Supply door threshold and trim?

[FreeD]

Hi all

Do you supply these or leave it to the customer? Surely its hard to know what threshold to supply when you don't know what the new height of tiled floor will be (current floor coverings still down may need overboarding etc, customer hasn't chosen tiles) do you show the customer pictures?

Thanks

Just go get one to suit once you know what is going down etc........schluter do some very good ones.......

It might be worth keeping a few of the most popular ones in stock, Save having to rush around when you need one

Thanks all.

Got a bit of a fussy customer 🙁 don't want the old 'why did you put that there' or 'don't like that at the end of the job'!

I think i'll add something like this to my t&cs

Tile trim and thresholds will be supplied and fitted unless otherwise instructed by client.

sticka takka whats that m8?

It is always best to discuss the type of finishing trim with the customer.....we know they like there input...🙂🙂

Yep very important Dave...i think its been hard for me with lack of experience with these things at mo next jobs i'm going to take some example pictures with me in future i hope to refer people to my website. Its never easy explaining all these things to the customer they really need to see pictures. Plus i don't know what i'm talking about 😉

You can actually get a sample of finishing trims from schluter....they come in a binder and have about a 30mm sample of each different trims......

if you email schluter they will send all the relevant stuff to you...
