Door Thresholds

A door threshold is an essential factor in the energy efficiency of a home or building. It also has several different purposes at the entrance area. A threshold must be replaced or enhanced if it becomes damaged from use or when installing new doors that require a different type of threshold than previously used.

The door threshold’s primary purpose is to act as a seal beneath the door to protect against heat in the summer and cold in the winter. The threshold protects the interior from drafts that would otherwise flow inside. This helps businesses and organizations avoid unnecessary energy costs. The threshold also shields the interior from outside noises and rainwater, which often finds its way into the entry area.
