1. When will the lintel be installed?
Generally, it is installed after the installation of floor tiles or floors is completed, mainly for an excessive and a separation function. The lintel should be installed before the wall is putty, and the installation time of balcony windowsill stone that does not involve wall putty can refer to the installation time of bedroom; Because the existing wall not only makes the installation difficult, so in order to make a better fitting effect, the lintel often moves a few knives on the wall, which will make the windowsill and lintel look more unified and beautiful after installation. In short, the sooner you install it, the better.
Second, what should I pay attention to when installing lintels?
1, the height of the stone?
It is suggested that the doorsill is slightly higher than the toilet floor by 5 ~ 10 mm, so as to slightly block the height of water flow, and at the same time, it is necessary to give consideration to aesthetics and reduce stumbling. Third, the door of the bathroom should have a high slope and less water.
Below, the lintel should not be more than 20 mm from the ground, which is similar to the above reason, giving consideration to beauty and convenience. Third, the thickness of standard stone is usually around 18 ~ 20.
If the height difference is too high, you can choose to customize the thickened stone. Pay attention to whether there are old people or people with mobility difficulties at home.
2, material selection
Stone corners are generally "chamfered", that is, grinding a bevel edge, but also for beauty and convenience. It is suggested that granite be used as stone material, which is harder than marble and resistant to trampling. If one side of the ground (usually the outdoor side of the bathroom) has a stone floor mosaic or a stone floor rim, you can also use similar or the same material, which is more beautiful. Common, solid and well-matched stones are Fengzhenhei, Jinan black and sesame gray.
3, installation considerations
When installing, the threshold is generally laid with cement mortar. After a certain period of trampling, cracks will appear in the surrounding cement mortar. Therefore, it is suggested that when laying with cement mortar, leave a gap on the ground side of the bathroom, which is roughly controlled at about 5 mm wide. After being filled with cement mortar, the surface will be slightly lower and sunken. Then make a circle with building glue or silica gel (the material for fixing sanitary ware). In this way, even if the cement mortar cracks and leaves the lintel, when there is water, it will not seep out from the gap.
It is taboo to divide the threshold into two equal parts, even if it can't be a whole piece, a good way is to divide it into three pieces. The method is to divide it into two halves first, and then divide the remaining half into two halves. When laying, half large pieces are in the middle and two small pieces are on both sides.
If you pay attention to the feng shui of doorstones, you can also choose colors according to your own destiny. For those who like gold but lack it, white and silver are more suitable; Green and cyan are suitable for people who like wood but lack wood life; Black and blue are suitable for people who like water but lack it. Red and orange are suitable for people who like fire but lack the fire of life; Yellow and brown are suitable for people who like soil but lack it.
The doorstone is durable and easy to take care of. It is suggested to use granite, which is harder than marble and resistant to trampling. What material is used for the doorstone mainly depends on its function. If you are particular about Feng Shui, you can also choose colors according to Feng Shui.
