fitting flooring help

4 years ago

We had a large extension with low (no?) threshold sliding doors for disabled use. Floor is screed over ufh. At the time we planned to use 18mm engineered wood, so the screed was finished 18mm below doors.

But have since discovered LVT..much more practical for us.

Problem is it’s only 2.5mm thick as opposed to 18mm. How will we avoid a trip hazard at the doors now? We can’t raise the entire floor as the area is much too big & we have kitchen, loo, etc in!

Can someone please advise how this can be solved? It’s worrying me! Thanks

I’m clutching at straws here, but you could board over the floor to raise it up? But again it’s a big job if the floor area is large.......I’m stumped too. How about porcelain floor tiles? They come in a huge range of styles including wood effect and stone effect. My sister has them in her new kitchen laid in a herringbone pattern and they look fab. Very tough and easy to clean.

hi all, i'm finalising floor plans for single storey new build. We like the layout generally but there are a few niggling things that we need advice on. 1. The sliding door /patio doors are in the family room- there is no door out from kitchen. Would people recommend having this in Kitchen OR Leaving it as is in the family room. 2. The hotpress /linen store size? is it too small? and also it's position accessing through utility. would people recommend this or not? 3. The exterior look has a mono pitch roof on the kitchen diner family room- would people recommend full height in kitchen diner and then reduce for family room? or vice versa. 4. The width of the kitchen family diner is 4.8m- is this enough to allow for island or should we consider going to 5m deep? 5. In general the house is North facing, do people feel that we are maximising light through use of windows and position of living areas? ( that's v general question-but i feel more could be done) I'd appreciate all opinions advice as I really don't want to make any obvious mistakes that I'll regret. thanks very much.

I'm wondering if I share the ground floor plans would that make it easier to understand the house layout. As I'm thinking maybe the bathrooms have to be on one side of the house for plumbing reasons? Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you

How to fit curtains when windows are over radiators?
Q

Hi all! Hope you can help me. I’m renting a house and doing small decor upgrades do give it a bit of my taste, so I’m changing the curtains. The problem is all the radiators are located under the windows. I like the full length floor to ceiling style but I’m afraid it will affect the radiators efficiency. I was told to fit the curtains just below the end of the windows, but it doesn’t seem right to me. Could someone help , please? Thanks! 😊
