Do I have to use a threshold stone?

Regarding whether it is necessary to install threshold stones, let's first find out what the function of threshold stones is.

1, divided into regions

2. Transition of two materials.

3. Simplify the difficulty of construction technology

4, 2 cm high and low gap convergent

5, moistureproof, waterproof

6, beautiful, etc

There is basically the same opinion on the handover of materials, high-low connection, moistureproof and waterproof, but there is a big dispute about the division of areas. Some people think it's good, others think it's not good. Let's analyze it.

The use of threshold stone is related to domain division.

This role depends on whether it is necessary to divide the space, which varies from house type to house type, and cannot be covered by one cover.

A house of tens of square meters is small, of course you don't want to divide it, because the tofu blocks are so big, the smaller the points. At this time, it is best that there is no boundary between regions. Together, it looks very big, so the threshold stone does not need to be paved. Try to use the same material between different spaces, which is more continuous and the space looks bigger.

But for a house of several hundred square meters, there is no threshold stone division, no mosaic on the ground, no carpet and other decorations, which may lead to a sense of space and the effect is not good.

If the lower part of the door is paved with ceramic tiles, that is, the position of the threshold stone, it is often impossible to pave all the bricks in a small area of the threshold stone because it needs to be sewn. Does this look too low? Would it be better to use a threshold stone?

In the design of villas and mansions, threshold stones are used to divide the space, which makes the space look more complete, and ensures that the patterns surrounded by decorative lines (wavy lines) on the ground are complete, making it look more beautiful and exquisite.

If the threshold stone is too abrupt, is it because there is something wrong with the choice of stone? The color difference between the threshold stone and the ground is too big, which is definitely not good-looking.

Of course, in some cases, it is not necessary to use a threshold stone for regional division, but a metal strip can be used, which will be thinner and more delicate. But I don't recommend using a raised blank holder, it's too ugly. A metal strip that is flush with the ground will look taller.

Moreover, not all styles will use threshold stones to divide areas. For example, modern styles are not used or are very obscure. The following color scheme will help you answer the question about 100 square meters of normal houses, where the threshold needs to be.

You can see the designer's intention from this color plan.

There is a difference between inside and outside the house, and a threshold stone is needed. The inside is high and the outside is low. If there is water on the outdoor ground, it can play a certain waterproof role.

Kitchen, dining room, living room, aisle, no threshold stone is to hope that the space looks bigger.

The floor material of the bedroom and the public area is different, so the threshold stone is used excessively, which plays an excessive sealing role.

Balcony, bathroom, such wet areas, in order to prevent sewage from flowing backwards, a height difference of 2 cm will be reserved on the floor. At this time, the threshold stone will be used to make the closing look better (because the threshold stone is generally made of marble, and the texture on the side of marble is as good as the surface, while the tile is only textured on the surface, and the adobe on the side is not good-looking). At the same time, it will protect the wooden door sleeve from being soaked in water and avoid root rot.
