    Default finishing in doorway

    Hi tilers
    I'm tiling the hallway. The rooms off it are carpeted but not finished in the doorways – the carpeter left a 'tongue' sticking into hallway to be finished when the hall was tiled. My question: in order not to see the door bar when the door is shut where do I finish the tiles? At the door stop or right under the door?

    I prefer to finish halfway across the threshold with a square edge trim so the carpet can but up to it......
