Hello,
in the final phase of the house, we then encounter the first "real" problem.
Our front door was installed not perpendicular to the walls, but simply aligned with the unplastered cast concrete lintel. Unfortunately, this only became apparent to us and the tiler during the measurement of the tiles.
The company takes the position that the whole house is basically crooked, which is not true. There was a screed edge placed perpendicular to the wall, with enough installation clearance, and our house entrance is recessed, giving the possibility to take measurements on the floor slab.
Neither during the measurement nor during the installation were there any complaints from the company.
Even if the lintel is not 100% straight, the door must be aligned with the walls or the screed edge or at least from the outside edge of the floor slab. The plasterer can correct an unplastered concrete lintel.
Best regards
Florian
