Hey gang.. I need to remove carpet from the bathroom (dont ask why :whistling2:).. I plan to replace with tile. Carpet will remain in the hallway and I am unsure where the tile should terminate at the doorway. Any suggestions would help..

Thanks,
Jerid

ALL carpet, tile or any other type of flooring should end in the middle of the doorway. That means that from inside the room you cannot see what is on the other side and same for hall or other room. I laid floors for 8 years so I do know what I am talking about.

Best to undercut the doorjamb and tuck the tile under.

You'll probably have to peel the carpet back and undercut the whole casing as it's difficult to just undercut part of it.

The carpet should tuck back just fine.

Tuck the carpet to the tile to finish it off.

I usually start laying bathrooms with a whole tile centered in the doorway; the "start at the center" rule be damned.
