We offer a full spectrum of solutions for our swing and sliding sill conditions. Most are custom solutions for the variety of conditions we have experienced in our projects. Each project's requirements influence the final design and we document this during the shop drawing process. Whenever possible sill and threshold conditions are developed to create the minimal transition between interior and exterior walking surfaces.
Inswing doors need design development to make sure the raised portion of the threshold offers the best walk through solution in concert with the best water protection solution.
Water return thresholds are designed to catch any water which may blow or run under the door and return it to the outside through interior weep holes, down the sloped drain pan, and out exterior weep holes.
Stepped profile is particularly redolent of traditional fenestration dating back to the early 20th century, fitting well into heritage refurbishments but also offers a clean-cur aesthetic equally at home with contemporary designs and works perfectly as a door sill for prevent the entry of water, as well as wind, hermetically sealing the door.
We provide a full range of solutions for threshold conditions. Most of them are customized solutions for the various conditions we encounter in the project. The requirements of each project will affect the final design, and we will record this during the workshop drawing process
ALUMINUM DOOR SILL
ALUMINUM THERMALLY BROKEN - DOOR SILL
SOLID GALVANIZED STEEL "L" - DOOR SILL
The swing door has a step between the outer floor and the inner floor. The use of stainless steel "L" belts as the transition area between the surfaces can naturally form 1/2 inch steps. For typical weather conditions, this is a good detail. Different sizes of "L"-shaped cable ties may increase the space under the stone. When needed, a flat strip can be used instead of the "L"-shaped tie to completely hide the tie.
STEPPED OUTSWING - DOOR SILL
The stepped profile especially dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. It is suitable for traditional window openings and is very suitable for traditional decoration. At the same time, it can also provide a pure home-like aesthetic effect in modern design, and can be perfectly used as a threshold to prevent water from entering and windproof, seal the door.
When using bottom rolling sliding door hardware, the bottom track is set 1/4 inch above the finished floor. Each track is connected to a drainage channel along the length of the track. The drain pipe is inserted into the bottom to drain the excess water. Drainage assessments should be made for extreme weather exposure. You can add other drainage equipment to the standard track, and add other drainage channels to the entire track system.

The threshold of the pivoting doors is similar to that of the swing doors. This type of door has a hydraulic system that adapts to any type of installation, being hidden in the floor for an impeccable appearance.
