Flooring and door fitting sequence
Tiles, timber flooring, laminate and carpet can all change the height beneath a door. Planning the finished level prevents a door being cut twice or ending with an excessive gap.
Flooring and door fitting sequenceThis doorset diagram supports flooring and door fitting sequence by showing the door, frame and hardware as connected parts of one opening.
Finished floor level changes the clearance
Where flooring is not installed yet, the expected build-up needs to be known. For renovation work, existing thresholds and transitions between rooms should be checked at the same time.
What to look at
Start with the opening, the condition of the existing door and frame, the way the space is used, and the finish you want to achieve. These details usually narrow the practical options quickly.
