Building a bathroom threshold

Building a bathroom threshold - protection from moisture and comfort every day

Building a bathroom threshold is a key detail that is often underestimated, but it is of great importance for the comfort and long-term protection of your home. A well-made threshold retains water in the wet room, prevents flooding in the hallway and other rooms, reduces the risk of moisture and mold and ensures safe passage. We offer professional construction of a bathroom threshold, tailored to the type of flooring, the characteristics of the room and your aesthetic requirements.

Why is a bathroom threshold so important

A properly built bathroom threshold is not just a decorative element, but an important barrier that protects floors and walls from water. Often, old bathrooms or improper installation result in leaks, swollen laminates, loose tiles and unpleasant odors from moisture. The threshold helps to limit this risk and significantly extends the life of the flooring in the adjacent rooms.

When combined with quality waterproofing, proper slope to the siphon and professionally performed plumbing services, the bathroom threshold becomes reliable protection for your entire home. Whether you are renovating an old bathroom or building a new home, this detail should not be overlooked.

Main functions of the bathroom threshold

• Retaining water inside the wet room
• Preventing flooding in the hallway and adjacent rooms
• Reducing the risk of moisture, mold and damage to flooring
• Improving safety when passing, especially when there is a difference in levels
• Aesthetically separating the bathroom from the rest of the home

Stages in professional construction of a bathroom threshold

In order for the bathroom threshold to be strong, aesthetic and long-lasting, it must be built using a clear technology and with appropriate materials. We approach each object carefully and take into account all the details - from the height of the threshold to the connection with the floor coverings and waterproofing.

1. Inspection and planning

The first step is an inspection of the room and the existing flooring. It is important to assess the floor level, the location of the siphon and the slope for water drainage. On this basis, the following are specified:

• The height and width of the threshold
• Will it be made of plaster, brick, aerated concrete, granite tiles or other material
• How will it connect to the floor and corridor tiles
• The necessary additional vik uslugi and adjustments to the floor or siphon

2. Building the threshold base

After preparing the base, the threshold itself is built. Usually, cement mortar, bricks or blocks are used, which are firmly fixed to the floor. It is important to ensure a good connection with the waterproofing, as well as to maintain the exact levels so that the threshold does not interfere with opening and closing the door.

At this stage, it is often combined with other vik installation and repair, such as correcting siphons, replacing pipes or preparing for the installation of a shower cabin.

3. Waterproofing and cladding

The waterproofing around the bathroom threshold is key to long-term protection against leaks. It is carefully applied to the walls and floor, with particular attention to the area of ​​contact between the threshold and the floor covering. Then, the floor is covered with tiles, porcelain stoneware or another selected material.

The joints are filled precisely so that they do not leak water. If desired, decorative strips can be added to aesthetically complete the overall look of the bathroom and the transition to the hallway.

Types of bathroom thresholds and how to choose the right one

Choosing the right type of bathroom threshold depends on the functional needs, the design of the home and the budget. We can advise you on site and offer the most suitable solution according to the specific case.

Threshold made of screed and tiles

This is the most common option. It is built from a cement base, which is then lined with floor tiles or porcelain stoneware. It is suitable for most bathrooms and provides good durability and easy maintenance.

Stone or granite threshold

Suitable for more luxurious interiors and for places with higher traffic. Granite and natural stone are extremely resistant to moisture and mechanical stress, and also give an elegant finish to the bathroom.

Low or hidden threshold

In modern bathrooms with "walk-in" shower areas, a lower or almost invisible threshold is often sought. It still performs its function, but is consistent with the requirements for accessibility and minimalism in design. It requires a precise floor level and very good waterproofing and slope towards the siphon.
