Coping, cills, and thresholds are important architectural elements used in construction projects to provide a finishing touch to the exterior and interior of a building. They serve both practical and aesthetic purposes, such as providing protection against the elements, preventing water ingress, and enhancing the appearance of a structure.
Thresholds are horizontal strips of material placed at the base of doorways to provide a smooth transition between different types of flooring. They are typically made from stone, concrete, or metal and are designed to prevent water from entering the building through the doorway.
Thresholds can also be used to enhance the appearance of a building, with a wide range of styles, colours, and materials available to suit any design scheme. Some common materials used for thresholds include natural stone, precast concrete, and metal. Each material offers its own unique benefits and aesthetic appeal, from the classic look of natural stone to the modern, sleek appearance of metal.
