Marble Threshold (Door Marble Threshold Supply & Installation)

We supplies and installs Marble Threshold / Door Marble Threshold pieces for bathrooms, bedrooms, and main doors, available in standard and custom sizes (popular widths 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm with lengths cut to your doorway) and practical thickness options like 18mm, 20mm, and 30mm based on floor level difference and door clearance. We offer finishes such as polished, honed (matte), brushed, and anti-slip textured, with edge profiles including beveled, eased (soft square), bullnose, and pencil-round for a clean look and better chip resistance. For pricing, standard ready-made marble thresholds commonly listed in the UAE market (for example sizes around 4″×24″ to 6″×24″) are typically in the ~AED 150–800+ per piece range, while custom sizing, special edges/finishes, delivery, and installation are quoted based on your exact measurements and site conditions. We provide delivery and installation across all emirates of the UAE: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah.

Marble Threshold Options We Provide

Door Threshold Marble (Bathroom / Bedroom / Main Door)

We provide door threshold marble solutions for the most common doorway transitions—selected based on water exposure, foot traffic, and the height difference between the two floors:

  • Bathroom thresholds: Designed to handle splashes and frequent cleaning. These are commonly installed at the bathroom entrance to create a clean transition from tile to tile/wood and to help manage minor water movement.

  • Bedroom thresholds: Typically used for neat transitions (tile-to-wood, tile-to-vinyl, or tile-to-carpet). These are usually flatter profiles for comfortable daily walking.

  • Main door thresholds: Built for higher traffic and entryway wear. Where needed, we can supply thresholds with a slight slope/ramp to bridge level differences cleanly and reduce trip risk.

Sizes Available (Length × Width × Thickness)

We supply standard and custom-cut marble thresholds. Sizes are typically specified as Length × Width × Thickness, based on your door opening and floor build-up.

Common widths (W):

  • 50 mm (2″)

  • 100 mm (4″)

  • 150 mm (6″)

  • 200 mm (8″)

Common thicknesses (T):

  • 18 mm

  • 20 mm

  • 30 mm (often used where extra strength or height build-up is needed)

Common lengths (L):

  • 600 mm (24″), 762 mm (30″), 914 mm (36″), 1220 mm (48″)

  • Custom length cut to suit your exact doorway width (especially where jambs/frames or trims affect the finishing)

Finishes (Polished / Honed / Anti-slip)

We offer finishes that affect both the look and the grip underfoot:

  • Polished finish: High-gloss, premium look that highlights natural veining. Popular for bedrooms and low-splash areas where maximum shine is desired.

  • Honed finish: Smooth matte surface with a more subtle, modern appearance. Often preferred for bathrooms because it typically feels less slippery than polished.

  • Anti-slip options: For wet zones and entrances, we provide safer surface choices such as textured anti-slip finishing and grooved (ribbed) thresholds that improve traction while keeping the threshold easy to clean.

Edge Profiles (Beveled / Bullnose / Square)

Edge shaping matters for comfort, durability, and chip resistance. We provide:

  • Beveled (chamfered) edge: A clean angled edge that reduces sharp corners and helps prevent chipping—one of the most common choices for door marble thresholds.

  • Bullnose edge: A rounded profile (often half-bullnose for thresholds) for a softer feel underfoot—great for bathrooms and barefoot areas.

  • Square edge: A crisp, straight look; can be done as a true square or a lightly eased square to remove sharpness while keeping the modern style.

 

Marble Threshold Prices

Pricing for a marble threshold is mainly driven by width (2”, 4”, 6”), length, thickness (18mm / 20mm / 30mm), plus the finish (polished, honed, anti-slip) and edge profile (beveled, bullnose, square). Small differences—like adding a double bevel, anti-slip grooves, or making angle cuts—also change fabrication time, so we price it transparently by spec.

Price by Size (2”, 4”, 6” widths)

Below is a practical price guide based on common UAE market listings for standard threshold pieces (supply-only) and typical project-style pricing (per linear meter) used in BOQ/contract work.

WidthMetricTypical useSupply-only (standard pieces)Project rate (per linear meter)*
2”~50mmTight transitions, low-profile doorwaysQuote-based (depends on length & thickness)From ~AED 45–55 / lm
4”100mmMost common bathroom/bedroom doorway~AED 560–850 / piece~AED 60 / lm
6”~150mmWider coverage, tile-to-wood/carpet~AED 745–1,000 / pieceUsually between 100mm & 200mm rates

Project rates are typically for bulk/BOQ quantities and standard specs; small orders can price higher due to minimum cutting/handling, transport, and site visit costs.

Price by Thickness

Thickness affects both material cost and stability:

  • 18mm: Best for flush indoor transitions where height build-up is minimal.

  • 20mm: The most common “all-rounder” thickness for door thresholds.

  • 30mm: Used when you need extra height, a stronger “saddle look,” or a more premium feel (more cutting/weight, so cost increases).

As a simple guide, moving from 20mm → 30mm usually increases total cost because of extra material and fabrication time (especially with bullnose edges).

Custom Cut & Fabrication Charges

Custom work is priced by complexity and finish requirements, such as:

  • Custom length cutting to exact door opening (straight cut)

  • Angle cuts / scribe cuts (when frames/tiles aren’t perfectly square)

  • Notches for jambs, trims, or door stoppers

  • Edge profiling upgrades: beveled/chamfered, bullnose, square/eased

  • Anti-slip grooves (ribbed) or textured finishing for wet areas

Delivery & Installation Charges

Delivery and installation are quoted based on emirate + site access + quantity + prep required (removal of old threshold, leveling, adhesive bed, sealing/caulking, and curing time). Some supply-only listings also show shipping/customs as separate, which is why installed pricing is always confirmed after measurement.

Bulk / Project Discounts (Villas, Apartments, Contractors)

For villas, apartment batches, and contractor projects, we offer better rates when:

  • Multiple thresholds share the same width/thickness/edge

  • Quantities allow batching in fabrication (fewer setup changes)

  • Delivery and installation can be planned in one visit.

 

Best-Selling Marble Threshold Types

White Marble Threshold

White marble thresholds are a top choice when you want a bright, clean transition that blends easily with most bathroom and interior tiles. They’re especially popular for bathroom doors, shower entry areas, and light-colored flooring because the threshold looks crisp and “finished” even in small spaces. White marble is commonly selected in honed (matte) for better day-to-day practicality, or polished when the goal is a premium, glossy look. For a safe and comfortable finish underfoot, the most requested edge profiles are beveled (chamfered) and eased square, with bullnose preferred in barefoot areas.

Black Marble Threshold

Black marble thresholds create a strong, modern contrast—ideal for main doors, dark tiles, and contemporary interiors. They hide general dust better than white tones, and they work especially well with black frames, matte hardware, and darker grout schemes. Customers typically choose honed for a softer, more slip-friendly surface, or polished when they want a bold reflective finish. For durability, beveled edges are common to reduce corner chipping, while square/eased edges are popular for a sharp architectural look.

Grey Marble Threshold

Grey marble thresholds are a “safe” neutral that fits almost any palette—white tiles, beige floors, wood tones, and concrete-look porcelains. They’re frequently used for bedroom door transitions and hallway thresholds because they look balanced and don’t overpower the flooring. Grey shades also work well for light-to-medium traffic areas where you want a clean look without the high contrast of black. Honed grey is often selected for everyday use, while polished grey is chosen for feature spaces. Common edging includes eased square and beveled, with bullnose for softer touch in family homes.

Silver Travertine

Silver travertine thresholds are chosen for their natural, layered character—mixes of silver-grey, beige, and warm tones that pair nicely with modern and classic interiors. They’re popular in villas and premium apartments for doors leading to bathrooms, dressing areas, and living spaces, especially when the surrounding flooring includes travertine, marble, or stone-look porcelain. Silver travertine can be supplied with a filled and honed finish for a smooth, practical surface, or a more decorative finish depending on the look you want. Most customers select beveled or eased edges for a clean finish; bullnose is also available when a rounded feel is preferred.

Beige Marble

Beige marble thresholds are a favorite for warm interiors—cream tiles, sand tones, and wood flooring—because they blend seamlessly and keep doorways looking continuous. They’re widely used for bedrooms, living areas, and bathrooms in homes where the design theme is neutral and elegant rather than high contrast. Beige options look best with honed/matte finishes for a contemporary feel or polished for a classic shine. The most common edge choices are beveled (chamfered) and eased square, with bullnose available when you want a softer rounded transition.

Custom Marble Threshold (Any stone on request)

If you have a specific stone in mind, we provide custom marble thresholds made to your exact requirements—Length × Width × Thickness, finish, and edge profile. You can request:

  • Any color family (white, black, grey, beige, brown, green, etc.)

  • Specific finishes (polished, honed, brushed, anti-slip textured, grooved)

  • Edge profiles (beveled/chamfered, bullnose, square/eased)

  • Special cuts (angle cuts, notches for frames, wider pieces for large transitions)

This option is ideal when you’re matching an existing floor, following an interior designer’s palette, or standardizing thresholds across a full villa/apartment project.

Where Marble Thresholds Are Used

Bathroom Door Marble Threshold

A bathroom door marble threshold is one of the most common applications because it creates a clean transition and helps manage everyday splashes. It’s typically installed between bathroom tile and a different flooring outside (wood, vinyl, tile, or laminate), covering the edge neatly and reducing chances of water reaching the outside floor. For bathrooms, a honed (matte) finish is often preferred for better grip, and a beveled (chamfered) or eased edge is chosen to reduce sharp corners and chipping. If the floor levels differ, the threshold can be supplied as a flat piece or slightly ramped to make the step more comfortable.

Shower Entry Threshold

At shower entries, a marble threshold is used as a water-control barrier and a defined transition at the shower opening. Depending on the bathroom layout, it can function as:

  • A shower curb/step (helps keep water inside the shower zone)

  • A low-profile shower threshold (for a cleaner look and easier stepping)

  • A transition between shower tile and the bathroom floor

For shower entries, the finish and detailing matter more than anywhere else: many customers choose anti-slip textured or honed surfaces, and edges like bullnose or eased profiles for barefoot comfort. Proper installation includes correct leveling/slope and sealing at joints so water doesn’t creep underneath the stone.

Interior Room Doorways

In interior doorways, marble thresholds are used primarily for floor transitions—especially when two rooms have different materials or heights, such as:

  • Tile → wood / laminate

  • Tile → vinyl

  • Tile → carpet

  • Stone-look porcelain → wood

These thresholds create a tidy finished line at the doorway, protect cut edges, and make cleaning easier. For interior spaces, polished is popular when matching glossy stone or tiles, while honed is chosen for a softer, modern look. Edge profiles like eased square and beveled are common because they look clean and resist damage from daily foot traffic and vacuum bumping.

Exterior Doors (if applicable)

Marble thresholds can also be used at exterior doors where a durable stone transition is desired, especially for villas and ground-floor entrances. In this location, the key considerations are slip resistance, weather exposure, and drainage. For safety, a textured anti-slip or grooved (ribbed) surface is typically recommended instead of high-polish finishes. The threshold may be slightly sloped to guide water away from the interior, and installation needs proper sealing and support so the stone doesn’t crack under heavy use. In exposed outdoor areas, stone selection and finish should be chosen with long-term durability in mind.

How to Order

Step 1 — Send Door Opening Photo + Measurements on WhatsApp

To get started, you can simply message us on WhatsApp with:

  • A clear photo of the doorway (both sides if possible)

  • The door opening width (wall-to-wall or tile-to-tile)

  • Your preferred width (2”, 4”, 6”) if you already know it

  • A quick note about where it’s going: bathroom / bedroom / main door / shower entry

If you don’t have measurements, no problem—just send photos and tell us your location, and we’ll guide you step-by-step.

Step 2 — Choose Size / Finish / Edge

Once we see the doorway, we’ll help you choose the right combination:

  • Size (Length × Width × Thickness): matched to your opening and floor levels

  • Finish: polished, honed (matte), or anti-slip for wet areas

  • Edge profile: beveled (chamfered), bullnose, or square/eased

If you’re new and not familiar with the options or pricing, we can arrange a site visit to take measurements ourselves and avoid mistakes.

Step 3 — Confirm Price & Timeline

After confirming the size and finishing details, we’ll share:

  • The final price (supply-only or supply + installation)

  • What’s included (cutting, edging, finishing, fixing materials if installing)

  • The timeline for cutting/prep and scheduling

For customers who want to see materials in person, we can bring stone samples during the site visit so you can select the color and finish confidently before confirming.

Step 4 — Delivery / Installation

We provide delivery and installation in every emirate of the UAE: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. On installation day, we ensure proper alignment, clean finishing at edges, and a neat transition that matches your flooring and door clearance. If you prefer supply-only, we can deliver the threshold ready for your installer as well.

Installation Service

New Installation

For new marble threshold installations, we handle the full process from measurement to final finishing. We first confirm the correct length, width, and thickness based on your doorway and floor levels, then prepare the surface so the threshold sits solid, level, and without rocking. During installation we align the threshold neatly with your tiles/wood edges, maintain the right door clearance, and finish the sides cleanly so the transition looks seamless and feels comfortable underfoot.

Replacement / Removal of Old Threshold

If you already have an existing threshold (marble, granite, wood, or metal) that’s cracked, loose, stained, or outdated, we can remove it and replace it with a new marble threshold. This service typically includes safe removal, cleaning off old adhesive/mortar, correcting minor unevenness in the base, and fitting a new piece with the right sizing and edge profile. The goal is a strong bond and a clean finish—no gaps, no wobble, and a tidy look around the door frame.

Sealing & Waterproofing (Bathrooms)

In bathrooms and wet areas, the details matter. We can provide sealing and waterproof-friendly finishing so water doesn’t seep under or around the threshold. This includes selecting an appropriate finish (often honed or anti-slip for safety), ensuring proper edge finishing, and applying the right sealing at joints where the threshold meets tile or wall edges. This helps reduce common issues like water creeping outside the bathroom, dark moisture marks near the doorway, and premature loosening over time.

Why Choose Us

Quality of Marble & Finishing

We focus on supplying thresholds that look clean in the doorway and stay durable under daily use. Every piece is prepared to the required Length × Width × Thickness with consistent finishing, and we offer practical surface options like polished, honed (matte), and anti-slip for wet areas. Edges are finished properly—beveled (chamfered), bullnose, or square/eased—so the threshold feels comfortable underfoot and reduces the risk of corner chipping. The goal is a neat, premium result that matches the surrounding floor and door frame.

Skilled Installation Team

Thresholds look simple, but bad fixing causes the most common problems: rocking, uneven joints, sharp edges, water seepage, or the door hitting the stone. Our installation team handles the details that matter—proper surface preparation, correct leveling, clean alignment with tiles/wood, and tidy finishing at the sides. We also ensure the threshold height works with door clearance, door sweeps, and floor transitions, so everything closes smoothly and looks professionally finished.

Fast Turnaround

We keep the process easy and quick: share a photo and measurements on WhatsApp (or request a site visit), confirm the size/finish/edge, and we schedule the job. For standard sizes and straightforward cuts, turnaround is typically fast, and for custom cutting we coordinate fabrication and installation without unnecessary delays. We also support larger jobs (multiple doors) with coordinated planning to finish efficiently.

Warranty / After-Sales Support

We stand behind our supply and installation work. If you notice an issue after fitting—such as movement, gaps, or finishing concerns—our after-sales support helps resolve it quickly. We also guide you on basic care such as suitable cleaners, sealing advice for bathrooms, and how to keep the threshold looking its best over time.

 

Ahmed Al Mansoori
Ahmed Al MansooriFacilities Supervisor (Abu Dhabi)
We needed a bathroom door marble threshold replacement in our apartment in Abu Dhabi because the old piece was cracked and rocking. I contacted the team on WhatsApp, shared the door photos and basic measurements, and they replied with options for size, thickness and edging. They recommended a 4” (100mm) honed white marble threshold, 20mm thickness, with a beveled edge for a clean finish and less chipping. They said it would take 3 days including cutting and scheduling, but they completed everything in 2 days. Installation was neat, they aligned it perfectly with the tile edge, and cleaned up properly after fixing. Very smooth experience from booking to completion.
Fatima Al Nuaimi
Fatima Al NuaimiInterior Designer (Dubai)
I was working on a villa project in Dubai and needed consistent door thresholds for multiple rooms. I messaged on WhatsApp, and since the client was not sure about finishes, they arranged a site visit and brought stone samples for selection. We finalized grey marble thresholds for bedroom doorways and a black marble threshold for the main entrance, with a mix of 6” (150mm) and 4” (100mm) widths depending on the doorway, mostly 30mm thickness for a premium feel, with square/eased edges to match the modern style. Timeline given was 7 days, but the full job (fabrication + installation for multiple doors) was completed in 5 days. The team was punctual, coordinated well with other site work, and the finishing quality looked high-end.
Khalid Al Shamsi
Khalid Al ShamsiProject Engineer (Sharjah)
For a renovation in Sharjah, we needed marble thresholds across several bathrooms and internal doors on a tight schedule. We booked through WhatsApp and shared the door schedule; they advised standardizing sizes to keep costs controlled. We installed mainly 2” (50mm) and 4” (100mm) thresholds, 18–20mm thickness, with anti-slip / grooved finishing for bathroom entries and beveled edges for durability. They estimated 10 days for supply and fitting for the full batch, but completed in 7 days, including delivery and installation. Good communication, accurate cutting, and they handled minor site adjustments without delays. After installation, they also guided us on sealing and cleaning, which was helpful.

What size marble threshold do I need for my door?

The right size depends on your door opening width, the flooring type on both sides, and how much coverage you want over the floor edges. Most doorways use:

  • Width: 4” (100mm) as the most common, 2” (50mm) for tight spaces, and 6” (150mm) when you need more coverage or a stronger visual border.

  • Length: Cut to match the finished opening (tile-to-tile / wall-to-wall), usually made to your exact measurement.

  • Thickness: Typically 18mm, 20mm, or 30mm, chosen based on level difference and durability needs.

Polished vs honed — which is better for bathrooms?

For bathrooms, honed (matte) is usually better because it offers a more practical surface that tends to feel less slippery when wet. Polished looks premium and glossy, but in wet zones it can be slick and shows water marks more easily. If the bathroom is used by kids/elderly or gets wet often, honed or anti-slip is the safer choice.

Can you custom cut marble thresholds?

Yes. We custom cut marble thresholds to your required Length × Width × Thickness, and we can also do:

  • Angle cuts (for uneven frames)

  • Notches (for trims/jambs)

  • Edge profiling (beveled/chamfered, bullnose, square/eased)

  • Anti-slip grooves where needed

Do you deliver and install?

Yes, we provide delivery and installation across all UAE emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah.

How long does installation take?

For a typical single doorway, installation is usually quick once the piece is ready. Many jobs are completed the same day as the visit, and multi-door projects are scheduled efficiently based on quantity and site access. If custom cutting is required, the total timeline depends on confirming measurements/specs and fabrication scheduling.

What’s included in the price?

Pricing usually includes the threshold based on size, thickness, finish, and edge profile. If you choose installation, it can include:

  • Site measurement (if required)

  • Supply of the marble threshold

  • Fixing/setting the threshold and alignment

  • Basic finishing at edges/joints (as applicable)
    Delivery, removal of old thresholds, and special cutting can be priced separately depending on the job.


What is the threshold for marble vs quartz?

If you mean which is better for a threshold, both work, but they behave differently:

  • Marble threshold: Classic stone look, good for bathrooms and interiors, but can etch from acidic cleaners and may need sealing.

  • Quartz threshold: Often more stain-resistant and consistent in color, good for clean modern interiors. It’s commonly preferred when you want easier maintenance and uniform appearance.

Is marble good for an entryway?

Marble can be used in entryways, but it needs the right setup:

  • Prefer honed or anti-slip finishes (polished can be slippery)

  • Use beveled edges for durability

  • Keep grit away (dirt acts like sandpaper and can scratch)
    For very heavy outdoor exposure, alternative stones may be considered depending on the exact location and usage.

Which is cheaper, marble or quartz?

It depends on the specific stone and thickness, but for many doorway applications:

  • Standard marble thresholds can be cost-effective and widely available.

  • Quartz can cost more in some cases, especially for thicker or premium brands/finishes.
    The best way is to compare the same size + thickness + edge profile + finish.

How wide should a marble threshold be?

Common widths are:

  • 2” (50mm): minimal transition / tight spaces

  • 4” (100mm): most common for bathrooms and room doors

  • 6” (150mm): wider coverage, better for bigger transitions or premium look
    Choose width based on how much you need to cover the joint/edge and whether the floor heights differ.

How to seal a marble threshold?

A simple, correct sealing approach:

  1. Clean and dry the threshold fully.

  2. Apply a penetrating stone sealer evenly.

  3. Allow it to absorb, then wipe excess off the surface.

  4. Let it cure as per the sealer instructions.
    Bathrooms and wet areas typically benefit from regular sealing to reduce staining.

How thick should a threshold be?

Most common thicknesses are:

  • 18mm: for flush indoor transitions

  • 20mm: the most standard choice for door thresholds

  • 30mm: when you want extra strength, a premium feel, or need to manage height differences

How do you cut a marble threshold?

Marble is typically cut using a wet saw with a diamond blade to reduce chipping and dust. Edge finishing is then done with profiling tools and polishing pads to achieve the required bevel/bullnose/square finish. For best results, cutting should be done by an experienced fabricator to avoid cracks and rough edges.

What is the best material for a shower threshold?

For shower entries, the best material is one that handles water well and stays safe underfoot:

  • Marble (honed or anti-slip) is popular for its look and easy cleaning.

  • Granite is very durable and often more resistant to etching.

  • Quartz can work in some interior shower applications, but many people prefer natural stone or porcelain in wet zones.
