Why is a smart threshold a modern, practical and cost-effective solution?

When installing entrance or interior doors, a stationary threshold is often used for the purpose of additional heat or sound insulation. This is also done when arranging bathrooms so that water does not enter the living quarters. However, the usual threshold, having become familiar to many of us, has some disadvantages:

Not always in harmony with the interior.

It is not suitable if people with disabilities, children, the elderly live in the house, since in these cases the unhindered movement of a person becomes relevant. They become unusable very quickly - chips, scratches, etc. appear on the surface of the thresholds. Replacing the door threshold very often requires dismantling the doors and the door frame. Progress does not stand still, and today you can find a smart threshold on sale - an innovative system with a simple mechanism of action. When the doors are closed, the threshold extends and fills the space between the floor and the bottom of the door. During opening, the smart threshold for interior doors silently and quickly slides into the grooves specially provided for this.

So, what are the advantages of using a smart threshold?

A smart threshold can be installed where the installation of a traditional doorway is not possible. For example, these are station buildings, medical institutions, industrial premises, airports. Smart thresholds have high rates of heat and noise insulation, do not let in drafts and moisture. There are even fireproof smart thresholds that prevent smoke from entering the room. If the floor has a slope or unevenness, the Smart Threshold can level out and adapt to the flooring where it is installed. How to calculate the exact cost? Send a request to the manager.

Benefits of a smart threshold

So, what are the advantages of using a smart threshold?

A smart threshold can be installed where the installation of a traditional doorway is not possible. For example, these are station buildings, medical institutions, industrial premises, airports.
Smart thresholds have high rates of heat and noise insulation, do not let in drafts and moisture. There are even fireproof smart thresholds that prevent smoke from entering the room.
If the floor has a slope or unevenness, the smart threshold can level out and adjust to flooring where it is installed.

The threshold installed in interior doors (most often wooden) is quite common in our homes. Despite the fact that this is just a small bar, it performs very important functions: it significantly improves sound and heat insulation in the room, and is also one of the important fire safety requirements, since its presence significantly increases the fire resistance of the door.

But this technology also has its drawbacks: they wear out very quickly, the coating on them is erased, which means that they appearance leaves much to be desired. In addition, for the elderly, young children and people who move in wheelchairs, a height of 2-3 cm quite often becomes a real problem that must be overcome dozens of times a day. But today, a technology is proposed that allows you to eliminate all the shortcomings, while not abandoning the threshold as such and ensuring the performance of all its functions.

This technology is called "anti-threshold". It lies in the fact that when the doors are closed, the gap between the door leaf and the floor is closed by a seal that extends from a special groove. When opening such a "threshold" automatically rises, hiding in the door leaf. As a result, all the functions of a traditional design element are performed in full, but at the same time a number of significant advantages appear:

such an "anti-threshold" is not subject to deformation, does not tear or break during operation;
does not require care or maintenance,
increases the level of comfort and safety of movement between rooms,
protects the room from drafts and dust,
reduces the noise level
serves as thermal insulation.

Such "anti-thresholds" can be installed on any door, regardless of its design and material of manufacture, including metal and plastic. Most often they are installed in the lower part of the door leaf, but it is also possible to install the structure in its upper part. Structurally, the "anti-threshold" can be mounted in a special groove in the lower or upper part of the door. But in the event that it becomes necessary to install the system on a finished door in which a special groove cannot be made, an overhead design with an aluminum base is used.

An important advantage of this technology is also the fact that it is actively used today in the equipment of fire doors. When installed, smoke, fire, gas, dust will no longer penetrate through the doorways. This equipment is especially relevant in those institutions where the movement of any wheeled transport is often required (on manufacturing enterprises, in medical and social institutions, in warehouses).

Varieties of "anti-thresholds"

There are two main "anti-threshold" designs that are most widely used.

Threshold-guillotine. Structurally, such a threshold is a U-shaped profile with a rubber seal equipped with a spring. It works at the moment of closing the door and withstands a long service life until the seal is replaced (about 250 thousand cycles). "Guillotine" can be installed on wooden, metal or aluminum interior doors, and standard size profile can be easily adjusted according to the dimensions of the door leaf.
Smart Threshold. When the door is open, the mechanism is completely hidden in the groove inside the canvas. When the door closes, the threshold slowly lowers and closes the gap between the floor and the door. Due to this principle of operation, automatic leveling occurs if the floor is sloping. It can also be used for doors intended for evacuation, transportation of gurneys or trolleys.

The Fapicom company offers a solution to eliminate drafts in your apartment or room, purchase and install a system " SMART THRESHOLD for wooden interior doors.

When installing wooden doors, most often a fixed threshold made of wood or MDF is installed on the floor to increase sound insulation and thermal insulation of rooms, and prevent drafts. But this threshold has disadvantages:

the floor threshold protrudes strongly above the floor level;
this is an obstacle that you will pass several times a day, trying not to forget to raise your legs.
these are potentially dangerous fall sites for young children and the elderly and for wheelchairs, making it difficult for them to enter the premises.
floor thresholds wear out quickly, chips and scratches on them spoil their appearance, and in order to replace it, you will need to dismantle the door, disassemble the door frame and reinstall the wooden door.

BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION!!!

"for wooden doors, this is a special retractable door threshold manufactured by the Italian company Domatic and a new direction in fittings for wooden doors. The design solution allows you to install the threshold in the groove of the door leaf and completely hide it. The retractable threshold is simple and unique: when the door leaf is closed, this threshold automatically smoothly lowers, closing the gap between the floor and the canvas, and when the door is opened, it rises silently. "Smart Threshold" will allow you to permanently abandon the uncomfortable use of floor thresholds. Thresholds are available in various lengths in increments of 100 m., starting from 400 mm., and can be trimmed within 100 mm The height of lowering the threshold is adjustable and ranges from 9 to 13 mm.

The main advantages of the "smart threshold":

the "smart threshold" system provides sound and heat insulation of the room,
automatically levels on sloping and/or uneven floors;
allows you to move freely. This is especially important for escape routes, rooms where carts, wheelchairs, wheelchairs, etc. are used.
when the door is closed, the smart threshold will ensure that there are no drafts with the penetration of odors, smoke and dust. convenient and safe.

Drop-down "smart" thresholds come in different sizes and installation options:

Smart home, smart watches, smart bracelets... Finally, smart developments have reached ordinary apartments, where coffee makers do not send SMS messages to their owners, and the home weather station does not warn about the need to take an umbrella. “Smart” thresholds are named so, of course, rather to attract attention, because there are no electronics in them. But still, such thresholds have some advantages over the usual ones.

What's wrong with a normal threshold?

Even the most newfangled and expensive ones have one significant drawback: neither non-threshold nor threshold doors can close so tightly as to completely isolate the room from light, noise, smell or draft, even if a contour seal is installed around the perimeter of the door frame. In addition, the usual threshold has its drawbacks: it is problematic to pass through it, say, in a wheelchair or a children's car (not to mention such a domestic inconvenience as dust constantly accumulating in the cracks between the floor and the threshold).

How it works?

"Smart" threshold is a seal, hidden in a special pocket at the bottom of the door. When the door is open, it is not visible. As soon as it starts to close, the soft threshold smoothly “leaves” from the pocket (thanks to the protruding start button located on the side of the door) and tightly covers the existing gap. So tight that even a sheet of paper cannot be pushed through it.

What is a good "smart" threshold?

A “smart” threshold (aka anti-threshold, aka “guillotine”, aka auto-threshold) copes well with all of the above problems (smell, light, noise). Well, another advantage is the ability to operate on uneven floors. So if there was no leveling of the floors in the apartment and is not planned, installing an anti-threshold is not a hindrance.

When is it needed?

To some, such a problem will seem trifling and not worth bothering with at all, but in fact, a “smart” threshold can do a good job at home. For example, if, located next to the living room, even behind closed doors, the sounds of the TV are heard, preventing the child from sleeping or concentrating on lessons. Or if someone in the family gets up in the morning before the rest and goes to work - "in a smart way" closed door will allow you not to wake up all households with the noise of a hairdryer, loudly flowing water in the bathroom or the sound of plates in the kitchen. In general, the student will have less chances to justify the “deuce” in chemistry by loudly working on the eve of the telecom, and more household members who get up in the morning from the “other foot”.

How to install?

Of course, there is no need to buy a special door with an auto-threshold already in it - it is quite enough to “pump” the one that you already have. To do this, you need to remove the door leaf from the hinges, measure its width, then disassemble the auto-threshold itself into its component parts, cut them off based on the required dimensions, and assemble them back. Then you need to cut a groove of the appropriate size in the lower end of the door leaf, insert the threshold into the resulting pocket and fix it with self-tapping screws. In general, everything is not so difficult, but if you don’t know how to hold a router in your hands and you can’t guarantee the correct installation by yourself, of course, it’s better to turn to specialists or turn your attention to overhead anti-thresholds. They work on the same principle, only they are mounted on top of the door leaf, and in this case, nothing more than the ability to hold a screwdriver in your hands will be needed. True, here you have to sacrifice the aesthetic component, since the overhead anti-threshold against the background of the door looks “foreign” and significantly loses to the invisible mortise “guillotine”.

Which door is suitable for?

For any average (as a rule, thresholds for interior doors are limited to a length of 120-130 mm). If the doors in your apartment are double doors, the threshold can be installed on each of them.

What are the "cons"?

It must be understood that this system is not omnipotent. And, for example, it will not be possible to hide a very large gap, since the maximum possibilities of the threshold are 1.4 cm of the gap between the floor and the door.

What is the price?

On average - from 1300-1400 rubles.

How long will it last?

Different manufacturers promise a service life of 80 thousand to 1 million opening cycles.
