Cracked plastic threshold on the balcony. We do a solid foundation of debris (drywall pieces)

Some are faced with such a problem: the bursting of the threshold to the balcony. The reason usually is that when installing the small set of support wedges and zapenili voids with foam.

a radical solution to the problem - replaced, dismantle the old threshold and make a new one. Now we examine some of the options.

Threshold to the balcony is needed for aesthetic reasons, and that the cold did not penetrate into the room.

plastic threshold mounted on a support point (the cheaper option). This option is short-lived. After some time (with the incorrect installation) plastic pressed, cracks appear noticeable. Minus this option is that the plastic is possible to build a small height of the nut.

Laminate

Use better laminate class 33, 32 or 31. The threshold of this material is the most practical than wood embodiment. To implement will need to buy wooden bars, corners, laminate, liquid nails, baseboard. Make a frame of sticks, fastened with screws. Next you need to drill holes for dowels in the concrete threshold and frame. Get mineral wool. Then fit the top sheet of plywood or chipboard.

In use as a finishing laminate sheet, which is fastened with screws or nails liquid. The edges of the threshold issue areas. Between wall and laminate secure clearance. Then it is possible to close a plinth.

Tile

The best coating to the same long-lasting and easy to clean. But it is necessary to prepare the base for the tiles. There are 3 options: pour a solution to make the base of brick or debris (drywall residue).

Brick

Used if the differential (the height of) the threshold is high. In this case it is easier and better to lay the brick threshold. This is a reliable basis for the threshold. Some masters recommend to use that sand-lime brick. Prepare the mortar according to the instructions on the package and start laying bricks.

Solution

The second method - threshold pour solution. This method is used when a threshold height is less than the thickness of the brick. Need cement - sand mixture (M-150). Make formwork solution to fill the space with a spatula and to align.

The base under the threshold of garbage

Cheapest way - the base of the debris. Need remnants, pieces of drywall. Increase the threshold easily through drywall.

Cut plasterboard rectangles and spread on a solution of (tile adhesive with sand - proportions 1:1) In layers. One series spread horizontally, a second vertically and horizontally next t. D. Drywall is easy to cut with a knife stationery. All work takes place without dust and noise.

Plasterboard spread on a thin layer of glue, and therefore will not give any shrinkage. Monolithic foundation. No need to wait until the glue grabs, you can immediately make the nut facing tiles. Tile laid on a clean adhesive without sand. Then make the grout.
