What kind of stone should be used for decoration between the threshold stones?
How to choose the threshold stone?
Must choose natural stone, artificial stone thickness and hardness are not up to the requirements. Common natural stone as a threshold stone has two materials, marble and granite.
1. Marble
Advantages: The mineral composition is simple and the marble saw blade can be used, the texture is fine and the visual effect is good
Disadvantages: it is easy to be damaged by hard and heavy objects, and the light-colored texture is not strong against stains
2. Granite
The texture is hard, you can use the boreway brand granite welding process saw blade processing. There is no colored stripe texture, only colored dotted texture or solid color texture.
What is the use of threshold stones?
1. Visual transition The transitional connection between two different materials.
For example, the living room is covered with white bricks and the bedroom is covered with gray bricks. Under normal circumstances, the door of the bedroom will be connected with threshold stones, mainly because the closing construction is relatively simple.
2. Correct the height difference. The ground height of the two spaces is different.
For example, there is a height difference between the two spaces paved with the floor and the floor tiles. This problem is not considered in advance, or in order to save costs, a slope or chamfer of the threshold stone can solve this problem of height difference.
3. Good water retaining effect The water retaining effect of the threshold stone is mainly manifested in the kitchen and bathroom space. Generally speaking, the height of the kitchen and bathroom floor is lower than other spaces in order to prevent water from flowing outside.
It can have a certain anti-overflow effect on the water in the toilet. There is a problem when the kitchen and bathroom water volume is large, the water will penetrate from the side to the bottom of the room floor. There is no waterproofing in the room. The floor tiles only have a smooth glaze on the front. The water permeating through the side of the floor tiles will make the floor moldy and warp or even return water to the floor.
Solution The threshold stone has been waterproofed on both the front and the sides, which can effectively protect the exposed sides of the floor tiles at the junction of the door and play a role of anti-permeation and water blocking.
Wear-resistant, hard-textured granite is suitable for pragmatists
Marbles with fine texture and rich colors are suitable for estheticians.
