I need 3x deep thresholds 18" x 38" , 18" x 72" , and 18" x 84"

An idea:
A 1.5" thick PVC board built-up base (Lowes) (strong for moving appliances into house).

On top, Porcelain tile or smooth top rocks, like a shower base might have. Stuck in a base of Mold resistant silicone, this has been used with success in showers.

Thermal conductivity (W/mK)
PVC = .19
concrete = 1.5

concrete conducts heat about 7.9 x PVC
