What's so special about the doorstone?

1, each lintel should not be laid in two equal parts, that is, the lintel has a single seam in the middle of the room.

2. If the whole stone width can't be laid, it's better to divide it into three, that is, divide it into two halves first, and then divide the remaining half into two halves. When laying, two small strips are on both sides and half large strips are in the middle.

3. If the lintel cannot be laid as a whole, it must be divided into two halves, nor can it be laid separately, and it must be laid in two unequal parts.

Lintel installation mode

Door stone installation requirements: Generally speaking, door stones need to be installed at the door of households, bathrooms and kitchens, and the height of the door stones should be higher than the ground. If one side of the lintel is a floor tile and the other side is a solid wood floor, a gap of 4-5 mm should be left between the marble lintel and the ground and bridged with wooden buckles.

Installation technology of lintel: measure the beam size in advance, cut the stone, and lay it together when laying bricks. Cement mortar is usually used to pave the lintel, and the width of the lintel is the same as that of the doorway.

Precautions for lintel installation: After a period of trampling, cracks sometimes appear in the cement mortar around the lintel. Especially the doorstone in the bathroom.

Therefore, it is suggested that when laying with cement mortar, a gap should be left on the ground in the bathroom, which is roughly controlled at about 5 mm After being filled with cement mortar, a circle of building glue or silicone glue is needed, so that even if the cement mortar cracks and leaves the lintel, water will not seep from the gap.
