Hi Team,
I'm after some advice around an externally facing door / threshold for a garage conversion.
The garage is brick, and we've added a frame / plastered inside / installed laminate flooring.
Here's the (old) door in question.
At the bottom of this picture, you'll see the (black) vapor barrier under the laminate
The door is currently mounted in-line with the brick and given the hinge placement, as you'd imagine, the door can't open 'all the way' as it'd eventually meet the frame.
So essentially, I have 2 questions:
1. How do people resolve this depth issue?
2. What's the best way to have the laminate come up to the door? (or, alternatively, bring the door closer to the laminate)
My thoughts were:
For 1. Use an offset hinge such-as:

So I can leave the door where it is and have the frame cover the extra depth.
For 2. A door seal which includes a floor-mounted threshold such-as:

This way, I can cut a laminate board to cover that extra bit of concrete in the doorway, and have the end of the laminate 'hide' under the threshold - as someone suggests in the reviews of that product.
Thanks for reading! Any ideas welcome 🙂
