Floor To High

[Pompey61]

Tiling a small porch tommorow, problem is the foor is to high to accomodate the 10mm marble tiles. I need to drop 5mm below the door bar. The front door has a metal sheet running through it and it cannot be trimmed. What methods can I use to lower the concrete floor 5mm? I was thinking may'be score the area into small squares 5mm deep with my grinder (marcrist blade) then bolster chisel out and finally PVA seal it? ( Simular to chiseling out a recess for a door hinge) Any thoughts?

All help very much appreciated

sounds like alot of hard work pompey mate, is possible to lower the way you intend but jesus alot of graft and dust, would custmer not go for ceramic look alike ( marble ). any way good luck ...

I love graft and dust it pays well. As long as the method works Cheers fella!

lot of work you may need more than 1 grinder I would hire a stilsaw and buy 3 or 4 blades (when they get hot there u/s) hope its paying well?

I'd raise the front door by 5mm, it would be far quicker I think. I suppose depending on how big the floor is?)

if its a double glazed door you might be able to raise the door like dan as said

You could if door won't budge, Kango the concrete up,bed 6mm backer board down into pourable thick bed adhesive, then tile.Hope this helps Stace!:wink_smile:

Just to let you know lads I cracked it today segmented it with my grinder squares came up like a dream. couple of messy area's around the edges but PVA'd them and tidied them up with a bit of rapid set.
Thanks for all replies
