the changes required thats why some builders say its easy due to them using timber frames. To make it easy the way Clarendon build would be to raise the rest of the floors rather than try to lower Bathroom Floors by 30mm Re: Recessed bathroom floors on the upper level 17May 01, 2020 9:40 am Splashers The reason Clarendon will not want to do this is because due to them using Metal frames n Bearers it very hard to do changes as they are all made off site.

To make it easy the way Clarendon build would be to raise the rest of the floors rather than try to lower Bathroom Floors by 30mm I asked them to do a quote for raising the floor up instead, and they told me that it would be very very expensive. Didn't really give a number tho. Do you have experience doing that with clarendon? Thanks!

FYI, it should not cost you more than $100 per doorway and even that is overcharging Re: Recessed bathroom floors on the upper level 19May 01, 2020 3:23 pm CF Design If the carpet is lower than the tile, use a very simple and common wedge to ramp up the transition.

If I fail to get clarendon to recess the floor, I will put those under that carpet instead. Did you have them installed at your house? Is it noticable? Thanks again! Re: Recessed bathroom floors on the upper level 20May 01, 2020 4:58 pm Honestly, it probably an easier and better finish in the end just to do this. Trying to convince the builder how to build won't end well. Their reasoning isn't perfect and as mentioned above, any spec/custom builders would do it, and should do it as a matter of getting it perfect, but that also require ms you to have specified tiles and carpet already camomiles Did you have them installed at your house? Is it noticable? No, I have seen them used when I managed a home improvement/renovations install operation. Probably 1/4-1/5 jobs used them However, they're not very noticeable at all. I have seen them used for carpet, vinyl sheet and plank style laminate/vinyl. As with anything, the more traffic the area see, the more likely you are to notice them. Obviously the steeper the ramp, the more noticeable they will be too, but I also find you rarely stand on the actual join. There are also my longer ones +upto about 300mm long for a less steep gradient for the taller ramps (>12mm) they can, it's a fairly standard solution when the slab isn't recessed. the falls need to be in the main floor, if it hasn't been done then you need to ask them to redo… 4 6595 isn't a garage level with the rest of the house a given? pretty sure they 'came around' long time ago. if you have a flat block, the garage is usually level with the rest… 1 17528 interesting situation what happened after builder issued final invoice? did you list as defect or not does the building surveyor have any responsibility? ie. issuing… 13 46973 |
