When it comes to maintaining the charm and functionality of your home in North Vancouver and West Vancouver, paying attention to the small details can make a big difference. One such detail is the interior door threshold. Often overlooked, thresholds play a crucial role in maintaining the separation between rooms, keeping out drafts, and providing a smooth transition between different flooring types. If your thresholds are worn out or outdated, it’s time for a replacement, and Microworks Handyman Services is here to help.

Why Replace Interior Door Thresholds?

Over time, thresholds can become damaged due to foot traffic, moisture, and general wear and tear. Replacing them not only improves the aesthetics of your home but also enhances its functionality. Here are a few reasons why you should consider replacing your door thresholds.

• Improved Appearance: A new threshold can complement your flooring and decor, adding a polished look to your home.
• Energy Efficiency: Properly installed thresholds help prevent drafts, improving your home’s insulation.
• Smooth Transitions: They provide a seamless transition between different flooring types, reducing the risk of trips and falls.

Choosing the Right Threshold

When it comes to selecting a new threshold, there are several factors to consider, including the material, style, and finish. At Microworks, we offer a variety of options to suit your specific needs:

• Materials: Choose from wood, metal, or vinyl thresholds depending on your preference and the location of the threshold.
• Styles: From standard to custom-designed thresholds, we can match the design to fit perfectly with your home’s decor.
• Finishes: We offer staining services to ensure your new threshold matches your existing flooring perfectly.

Custom Thresholds for a Perfect Fit

One of the standout services we offer at Microworks Handyman Services is the creation of custom thresholds. We understand that not all doorways are created equal, and sometimes a standard threshold just won’t do. Our team can craft a custom threshold tailored to the unique dimensions and design of your doorway, ensuring a perfect fit every time.

The Custom Threshold Process

1. Assessment: We start by assessing the current threshold and taking precise measurements.
2. Material Selection: Choose the material and style that best suits your home’s aesthetic. We typically pick this product up from Windsor Plywood in Burnaby. They have the best selection of hardwood profiles that can be used to create interior thresholds. They also carry long length of aluminum capped threshold for exterior use. They cut this to size right inside the store.
3. Crafting: Our skilled craftsmen create the custom threshold with attention to detail. This can involve some careful jigsaw work to make sure the threshold is installed properly.
4. Installation: We install the new threshold with precision, ensuring it fits seamlessly. For bonding, we’ll typically avoid nails, opting to glue this in with high strength PL Premium adhesive instead.
5. Staining: Finally, we stain the threshold to match your flooring, providing a cohesive look.

Case Study:

At this home in Blueridge, we built a custom threshold in a area that was missing it completely! The renovator did not have a solution to installing this sill, so we took the reigns and built a new sill on site, stained and ready to go in a day. Using red oak, we were able to match the sill to the existing flooring and cabinets in the home. Bonded in place with PL Premium, we apply caulking to the edges and sealed the sill with Varathane.

We started by sourcing two sill pieces from our supplied in Burnaby, and with some milling, created a mock-up of the threshold.
