How to match the threshold stone to look good?

Xiao Bai, who has just finished decorating, may not know what a threshold stone is, which is what we often say.

This thing is installed at the entrance of the junction of two rooms and plays a transitional role.

When is it necessary to install a threshold stone?

The living room is tiled and the dining room is the floor.

Not limited to the living room and dining room. The floors of two connected rooms are paved with different materials, which need to be connected by threshold stones, so it is easier to construct when the owner closes the door.

There is a height difference on the ground.

For example, cement mortar should be used for tile paving, which is different from the floor paving in reinforced floors. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the threshold stone and make a chamfer, fillet and bevel on the lower side of the floor.

moisture holding

This is a bathroom that must be installed from the beginning, especially the bathroom without dry and wet separation. Install a threshold stone above the ground at the door to prevent water from overflowing, preferably in the kitchen and balcony.

Why did the master suggest doing this?

Because the operation is more convenient, the bricklayer does not need to calculate the brick joint, but specially designs the starting brick and cuts the concave brick at the door. There is no need to level the ground on both sides, which saves time and effort. For the owner, the cost of installing the threshold stone is also lower.

Why is the threshold stone so ugly?

Not all threshold stones are ugly, what you see is ugly. Today is mainly to tell you how to pretend not to be ugly.

Material selection

The threshold stones are mainly stone and ceramic tiles. Stones include natural marble, artificial stone and granite, and tiles include colored bricks and mosaics.

If you want to have lively colors in your home, use colored bricks or mosaics, mostly light colors, suitable for American or Mediterranean styles, with tan floor tiles.

If you want to be simple and generous, use stones. The hardness of granite belongs to medium hardness in stone, which is relatively high and very wear-resistant, but it is not easy to process. Marble is a kind of soft stone, which is softer than granite and has poor wear resistance, but it is easy to process and is the most used one.

There is also artificial stone, which is not as good as natural stone in hardness and wear resistance, but the price is the best.

Color matching/coordination

Besides material selection, color is also very important. I once met a modern minimalist owner at home, but I wanted a piece of red granite as a threshold stone, saying that it was requested by my parents, and red was auspicious to ward off evil spirits. Fortunately, I was finally persuaded by the designer?

At present, the colors of the threshold stone are mainly black gold flower, black gold sand, black and white root, silvery white dragon, deep coffee net, shallow coffee net, purple Luo red, Indian red, desert rose and so on. The specific color system should be selected according to the overall decoration style of your home.

black

The black threshold stone is the most commonly used, and you can't make mistakes if you are versatile. Can match most colors, not dirty.

White series

If the overall decoration of your home is light and black is too abrupt, then white is also a good choice, and beige or light brown is also easy to match.

Same color as the floor.

Reducing the existence of threshold stones, with the same color as the surrounding environment, can reduce the sense of disobedience. But be careful not to choose the threshold stone with the same color system but color difference, which will not only hide you, but also appear out of place.

Same color as door cover or door.

And can be combined with a door.

Non-threshold stone alternative scheme

The living room, bedroom, dining room and other rooms are not equipped with threshold stones. What should be used instead? There are four options?

buckle

The buckle is used to close the gap between the tile and the floor. It is flat and inclined, suitable for floors of different heights, and there are many choices of colors and materials.
