Description
To maintain optimal performance, correct installation and precise alignment of the sash and frame are crucial. Gaskets, weatherstrips, and sealants must be carefully selected and regularly inspected to ensure continued effectiveness. In addition, proper drainage and water management around thresholds prevent water ingress and long-term damage. ENCRAFT also recommends integrating thermal breaks in threshold designs to minimize heat transfer, supporting energy efficiency. Where low thresholds are implemented, slight adjustments to flooring or ramping may be necessary to maintain accessibility without compromising sealing. Aluminum’s resistance to corrosion and wear ensures thresholds remain functional and visually appealing over time.
Low Threshold Doors
Low Threshold Doors
High performance in terms of air and water tightness, dust, insects, sound reduction requires sealing of the full sash perimeter. Any low threshold or threshold-less arrangement will compromise the performance aim but traditional living habits combined with ergonomics are today’s overriding factors for fenestration. ENCRAFT is offering, wherever possible, Aluminum low threshold solutions or provide suggestions on how to prepare ground levels to hide the unwanted, high frame up stand associated with Fold & Slide Patio Doors and Tilt & Slide Patio Doors. ENCRAFT has chosen purposely Aluminum thresholds with silver anodized finish to provide a hardwearing foundation for years of product durability.
