I think you'd be better off with a standard hinged door, and just undercut it. AS for the transition, take a piece of wood to match the bedroom floor, and have it milled to be the thickness of the height of the bathroom floor over the bedroom floor, and then bevel it down from that height down to nothing.

Thanks Bill, for your info on the flooring. You don't like the sliding door thing? There are a couple of problem areas with respect to the swinging, we also considered a pocket door too but I am not a huge fan of those.

We had a height difference and used a stone threshold cut to a "Hollywood" profile to step down the difference.

Ours was about 3/4" difference when all was said and done. This bevel worked nicely. We have an ordinary hinged door.

Thanks pepper, did you have carpet next to this bevel around the bevel how does that work? Thanks for the link!

jjaazzy-- The reason I don't like it is because of the height difference. sliding doors, as a rule, usually can't be undercut to account for the raise in elevation of the bathroom floor. This would mean structural work to raise the header for the door. With a normal swinging bathroom door, you can usually undercut as much as an inch or a little more without ruining the integrity of the door, meaning no structural work needed.

OH ok Bill I understand. These doors would actually slide on the exterior wall. The company makes them custom so I don't think that will be an issue here. I don't have a price yet so I just might be on fantasy island. Thanks again for all your expert advice.

We go from tile to wood floor. The concept is the same as wood- basically just a smooth transition.

Without knowing the "correct" way, if I were transitioning to carpet, I would make the height of the carpet pile just about the height of the beveled side, or just above it, depending on how cushy the carpet is.

I haven't seen a wooden one, I have always lived/had a stone threshhold to wood floor, but Bill obviously does this all the time...

Thanks all, well see what happens.

I have shimmed the area in front of the door to reduce the transition. Install a 1" strip of half inch plywood in front of the tile and use that as screed to feather a transition. Use fixall feathered out 18-24", install carpet, and you will never notice it unless using a very thin carpet. It is amazing what carpet can hide.

Thanks for jumping in Zinnah that sounds like a good plan. I hope we don't loose all our notes and stuff with the troubles they are having on the site. Wonder if i need to start printing things out. Thanks again!
