What is a threshold stone?
First of all, let's talk about what a doorstone is. Threshold stone is also called threshold stone. My understanding is that the threshold stone is the transition section of the adjacent indoor space. Functions include: 1) decorative function. Generally, the doorsill is a whole piece with natural lines, which can decorate the monotonous ground.
2) Divide indoor space, such as bedroom and main bathroom, bedroom and living room, kitchen and dining room, living room and bathroom.
3) Fill the height gap between inside and outside. If there is a gap between the materials or terrain laid in two spaces, you can find a beam. For example, the bedroom is paved with wooden floors and the living room is paved with floor tiles. Under normal circumstances, the floor is higher than the tiles, and this problem can be solved by crossing the threshold.
4) It can be used for blocking and waterproofing the toilet. For example, the main sleeper is attached to the wooden floor, and it is most afraid that the water in the main bathroom will overflow to damage the wooden floor. The lintel can first separate the water from the wooden floor so that they don't touch each other. And it can also be considered as creating a height difference to keep the water in the bathroom.
Therefore, friends who are going to decorate with wooden floors must not forget to use beams.
Types of doorstones
So what is the material of doorstones?
1) stone. Generally, stone materials are used as doorstones. You can ask the bricklayer to measure your size and order stone materials directly. After the merchant cuts you according to the size. Advantages: the doorstones are all one piece, and there is no splicing; Large thickness, natural wear resistance. At present, most people use seasonal stones (such as black sand), the thickness is about 1cm, and the price is 160 yuan/square. Marble is also useful, the thickness is about 2cm, and the price is slightly higher, which is basically in 220 yuan/square, and needs to be reinforced (the price is calculated separately).
2) tiles. You can also cut the floor tile into the size of a doorstone, and the price is actually similar to that of stone. But it needs to be spliced, and the thickness and aesthetics are poor.
