Hi all,
So it turns out that we were told the wrong information by the house developer and that they have put a proper floor in the property of concrete, ready for our floor finishing (tile, carpet, laminate, whatever) and the 150mm that we thought we had is in fact wrong and I'm waiting on clarification on how much space we have between the concrete floor and the thresholds etc...
Due to that, I've had to look at various other options and it seems that the only options I have are having an overlay system like Polypipe or Nuheat Lopro boards which are the grooved poly boards that are 18mm thick or electric, which I'm not keen to do as it's for a 70 square metre area and would cost a huge amount to do.
My questions really revolve around the gap between the floor and the thresholds. I'm guessing that internal doors are easy enough to shave down? What's the situation with external doors and skirting?
By my calculations:
Thanks,
Andy

By my calculations:
- 18mm overlay
- 3mm ditra matting
- 3mm adhesive (for the matting and the tiles)
- 10mm tiles
- 34mm total - Will this cause an issue?
- 18mm overlay
- 10mm mdf
- 6mm underlay
- 20.5mm Carpet
- At least 54mm including the deep pile of the carpet
Thanks,
Andy
