[quote author=john59  link=1123786176/0#0 date=1123786176]Hi all, At the moment I am erecting a concrete sectional garage onto the existing concrete garage floor. The purpose of the garage is not for the car but as a home cinama.  I know the proceedure regarding screeding and such to make the floor warm and level ready for the final covering (carpets) but I have a problem, the door that I am fitting is 81 inches tall (frame) and from the base of the garage to the top of the  wall plate that I will be putting on measures 82 and a half inches so I only have inch and a half for the screed and the carpet, are you with me so far. Apart from sand and cement screed is there any other method I could use to creat a warm sound floor.
Regards.

I read your post again. can you pull the header board at the top where the top of the frame will go and build a higher support so the door will fit, I had to do this when I added french doors to my bedroom after talking out a single door. I hope this is not confusing to you.

Oh I am soooo envious but welcome to the forum

I don't know about John's door situation but custom doors are expensive, or is it that factory made doors are so cheap ...yes.... definately the latter
