I. What is a threshold stone?
The doorstone is actually very common, which is the so-called threshold in ancient times, which is also the so-called threshold. In modern home, the lintel mainly plays the role of solving the height difference between two spaces, and has the function of blocking water and wind. The installation positions of lintels are mostly kitchen, living room, balcony and other environments decorated with different spaces. Due to the material practices of different rooms and different floor thicknesses, the height difference is caused, and some materials are not easy to "close their heads". It can play an excessive role in the joint of two different materials on the ground, and can be connected with each other but not so harmonious. For example, the bathroom is connected to the living room, and there is water in the bathroom, which will affect the living room. If there is a doorstone at this time, it will be easy to solve. Considering both practicality and decoration, it is a good indoor decoration material.
Second, where do you need to cross the threshold?
The lintel plays a role in solving the height difference between the inside and outside of the living room and blocking water, and also plays a transitional role at the junction of two different colors of materials. Generally installed in the kitchen, bathroom, balcony, such as the junction of living room and kitchen or balcony floor. Besides originality and decoration, the lintel also plays an important role in retaining water. Once the toilet is flooded, it can block some water and prevent it from flowing into the living room.
Third, material selection.
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. 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 cheap, strong and well-matched stones are Fengzhenhei (Inner Mongolia Black), Jinan black and sesame gray.
Fourth, the height difference.
The lintel mainly plays the role of beauty and water retaining. In the bathroom, the lintel is only 5~ 10 mm higher than the bathroom floor. First, for the sake of beauty, it is easy to bring inconvenience to people's daily life. The thickness of standard stone is usually 1.8 ~ 20 mm, and the lower side of lintel above the ground should not exceed 20 mm. If the height difference is too high, you can choose to customize the thickened stone.
Selection of door stone color
The main function of lintel is to divide the area and leave expansion joints for the floor, so we should pay attention to the role of color in color selection. Generally speaking, black and brown are better.
Six, stone feng shui
Since the threshold of geomantic omen in ancient China, the doorstone has been rising. At that time, it was mainly made of wood, and then it was dyed red with paint, which meant a good start. If you have an official at home, you can take a few coins at home, mainly seven, and if you do business at home, you can take eight. If someone in the family is sick or unlucky, you can press six. Coins are mainly five emperors' coins and gossip copper coins. One more thing, if it can't be a whole piece, it must be divided into two halves, so don't spread it in two halves separately. It must be laid in two unequal parts and offset seams.
What kind of stone is suitable for making doorstones?
1. granite. Granite is a kind of tectonic rock formed by volcanic lava rising to the surface of the earth's crust in a molten state under considerable pressure. Magma does not gush out from underground, but slowly cools and solidifies underground. It is a kind of deep acid igneous rock, belonging to magmatic rock. Granite is mainly composed of quartz, feldspar and mica. Among them, the content of feldspar is 40%-60%, and the timely content is 20%-40%, and its color depends on the type and quantity of components. This rock is hard and dense.

Marble is a commodity name, not a petrological definition. Marble is a kind of natural building decorative stone, which generally refers to metamorphic or non-metamorphic carbonate rock with decorative function, and can be processed into building stone or handicraft.
