My daughter has a house where they installed some used French doors, 2x6 construction. The French Doors both have a metal sill that sticks into the room about 3" and is tapered down at an angle to about 5/8".
They have old Hardwood that they don't want to rip up in some areas because the subfloor is old 3/4" plank and they feel leaving the existing wood will add stability. They are going to install vinyl planking on top of it.
The question is, the 3/4" flooring is already higher than the low part of the metal sill. How do you handle this? Do we just make a wood filler to put on top of the sill, so that it matches the height of the hardwood, then the Vinyl can go right up to the door, or do I need to somehow replace the entire sill with one that doesn't have this metal inside?
