For materials with different connection heights, such as high floors and low tiles, or because one space is high and one space is low because of the apartment type, lintels can be used for connection at this time.

At present, most homes are paved with 8080 large floor tiles. Generally, the owner will choose a starting point in the living room and bedroom for paving, and then when the tiles on both sides gather at the door of the bedroom, they are likely to cut bricks around the room. This will increase the wear and tear of tiles and the labor cost will be higher. Experienced masters will suggest that if you add a doorsill and set a new starting point, it will not only facilitate the construction, but also reduce the loss, and the beauty and integrity will be better.
