Browse Forums Building A New House 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. 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 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) Hi Stuey, think you’ve got a couple of options here you’d just need to decide your preference/which options suits best.
