Just be sure to allow for a threshold or thick carpeting before making these cuts.
Prehung door before or after finished floor.
There will almost certainly be trimming involved for other floors on the jamb and possibly the door too.
What i am looking to do is shim up the jamb to the desired height so that i will have 1 2 after carpet is installed and won t have to cut the doors.
On a professional job all the doors are hung first then cased.
Then the flooring installers come in and do their thing.
Check that the door will swing in the right direction after it s installed.
You can rent a saw that is special made for cutting door casings to allow tyle to go under.
I removed old wood walls and putt in new drywall and so now the door frame is off balance with the wall.
This is for timing.
But i also have to tile the floor.
Im only asking because if.
You should hang all doors and trim after dry wall.
After floors are in fenish with quarter round shoe molding.
Baseboard goes down then the 2nd coat of paint goes on.
Door first means the trimwork can be more complete while the crew is set up onsite.
Before the floors go in you can easily shim one end of the jamb to get the door exactly plumb.
Adjust the gap around the door and let the other side jam.
So i need to buy new prehung interior doors.
Wheni install prehung doors the jambs and door are crefully fitted to the final rough opening which includes the finished floor.
Best method for carpeted floors where minor variations won t show.
Then you should paint all trim and doors first then ceiling and walls.
Most builders leave the floors for last.
I set the prehung unit and then remove the door until after carpet.
The floors go in last.
Which project goest first.
By having all the doors and trim up first the painters can come in and spray everything out and get the first coat of color on the walls.
Also maybe others are more careful but i found it s hard not to ding the floor a little bit when doing doors afterwards.
I am gutting out the house and one project leads to another.
This clearance is set by trimming the ends of the hinge and latch jambs.
After floors this would be a huge pain to do since you would need to pull the door out and saw the jamb.
The clearance between the bottom of the door and the finish floor should be 3 8 inch or less.
