My garage entry door swings out onto a slab (which is an entry way I wanted to dress up with tile to hile the concrete crack) There is only the clearance about the height of aluminum threshold approx.
1/2" . Too bad when I installed the door I forgot about the tiles I wanted to install.I put a piece of tile to test and the sweeper of the door scrapes it a bit but still operable (not considering the thinset yet) I think I will have to remove the sweeper. It would be nice to have some kind of sealing at the bottom of the door, but it's only a garage door.
Is there any way to gain the clearance or minimize the thickness of tiles installation..? Can a masonary grinding wheel be used to remove slight amount of material in the door swing area? The area is covered so there is no standing water.
I do not want to re-hang the door or convert to in-swing door. Maybe a concrete stain or patio paint with the appropiate patch to seal the crack is a better solution?
Thanks in advance.
