Hi,
Any advice appreciated on how I should finish the inside of the front door.
Plan is to put coir matting down but not sure what to put between the bottom of the door and the matting.
thanks

Do you mean matting like a fitted carpet or just a single mat. Is that black strip at the base of the door convex or concave, can't tell from the pick

Hopefully this helps. Want to fit matting as per second photo

It looks like a bit of a c@ck up

but just trim over it

one bit of 16mm x 16mm timber onto the flooring then another bit flat strip timber say 20 x 10 over it and butted up to the back of the door cill

a carpenter would just make up single piece with a rebate
 
exactly that (y)

the bigger piece can be screwed with some 3.5mm x 30mm csk screws

the top bit could be fitted with some super glue and activator, or pins or small screws and fill the holes.

I would put a chamfer on the top bit -with a sander or block plane etc

its not the most ideal solution, but I think its the easiest option for you which wont look too bad.


that bit of brickwork with dpm over it isnt really very clever -it shouldnt have been done that way, but hey it is what it is
 
Yeah I’m not quite sure what’s going on there. It looks like it’s had insulation added on top of the concrete floor and the DPM added at the same time.
