What is the function of the door stone?

1. Decorative function: the door sill is usually a whole piece with natural patterns, which can embellish the monotonous ground.

2. Divide the indoor space, such as bedroom and master bathroom, bedroom and living room, kitchen and dining room, living room and bathroom, etc.

3. Make up for the height difference between inside and outside. If there is a difference in the materials or terrain of the two spaces, the threshold can be used to make them equal. For example, the bedroom is paved with wooden floors and the living room is paved with floor tiles. Generally speaking, the floor is higher than the tiles, and the threshold can solve this problem.

4. It can be used to block water and waterproof the bathroom. For example, if the master bedroom is paved with wooden floors, the most worrying thing is that the water in the master bathroom will overflow and damage the wooden floors and walls. The door sill can artificially create a height difference and block the water in the bathroom.

What are the tips for choosing door sills?

1. In terms of material: when choosing stone, it is best to choose natural stone, because natural stone is generally more compact and hard, while artificial stone is often thinner and not hard enough, and is easy to deform after long-term use. If you choose natural stone, marble and granite are both good choices.

2. In terms of color: Since the door sill is used to help the material transition, the color should also be considered carefully, and it is best to have a transition effect. However, if the two materials are too different, it is recommended to choose white or black, two classic colors, which are easier to match.

3. In terms of shape: It is best not to choose overly fancy patterns. Of course, it is also good if the pattern can be coordinated with the home decoration style. If not, it is recommended to choose a solid color door sill.

4. In terms of thickness: There are requirements for the thickness of the door sill. The thickness of the door sill must be at least 14mm. This thickness can ensure the hardness of the stone. If it is less than this thickness, it will easily break during the installation process.

What to put under the door sill?

1. Place copper coins under the threshold.

2. Copper coins were the most basic currency in the past. They have been in the hands of countless people. They are imbued with a lot of Yang energy. Putting them at the door can play a role in warding off evil spirits from the perspective of Feng Shui. All the bad things outside are not brought into the house. Everything is blocked outside the door, just like people can step over the fire basin when something goes wrong. This is just a common way to ward off evil spirits in daily life, and it also means that wealth will come into the house.
