The threshold stone is generally made of natural stone, and most decoration companies or home designers recommend using natural stone as the threshold stone. There are mainly the following reasons: indoor decoration inevitably has longer door openings on balconies or kitchens (bedroom threshold stones are generally less than 900mm, bathroom threshold stones are generally less than 800mm). If other materials are used to make threshold stones, it cannot meet the length requirements, resulting in too many joint positions on a threshold stone, which is not aesthetically pleasing. The interior design is diverse and the shapes are also different. Sometimes, irregular door openings require the use of threshold stones, which better reflects the advantages of natural stone as a threshold stone. Natural stone slabs are generally larger, which can better meet the length and shape requirements of different sizes of irregular threshold stones.

The floor tile surfaces of bathrooms, kitchens, living balconies, and unclosed balconies are 5mm lower than those of other parts (mainly to prevent water backflow). The lower side of the threshold stone in these positions needs to be polished with a small slanted edge to achieve a smooth cut of 5mm exposed material cross-section and consistent color and luster with the smooth surface of the slab, which is also something that floor tiles cannot achieve. Next, we will try to maintain consistency in the threshold stones of a typical house, including materials, colors, and methods. We will try to avoid using bricks to replace the shorter threshold stones of a house, and then using natural stone to make the longer ones. This will not maintain consistency and aesthetics, and the visual effect will be greatly reduced. Finally, generally, the price of better large floor tiles is much higher than that of natural stone. Using natural stone as a threshold stone is economically more affordable (except for choosing a very expensive variety). In fact, the patterns, colors, and luster of natural stone itself are more natural and beautiful. Choosing materials and panels well can bring a different aesthetic to the overall decoration.
