Increasing front door clearance for tiling

[David]

We want to tile our hall but the way its been built there is only 10mm clearance under the front door which is not going to be enough for ceramic tiles, I could trim a bit more off the bottom of the door but this is not going to leave a lot of meat to cover the metal weather bar. I am considering insetting a door mat area large enough for the door to open but am not particularly keen on a step (albeit a small one) onto the tiles, anyone had a similar problem? any ideas?

TIA

Use rising butt hinges on the door (eg )

You could slope the mat area if it covered the whole width. A little latex flooring screed would do it.

Continue the tiles over the threshold so the weather strip is raised by the thickness of the tiles?
