Is it necessary to use door stones for decoration? Is it okay not to use door stones?

I often hear friends around me complain that they regret not installing door stones during the renovation, which has caused many problems now. Some people despise the ugly entrance stones, while some people don’t understand the entrance stones. Today I will tell you about door stones and help you analyze whether you should install door stones!

What is a stepping stone

First of all, let’s talk about what a stepping stone is? The crossing stone is also called the threshold stone. My understanding is that the crossing stone is a transitional area between adjacent indoor spaces. Functions include: 1) Decorative function. Entrance stones are generally in one piece, with natural texture, and can embellish monotonous ground.

2) Divide indoor spaces, such as bedroom and main bathroom, bedroom and living room, kitchen and dining room, living room and bathroom, etc.

3) Make up the height difference between the inside and outside. If there is a difference in the materials or terrain between the two spaces, the door stone can be matched. For example, if you have wooden floors in the bedroom and floor tiles in the living room, generally the floors are higher than the ceramic tiles. Entrance stones can solve this problem.

4) It can be used to block water and waterproof the bathroom. For example, if the master bedroom has a wooden floor, you are most afraid of water in the master bathroom overflowing and damaging the wooden floor. The door stone can first separate the water and the wooden floor so that the two do not come into contact. Moreover, it can also be considered to create a height difference to block water in the bathroom.

So, friends who are planning to decorate with wooden floors must not forget to use door stones.

Types of crossing stones

So what material are the crossing stones generally made of?

1) Stone. Generally, stone is used as the door stone. You can ask the bricklayer to measure the size for you and order the stone directly. After the merchant cuts it to size for you. Advantages: The entry stones are all in one piece and do not need to be spliced; they are thick and naturally wear-resistant. Nowadays, most people use quartz stone (for example, black gold sand is used more often), with a thickness of about 1cm and a price of 160 yuan/square meter. Marble is also used, with a thickness of about 2cm. The price is slightly higher, basically 220 yuan/square meter, and it requires threading (the price is extra).

2) Ceramic tiles. You can also cut the floor tiles into the size of the door stone, and the price is actually about the same as using stone. But it requires splicing, and the thickness and aesthetics are inferior.

Conclusion

So I suggest that you use stone to make door stones. In fact, it really doesn’t cost much. Let’s talk about this for today. For more decoration experience, please pay attention to my headline account. I will continue to update.
