We have a dry cabin (no running water). We have an outhouse but are putting in a closet-sized room for a compost toilet inside the cabin. We have it framed and dry walled, but I’m not sure the next steps we should take. We wanted to put tile flooring and already have a door, but what order do we do things? Do we do the flooring first? Does the flooring go under the door? Or do we put the door in first and then lay the tile up to the door?
There’s just sheets of plywood on the floors throughout the cabin right now. At some point we’ll do laminate floors or something in the rest of the cabin but we’re not in a hurry to do that. So I’m trying to figure out how to navigate different flooring heights in the meantime - does a doorstep do that?
I feel confident in being able to do each individual step, I’m just not sure the best order to do things!
Lay flooring up to or under door?
Re: Lay flooring up to or under door?
Doors are known to swing over floor coverings, so, make a decision.
Re: Lay flooring up to or under door?
I also recently decided to replace the floors in my country house. Hiring workers turned out to be very expensive, so I decided to try to do everything myself. It was tough for me at the beginning. But I was fortunate, and I came across one site https://craftyclub.co/1363/cheap-diy-flooring-ideas-you-need-to-know-about/. It is essential to align the floor in height correctly; if this isn't done, the laminate or parquet won't lie flat. Of course, you need to start with levelling the floor and then everything else. I managed to lay the foundation well enough.
