Hi All,
I'm most of the way through replacing an existing conservatory and thinking about putting an engineered wood floor down.
I don't have any restrictions on the floor height, so was going to put a vapour barrier then 18mm plywood down on top of the existing sound tiles/concrete floor. I'd then secret nail the wood to the sub-floor.
I'm not sure though what is the best way to finish up at the existing door and in particular the door sill (as per photo below). My original thoughts were to try to cut back flush to where the door sits on the sill. A couple of challenges here - cutting neatly against the frame, the door frame will sit slightly higher than the finished floor level, so will need a moulding or something to bridge this gap (as well as the expansion.
Alternatively I could leave most of the sill in-situ and fit the floor around it but this may look naff.
Anyone have any view on standard practice here? Much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Damian
