Solving my flooring dilemma

3 replies

We have a small entrance hall extension to our house. The floor is 1970s wafer thin wood veneer glued on to concrete. The wood is worn and looks terrible.

I want to replace with tiles. Problem is the gap between the floor and the front door is tiny. I can’t even fit a door mat between them. Any tiles would be too thick and stop the door opening. I can’t shave the front door as it would leave a gap.

Does anyone have any advice? Is the solution to dig down into the concrete or is there a less drastic solution?

I would look into shaving the door and also raising the threshold so there is no gap.

Plenty of nice vinyl strip flooring about 4mm thick, no reason why you can’t shave the door even if you have to put a draught excluder on after.
Don’t start digging up concrete.
