| How much room should be allowed for return air flow? The gap looks huge so I took a tape to it and the gap is 1 1/2 inches from the unfinished floor.
Our wood floors are only 1/2. When I questioned the GC he said that it's standard for air return. Looks bad already..what do we do ? |

| 1" seems quite excessive to me as well |

| I think you would have to check with your local codes regarding air return. I think some locations require 7/8-1''. Will you have any area rugs or runners that will be at the doorway or in the doorswing? |

| We talked to the carpenters today about the door heights. 1/2" is the average for everything. Our lower level doors will be set 1/2" off the concrete because we will eventually put a vinyl click floor down. |
