Why do you have to pave threshold stones for home improvement?

1. Easy to close.

In decoration, different decorative materials are often used on the floor of different spaces. If the threshold stone is not used, it will increase the difficulty of construction and make it inconvenient to close. In addition, the visual transition between the two materials will appear stiff and unnatural.

2. Correct the height difference.

The materials used in the ground decoration are different, and if this problem is not considered during construction, there will often be different ground heights in the two spaces. In this case, using a sill stone to make a slope or chamfer can solve the problem of this height difference.

3. Water repellency and waterproofing.

The water-retaining effect of the sill stone is mainly manifested in the kitchen and bathroom space. Generally speaking, the height of the kitchen and bathroom floor is lower than that of other spaces to prevent water from flowing outside. It can have a certain anti-overflow effect on the water in the bathroom.

4. Save costs.

When laying floor tiles or floors, it is common to choose a starting point for different spaces to be laid, and then when the tiles on both sides converge at the junction of the space, it is likely that the bricks will be cut around the room. This increases the wear and tear of the tiles, and the labor cost will be higher. The threshold stone can easily solve this problem.

The sill stone solves the height difference.

The height of the floor of the two connected rooms is different, for example, the living room or the corridor floor is covered with laminate flooring, which is about 12 15 mm thick (8 mm thick floor + 5 mm thick floor mat), while the bathroom floor is tiled, with cement mortar thickness + tile thickness + slope finding thickness of ground running water, etc., which is much higher than the floor floor after completion. If the comprehensive adjustment is too labor-intensive and costly, the threshold stone can be used to solve the problem in the construction. It is important to note that:

In this case, the sill stone used on the side with a low ground height needs to be chamfered, which can be made into an oblique angle or a rounded corner. Chamfering is to grind a beveled edge.

Usually, it is recommended that the threshold stone is slightly higher than the bathroom floor 5 10 mm, slightly blocking the height of the water flow, one is beautiful, the other is as little stumbling as possible under the feet, and the third is that the bathroom door is to find a high point of slope, and the water storage should be very small. On the low side, the threshold stone should not be more than 20 mm above the ground, which is similar to the above reason, and because the thickness of the standard stone is usually about 18 20, the height difference is too high, and the thickened stone can be customized.

The sill stone can prevent moisture and water.

If the floor is paved in the room, the adjacent room is paved with floor tiles, and the room paved with floor tiles is a bathroom or kitchen, and water is often used, then the threshold stone can play a role in preventing moisture at the door, and the threshold stone can prevent the water of the bathroom or kitchen from soaking into the side of the floor, which can effectively prevent the floor from deforming and arching. If the floor of the bathroom and kitchen does not use the threshold stone, the ground will be lowered, forming a height difference with the adjacent room, which is visually unsightly and not very convenient in life.

The most commonly used area of the sill stone is under the door opening between the two spaces, which can make the ground pavement of the two spaces play a certain transitional role, and it is also a very convenient decoration closing profile, in a sense it also plays a certain role in space division.

The main function of the railing stone is the division of areas. Moreover, it has a certain decorative effect, and it also has a certain custom.

The threshold stone can be conducive to aesthetics, water retention and other functions.

The sill stone is used to connect the room, which can separate the area and make the whole more natural and beautiful, and the dark brick of Ge Shiqi ceramics can be used as the sill stone, which I think is very beautiful and durable.

In ancient China, threshold stones were common in every household. The reason for designing the threshold stone is that all of us think that with it, the family's financial luck will get better and better, and the threshold stone can bring prosperity to the whole family. The higher the threshold stone design, the better, which means that the more good fortune you have.

But now as the design of houses becomes more and more modern, many people's homes do not have this design, so, do you have to make a threshold stone when decorating a house?

1. Visual transition.

As a transitional link between two different materials, the sill stone can improve the aesthetics of the house to a certain extent.

The bedroom is paved with wooden floors, the living room is paved with tiles, and the position of the two splicing is connected by sill stones, so that the construction is simple and the visual transition is natural and comfortable.

2. Effective water retention.

In addition to the transitional function, the threshold stone of the bathroom, kitchen and balcony is also used as a water retaining strip to prevent overflow and infiltration in dry and wet areas.

If you feel that the threshold stone is not enough to block water, you can make another water-stopping barrier to play a double role to prevent water from penetrating under the threshold stone.

3. Correct the height difference.

It is easy to have a high and a low phenomenon between the two spaces where the floor and the tile are paved, and the sill stone is used to make a slope or chamfer to smooth the ground and solve the problem of height difference.

Compared with places like the bathroom, which have waterproof needs, other spaces do not have such a large demand for waterproofing, and generally only the transitional function of the door stone is used. If there is something else that replaces the transitional function of the doorstone, you can try to discard the doorstone. It is also possible to use tiles.

In addition, the docking between the wooden floor and the tile, in addition to the use of door stones, can also be used to make a transition.

In the general room, there is actually no big problem with abandoning the door stone, because the door stone plays a transitional function, and you can completely replace it with other things. Even, if you don't care about the appearance, it's okay for the tiles to be directly staggered together.

It is mainly used to distinguish and connect the inside and outside of the room.

The door stone is also known as the threshold stone, which can be used to separate the area between the various rooms and the living room connection, so that the whole is more natural and beautiful, and the dark brick of Rongwang tile can be used as the threshold stone, which is beautiful and durable.

When decorating, we will use a variety of modeling materials, some of which we often see but can't name. Today we are going to take a look at this decoration material, find out what it does, and whether it needs to be installed in the home. Friends who are ready to decorate can refer to it to see if the new home needs to be installed and how to better install the threshold stone.

A sill stone is a type of wooden floor or tile that is laid between the kitchen and the living room, or between the living room and the bathroom. It plays the role of dividing different areas in the room and different ground decoration materials. The material of the sill stone is generally natural marble or flower rock columns.

Natural marble has better hardness and much better anti-slip properties than ceramic tiles. Its grain is naturally formed, which is much more natural and beautiful than artificial marble. Generally, when we choose, we often use black and dark brown marble.

These two colors give a strong visual impression and can play a good role in partitioning.

Although the sill stone occupies a small area, it has a great effect, and sometimes the flooring materials used in different areas are completely inconsistent when decorating the floor, and the two materials cannot be closed to each other. At this time, the threshold stone can be used to play a transitional role. For example, our kitchen is non-slip tiles and the living room has wooden floors.

If there is no transition between the interface between these two materials, it can greatly affect the aesthetics. In addition to the transition effect, it is also possible to solve the problem of two different areas with different ground planes. Sometimes we use different materials in the renovation, which will result in different ground heights at the junction of the two areas.

At this time, you can use it to solve this problem, put it in a relatively low place, and make an inclined plane or rounded corner near the ground, which can solve the problem of uneven ground.

Since the threshold stone has so many functions, every family needs to install it, in fact, not every family needs to install barriers. Only when the flooring material used in the two areas is too different to be closed, can we use it to act as a seal. If the floor material used in the room is the same and there is no closure problem, we can do without installation.

There are two areas of the room with different floor heights. We need to use it to solve this problem as well. If the ground is flat, there is no need to install it.

It has a moisture-proof effect and prevents the floor from arching. The sill stones used in the kitchen and bathroom are also effective in preventing the outflow of sewage. If the renovation does not use threshold stones, the floors in the kitchen and bathroom need to be lowered to avoid sewage outflow.

This will produce a height difference with other spaces, which is very good-looking, easy to affect the convenience of life, and it is even more inconvenient to have elderly and children at home.

Ground leveling is one of the functions of the sill stone, and it often happens that the ground height of the two spaces is slightly different in decoration, such as one or two centimeters higher or lower. It will be troublesome to readjust at this time. The best solution is to use a threshold stone.

However, it is necessary to pay attention to the methods and skills of installing the threshold stone. As a closure of two materials. To give a simple example, such as the general lighting floor tiles in the kitchen, the flooring that may be used in the outside space, etc.

Therefore, at this time, the threshold stone is needed as the flooring material for the kitchen and the outside world. This creates a transition between the two materials and will look more natural.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of stone is used to connect different materials or different colors, and now many homes will be used in decoration, followed by the fact that it can also play a role in blocking water to prevent water from flowing outside the door, and the bathroom door generally needs to be installed with this kind of stone. Finally, it can also adjust the height difference between the two sides.

First of all, in order to separate two different areas, and also to achieve the effect of closing, each area can also be well planned, and it feels very designed.

It can play a decorative role, and it can also play a protective effect, it can adjust the unevenness of the ground, and if there is too much water in the home, it can also prevent the water from flowing outside, so it is more independent.

Threshold stone material selection.

1. There are many types of sill stones on the market, including natural stone, artificial stone, non-slip tiles and so on. In terms of material performance, the best is natural stone, which has high hardness, strong wear resistance, and excellent waterproof and anti-slip ability. The hardness is granite, but its pattern and color are relatively dark, so many people choose marble, which is high-grade and atmospheric.

2. When choosing a threshold stone, we should also consider aesthetics, try to choose a similar color to the tile, so as to avoid too much contrast in the color of the pattern, which is very incongruous. For those used in the kitchen and bathroom doors, it is necessary to pay attention to non-slip resistance.

Precautions for the installation of sill stones.

1.If there is no drop between the floor of the bathroom and kitchen and the outside room, then the threshold stone should be too high about two centimeters when installing the threshold stone, so that the height can play a role.

2.If the floor tiles are used in both rooms, whether the door of the room is installed with a threshold stone depends on the belt of the room. Both rooms are not large in size, and for the sake of harmony, it is best to disturb the threshold stone.

However, if the difference in area size is relatively large, it is better to use threshold stone to distinguish the space and decorative. Especially between the living room and the bedroom, the functionality is clear, and it is better to make a distinction.

3.The sill stone has the function of closing, but if the materials used on both sides of the room are different, different closing methods should be used.

The sill stone is free to install, it is not necessary, but it will be better if it is installed.

The function of the threshold stone is mainly to lay the floor in the two rooms with different materials, and can not be used as a closing of the two materials when they cannot close each other, and can also be used for laying in the kitchen, bathroom floor and living room, or refers to the wooden floor of the room, as well as the tiles of the living room.

If the home is a wooden floor or laminate floor, you can use a threshold stone when closing the mouth, after all, the threshold stone can effectively prevent the ground from arching, and it is also waterproof and moisture-proof.

The threshold stone is to play the role of waterproofing and adjusting the visual feeling, although it is a relatively inconspicuous part, but the decoration can play the role of the finishing touch, so where do you need to pave the threshold stone at home? What is the best stone to use for sill stone? Let's learn about the materials of the threshold stone!

1. Bathroom threshold stone.

The bathroom is generally damp, and the drainage of the ground in some homes is not good or does not do dry and wet separation, so the water on the ground is easy to spread to the outside along the door. At this time, we pave a threshold stone slightly higher than the floor of the bathroom, so that it can play a certain role in retaining water.

2. Balcony sill stone.

The balcony has a large connection with the outdoor space, especially in the south, there are more rainstorms, and the balcony is easy to rain in, so it is necessary to add a threshold stone at the balcony door to block the water.

3. Space connections.

Since the bedroom is connected to the living room and corridor, and the kitchen is connected to the dining room or living room, a threshold stone is usually paved at the door in order to divide the space.

What is the best stone to use for sill stone?

In fact, there are many materials that can be used to make threshold stones, such as: artificial stone, natural stone, and ceramic tiles.

It is recommended to use natural stone, and the thickness and hardness of artificial stone cannot meet the requirements.

There are two common natural frontal stones used as sill stones, marble and granite.

1. Granite.

Granite does not have a colored stripe texture, only a colored dot texture or a solid color texture.

2. Marble.

The mineral composition of marble is simple and easy to process, with a delicate texture and good visual effect. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be damaged by hard and heavy objects, and the light-colored texture is not strong in stain resistance.

To sum up, wear-resistant and hard granite is suitable for pragmatists, and marble with delicate texture and rich colors is suitable for beauty experts.

Where do you need to lay a threshold stone at home? What is the best stone to use for sill stone? The above is the relevant content of the introduction, you can use it as a reference, such as the ridge to choose the threshold stone that is consistent with the color of the door, of course, we should also consider the overall harmony and size of these issues, the practical and beautiful threshold stone is better.
