Tile and door hanging

I am about to tile the bathroom in my unfinished basement. Should I hang the doors first or wait until after I tile so the jamb will rest on the tiles. I am laying the tile on concrete slab and using a thinset mortar with 8 by 8 tiles. Rough opening of door is common height of 82". I will shim the jambs to keep them off the slab somewhat.

Any help appreciated.

Hi
If you lay the tile first, you won't have to cut around the door jams later....but it really doesnt matter.

Thanks

I would rather not cut a jamb unless necessary so I will tile it first and hang the door. Hung many a door but never layed any tile in my life. First for everything.

If you hang the door first you may find that you have to trim the door down later to clear the tile. I'd do the tile first but you can do it either way.

I am tileing my shower in my bathroom I had to start form scratch I put up all new 1/2" drywall the green stuff and then 1/4" Hardibacker over that. When I was screwing the backer board up I noticed that there was a stud missing at 16" on the to short walls. The area to be tiled is 3, wide there are studs at both ends but only one at 16" then its 20" to the next one. I was wondering if this will be a problem when I put the tile up I don't want it to sag and crack? If it is a problem I will have to unscrew the backer board and then unscrew the drywall and install the missing studs. Thanks ShannonRead More
