Frequently asked questions about the Thresholds category
Thresholds — what are they and what are they used for?
Thresholds are profiles and seals installed at door bases to finish transitions between floor coverings, protect floor edges and improve thermal and acoustic performance. The category includes aluminium, wood, rubber and composite thresholds in various profiles and sizes for internal and external doors.
What materials are thresholds made from and how does aluminium differ from wood?
Available materials include aluminium, wood (oak, ash), rubber and composite thresholds. Aluminium is lightweight and corrosion‑resistant, suitable for high traffic; wooden thresholds offer a warm interior finish but need moisture protection.
What sizes of thresholds are available and how to choose width and height?
Common sizes in the category include 25x87x990 mm and profiles of 68 mm, 92 mm and 121 mm with lengths 630–930 mm. Choose height to cover the gap between the door and flooring; width depends on the door opening and desired appearance.
Which thresholds suit exterior doors and are there waterproof options?
Exterior doors require aluminium or moisture‑resistant composite thresholds with anti‑corrosion treatment and seals. The range includes VEEKINDEL ALU/PUIT 25x87x990 mm models designed for improved water protection.
Which threshold is suitable for underfloor heating and sound absorption?
For underfloor heating choose aluminium or composite thresholds with a thermal insulation layer and low thermal bridge; for sound absorption pick profiles with seals or rubber inserts. The range includes models with rubber elements and various profile heights.
How do Swedoor 68/93 mm thresholds differ from standard 68 mm thresholds?
Swedoor 68/93 mm thresholds are factory‑sized for Swedoor systems with precise fitting dimensions and refined finishes. Standard 68 mm thresholds tend to be more universal in fit and come in various finishes.
Are there dark thresholds available, e.g. VEEKINDEL 25x87x990 mm in black?
Yes, the range includes dark and graphite finishes such as VEEKINDEL ALU/PUIT 25x87x990 mm BLACK suitable for modern dark interiors. Surfaces are anodised or painted for improved wear resistance.
Can I pick a threshold for a specific car model like Lanos, Golf, VAZ (2107/2109/2110/2106)?
This category covers building and door thresholds, not automotive parts. We do not list car sill covers for Lanos, Golf or VAZ models here; products are intended for interior and exterior doors.
Which thresholds suit commercial areas with heavy footfall?
Aluminium and reinforced aluminium‑wood thresholds with profile widths from 68 to 121 mm and anodised finishes are suitable for commercial spaces. Look for reinforced construction and rubber seals for durability.
How to measure a door opening for ordering a 25x87x990 mm threshold?
Measure the door opening width at floor level and the gap height the threshold must cover. The 25x87x990 mm model means 25 mm working width, 87 mm height and 990 mm length; ensure these dimensions match your opening.
