How do you guys board around doors? If i go up to the architrave then the tiles will be too proud, if i remove the architrave then you'll always see the edge of the board and tiles from the side of the door. (if you follow). Can this be avoided? If so how do you guys normally finish this off?

Any pis??

Option 1 - Remove your facing, sheet on top of your standard leaving 3mm short. Tile up to your standard & bring your trim flush or refit your facing flush. You can fill to the thickness of your PB with silicone.

Option 2 - Remove your facing, sheet on top of your standard running flush. Fill the ingles of your standard up to your door check with 4mm ply out to the depth of your tile. Tile up to your standard & bring your trim flush or refit your facing flush on top of your 4mm ply. You will need to plane the height of your door by 4mm & width by 8mm. This option is more work but a far better finish.

Take architrave of, Do what you have to do re board tile etc. then a strip of wood around door frame to finished wall surface then architrave will fit back flush.

Strip of wood where mate? You mean something thin to cover the door frame itself? Like 5" wide? Meaning I'd have to plane te door down all round?? Or have am I getting confused?

Think he means, remove facing , then tile up to standard. Rip piece of wood (thickness of tile+adhesive) and attatch to standard bringing standard level with face of tile then fit facing over top of tile :)
