Where should tile finish in a doorway?

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

So everyone would finish the floor PAST the door closer so you had to rebate the bottom of the door?
Nowt weirder than folk

If both floors are at the same height or a threshold strip is fitted then finishing past the door closer will hide the transition.

You won't want a lip to trip you into the room so best to fit a taper of some kind which will mean no need for a rebate and no gap under the door.

Ok no problem, but whats this got to do with the thread ? If the floor is 2 heights would you finish past it so
A-you would see the different floor covering in the opposite room when door is closed
B-rebate the bottom of the door.
Now ive only been at this for a bit but i have never seen a door bottom rebated
 
Door's hinged on the laminate side so you won't see the different finishes when the door's closed.
 
I always finish half way under the door, but sometimes due to differing heights then a threshold strip the width of the door casing could be used with a small slope to avoid the lip.

why are there differing heights was the tiled floor area built up prior to tiling?
 
I always take my tile approx. 5-6mm into the casing where the door closes. Hopefully the floor covering on the other side also goes into the casing by at least that much. That way when the new threshold bar is fitted it actually sits underneath the door, in its rightful position and covers both floor coverings.

One of my pet hates is seeing door bars standing proud into a room!!!
 
Agree with most others, centre of door, if door is opening away from higher level, trim door on angle so gap on lower side is not so big
