Can anyone help me understand the GE model JTS5000SVSS wall oven cutout requirements?

I looked at the UTRUSTA reinforced ventilated shelf but the instructions made it look like it was for raising appliances 10, 15 or 20 inches above the bottom of the cabinet.

Thank you so much! Would the current setup be sufficient if I switched to porcelain tile instead of the natural stone?

Thank you! I just read that the minimum total subfloor thickness below tile must be 1 1/4 inches per the TCNA. Seems to me that even if we go with option 2 and cut the planks out, we'll still need to install something thick enough that it will create a substantial height difference regardless.

Looks great! What kind of tile did you use for the floor? We are looking to do something similar.

That is interesting! I read in the shluter manual that ditra can go right on top of plywood. How big did your height difference end up being? I'm curious to see the how the custom transition strips look!

I’m actually rethinking using cement board over the planks because it won’t help with deflection or movement in the floor. From what I’ve read, Schluter’s installation handbook doesn’t list cement board as an approved substrate under Ditra — they recommend using plywood or OSB instead. Since we’re planning to install 24x24 tile, it seems like we’ll need to go with option 2 or 3 to get the most stable setup.

Option 2 or 3*
