So often found in the literature, the word “threshold” was transformed into “spray”. But at the same time did not lose its significance for the house. Many will say that you can do without them. Yes, now they often lay the floor in the entire apartment, for example, with a laminate. In this case, really, you can do without rocks. However, there are situations when you can’t do without them. When are the thresholds. In each apartment or house, you can, perhaps, find several places at once, where to install them. Imagine an apartment or recall, for example, the construction of houses from a bar. In such houses and often in apartments of multi -storey buildings, which flooring are often used for different rooms? In the kitchen – it is linoleum or tile, in the hallway – ceramic tiles or even porcelain tiles.
By the way, porcelain tiles have been often used recently for gender in the kitchen. Carpet coatings are often laid in the nursery, it is also used in the bedroom. Lined living room or office with laminate or parquet. And how to join such different flooring. Here we need sills. They will mask joints of floor coverings of different textures and quality.
Particular attention should be paid to natural wood floors – this is a parquet, a massive board. It is necessary, it is necessary, to take into account the property of the tree to respond to temperature changes and especially, humidity. Not visibly, for the time being, the wooden coverage of the floor, as it were, arrive in constant movement. And if they are correctly stacked, then they will serve you for a long time.
Indeed, experienced craftsmen, knowing about this property of wooden coatings, usually, when laying such a floor, they necessarily make gaps in places where the floor adjoins the wall, when moving to another room or when joining with a qualitatively different flooring. And what will happen if you do not make such gaps?
And the following will happen – since the wooden coating will begin to be squeezed, the parquet will simply rise or swell, in the place where it comes into contact with ceramic tiles. Also applies to laminate, although it is not made of wood, but very sensitive to high humidity.
The gaps between the wall and the floor are closed with a baseboard, but the so necessary gap between different coatings is very aesthetically closed with a spray. This is, it would seem a small detail, as a threshold will help you solve serious problems.
