Could I fill with expanding foam, and then screed over the top? Because the bi-fold door frame over laps the cavity, it will be difficult to get some PIR insulation board down the cavity gap.

So I’ve now removed the threshold board, and I agree it would look much better to laminate all the way up to the door. I would like do go down this route now and do away with the threshold board. However I’ve got Ethernet cables running in the cavity so I can’t fill it with concrete, and it’s...
