Why do you need a threshold stone for interior decoration? ---Olibao Art Paint

In the renovation process of many new houses, there is a marble under each doorway, and its color is different from that of other tiles. This is the threshold stone, as shown below: ---Olibao Art Paint

The paving price of threshold stone is not low. Because the price of stone used is very high; on the other hand, additional fees are required for paving. So someone asked: Why do you want to install a threshold stone? Do you need to install under all doors?

Today, Xiaoha will give you a detailed explanation of the 4 functions of the threshold stone. If you are interested, remember to collect it!

One: visual partition

The first is the visual effect. Like the waveguide line, the threshold stone can also play a visual soft separation effect. The ground is covered with unique stones, and different areas can be distinguished at a glance. ---Olibao Art Paint

Installation of threshold stone for living room balcony

Not just under the door, in some open spaces, threshold stones are often used as visual soft partitions. For example, in the overall design of the balcony and the living room, the balcony door is no longer installed, but the threshold stone for the balcony door still exists.

Two: waterproof

Commonly used locations for threshold stones are bathrooms, kitchens, and balcony doors. Its main function is: waterproof. Take the bathroom as an example. After the bathroom is used, water often accumulates on the ground, and the bathroom floor is relatively low, and the side of the tile attached to the bathroom door will be directly exposed. When the stagnant water hits the side of the tile at the door, it will seep into the tile, then through the tile, spread to the wall outside the bathroom door. ---Olibao Art Paint

Install threshold stone at bathroom entrance

However, if a threshold stone is laid at the entrance of the bathroom, its sides will not absorb water, so that all the accumulated water can be blocked inside the bathroom. (Of course, waterproofing works should be done under the threshold stone in advance to prevent water from seeping into the cement under the threshold stone.) Similarly, if there is water on the floor of the kitchen and balcony, it must be installed at the entrance of the kitchen and balcony Threshold stone.

Three: closing

The edge of the wooden floor is the most vulnerable because the bottom is empty and there is no other floor support next to it. When the edge is left on the wall, it can be ignored, because the chance of being trampled by people here is very small, and there is almost no weight bearing. ---Olibao Art Paint

But sometimes, this edge will appear at the door. For example, the floor is in the bedroom, and the exterior of the bedroom is ceramic tiles. At this time, the edge of the floor remained on the bedroom door. Stepping on the floor by people coming and going can pose a huge challenge.

At this time, we must find a way of buffering, the so-called "closing". One way to close the mouth is to install a threshold stone. Because the threshold stone can be stuffed under the wooden floor to help the floor bear weight.

Four: tile free of seam

Someone said: I have tiles inside and outside my bedroom. I don’t need closing or waterproofing, and no visual partitioning. Why should I install the threshold stone? From the worker's point of view: this is easier to construct. ---Olibao Art Paint

If there is no threshold stone, the tile joints of the entire room must be aligned, otherwise it will appear messy. To align the tile gaps, you need to calculate the position of each tile in advance. In this case, many tile cutting problems will be involved in the paving process. Therefore, the worker master will tell the owner: After the threshold stone is installed, there will be a lot of tiles left.

This is indeed the case, but saving materials does not mean saving money. Because the cost of ceramic tiles is saved, but buying and paving threshold stones is another expense. In contrast, even if you save money, you won't save much. ---Olibao Art Paint
