The threshold is actually a common design in life. It is located at the connection between two spaces. It is ordinary, but it plays a big role in life. In life, kitchens and toilets are spaces that are often exposed to water. In particular, toilets may only be dried when people are not at home. The main function of designing the threshold stone here is to block water and prevent it from penetrating into the floor and becoming moldy or arched. ?
Of course, waterproof the sides and underside of the threshold stone. Otherwise, water will seep into the floor. Toilets without dry and wet separation must require threshold stones. When performing wet and dry separation, please choose whether to set it according to the situation. Different materials have a certain level difference during the laying and pasting process, so instead of spending so much manpower and energy to level the two spaces, it is easier and cheaper to modify them directly with threshold stones. Generally speaking, the choice of floor material cannot unify a space. For example, the floor in the bedroom is very comfortable. If you choose floor tiles for maintenance in the kitchen, it is difficult to choose floor tiles in the living room. When the ground materials of the two spaces are different, threshold stones can be used to transfer them to distinguish the spaces. The material of threshold stone is mainly divided into two parts: Ceramic tiles: As everyone knows, ceramic tiles are a well-known material, and the most commonly used materials are walls, floors, and skirting lines. The price is affordable, just cut the tiles into appropriate sizes and lay them. Stone: Compared with ceramic tiles, stone is more expensive. Marble, artificial stone, granite, etc. are commonly used materials for threshold stones. If you pursue texture, it will become marble or artificial stone. If you want something more wear-resistant, choose granite. However, the thickness of the stone must be more than 1.4 cm. Otherwise it will break easily.
2. Color: The color of the threshold stone is actually very good. Choose solid color or natural pattern stone, these methods are for reference only.
The same color as the door frame: what is the color of your door frame, what is the color of the threshold stone, white plus white, black plus black, the integrity is stronger.
Same color as the ground: Choose according to the color of the ground. If it is a dark color, the threshold stone should also be made of a dark color. It doesn't matter if it's a little deeper or a little shallower. Use this color to weaken the presence of the threshold stone and make it look less obtrusive.
White: If there are many white objects around or the walls are white, you can choose white threshold stones to match the environment.
3. Notes on threshold stones: The size of the threshold stone must be determined according to the size of the door opening. The length can be the same as the width of the door opening, and the width can be the same as the wall thickness of the door opening. The threshold stone in the space outside the bathroom should be as smooth as possible with the ground to avoid accidentally tripping. When measuring the size of your door opening when making a custom door, remember to subtract the thickness of the sill stone to avoid improper sizing later.
Substitutes for threshold stones: Spaces that require thresholds include doors, kitchens, toilets, bedrooms, balconies, etc. The space outside the toilet can be paved with threshold stones according to needs. If it is not paved, you can use the following methods instead.
1. Press and hold the sidebar: If waterproofing is not considered, you can also use pressure strips to close the mouth. Cover the gap between the two materials and increase the beauty of the space. It is more suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, entrance halls and other places that are not exposed to water.
2. Copper strip: The appearance and function are similar to the edge pressing, but it is slightly better in terms of decorative effect.
3. Mail order store: suitable for situations where multiple spaces have the same ground material. ?
