Aerated concrete threshold 🤦‍♂️. Putting together a "puzzle" from pieces of a block that must withstand the load from the doors.

Having heard that even stairs are being built from aerated concrete, I decided to conduct my own experiment. Let's see how this material behaves ...

Everything happened in the process of preparing for the installation of the front door.

Initially, when laying the walls, I had to provide that insulation would go along the floor slab (from inside the house), so I immediately made the opening higher than the size of the doors.

And while the insulation of the floors, I will not do it soon, and the door needs to be installed, it is necessary to immediately raise it to the desired height.

This is what I decided to do with the remains of aerated concrete.

Considering that the thickness of the insulation will be 100 mm, and the screed is at least 50-60 mm, I decided to make a threshold of 150 mm in order to bring the door level with the future floor.

But I had blocks of 100 mm in stock, and the remaining 50 had to be cut.

Cutting such a thin piece lengthwise from the whole block, I would never have succeeded. So I had to cut a few small ones and put together a puzzle ...

After gluing the first layer onto the foam glue, I leveled the row and removed the "steps" between the pieces of aerated concrete using a float.

And the next whole blocks, I put it on an almost flat surface.

The result is such a threshold.

• Will not freeze.
• Easy to manufacture.
• And the strength is enough. Considering that the door frame will press on it all over the plane at once.

Well, how to securely fix the front door in "fragile" aerated concrete, read the next article.
