Precision Tile Work Meets a Doorway Dilemma
This video showcases a peculiar instance of home renovation where floor tiles have been meticulously cut to follow the arc of a swinging door. Rather than trimming the bottom of the door to clear the floor, the installer opted to cut the tiles into a semi-circular shape around the door's path. The result is a highly specific, custom-fitted floor pattern that leaves a patch of exposed subfloor beneath the door's swing radius. The footage highlights the contrast between the high-effort tile cutting and the unconventional final result, leaving viewers to debate the logic behind the installation choices.
Just cut the door.
East Europe, probably ex soviet block, probably a hospital.
They are correct. You can clearly see it in the lines of the building's floor plan.
That's not easy.
Romania?
I can only imagine the time it took the guy to cut all of these tiles, and with the angles and so on…
I know a guy who can do it cheaper.
Do you blame the guy who laid the tile or the guy who hung the door?
I don't know, looks right to me.
Could be much easier to cut the doors, but what do I know.
