In the traditional decoration process, it is generally installed with threshold stone between two spaces that can install doors. With the influence of modern people's decoration thinking and upgrading of decoration materials, the frequency of threshold stones has gradually decreased, and alternative solutions such as whole-house tiles, ceramic tiles + wooden floors have emerged. Threshold stones have also become an option of "whether to do it". So which method is better for threshold stones or whole-house tiles?
. Functions and benefits of threshold stone
Door stone is generally made of marble and is laid under the door opening between two spaces. It is generally in the bathroom, balcony and door. It is recommended to install threshold stone, because the function of threshold stone is to block water, light and sound insulation.
① Water barrier:
In bathrooms and balcony spaces with floor drains, it is generally recommended to install threshold stones. With the existence of threshold stones, there will be a height difference on the ground. When the floor drains in the bathroom or balcony are not drained enough and water accumulates on the ground, the height difference formed by the threshold stone can well block the accumulation of water and prevent the accumulation of water from jumping into other spaces.
② Light blocking and sound insulation:
For example, installing a door sill stone, on the one hand, it can prevent indoor light from being exposed through the gap under the door, and on the other hand, it can also increase sound insulation between the interior and the elevator aisle, making the indoor space more private.
. The benefits of whole-house laying
Whole-house laying is generally suitable for matching in the lobby-bedroom, hall-kitchen and other spaces. The floor decoration of the whole-house laying tiles will be more concise and generous, and there are many benefits.
① The ground is flat and well maintained
If there is a threshold stone, the ground on both sides is generally not at the same height, and it cannot be "like walking on flat ground" when sweeping and mopping the floor; while the ground with the whole house is spread on the same flat surface, it will be much easier and more convenient when repairing.
②Construction cost
threshold stone generally needs to be purchased separately, and the installation of plasterers also requires additional cost. The cost of building a whole house is lower than that of installing a threshold stone.
③Simple and generous sense of space
There is a threshold stone. The inside and outside of the threshold stone looks like two independent spaces. After the whole house is opened, as long as the door of the two spaces is opened, it is like a large space that is opened. The entire space will be more concise, generous, open and bright.
. Ceramic tiles + wooden flooring situation:
Generally, threshold stone is used in the spaces on both sides. However, many people now choose the matching plan for hall tiles and bedroom tiles. In this case, it is generally not recommended to use threshold stone, because it is difficult to close unless the height difference is made between threshold stone and wooden floor.
For the storage between the tiles and the wooden floor, solution 1 is to use a sidebar to leave a gap between the wooden floor and the tiles, and then press a T-shaped sidebar into the gap. Use the sidebar to block the gap and achieve excessive between the two materials of the tiles and the wooden floor.
If you think that the T-strip will have a raised edge strip at the end of the T-strip is not simple enough, you can also choose a metal edge strip. This edge strip is completely embedded in the ground, installed between the ceramic tile and the wooden floor, and installed relatively flat on both sides.
comprehensively considering the management, space design and practical factors. It is generally recommended to install threshold stones in the bathroom, balcony and door, while it is not recommended to install threshold stones between the hall and bedroom, hall and study room and other spaces.
