Threshold boards
Excuse the sapilli doors... Has anyone ever seen these wooden monstrosities before? I want to remove them all but am concerned about the flooring gap it will leave. Will I also need to replace the door stops too?

Re: Threshold boards
Yes, I am removing mine, had done a couple already, they are nailed to the floorboards and go under the door jambs generally. Best thing to do is if you have a multicutter, cut through the middle then pull each part up separately. Your issue is that you are going to leave a pretty big gap! normal door thresholds are alot thinner so it's the sort of thing you remove before laying carpet and the carpet fits up to the silver/gold style threshold.mole81 wrote:Excuse the sapilli doors...

Re: Threshold boards
The new carpet on the right will sit under door jumb to hide the gap, if a little gap shows its not the end of the worldmole81 wrote:Sorry for all questions..
