Other Exterior Doors

Forest Heights. Notorious for weather related issues among those of us who specialize in all matters related to exterior envelops.

The original residential-grade steel door, sidelight & transom assembly.

Our client reports substantial drafts emanating from between the various components as well as cold air seemingly cascading right off the glass.

Some of the wood components have also begun to show signs of water damage. Our client has done her own research and instructs us to replace the assembly with a Fiberglass version.

The original door assembly is removed.

Improper flashing issues are quickly discovered beneath the door assembly.

And the investigation quickly leads to the further discovery of some water-damaged sheathing in the exterior wall beneath the deck, which we are employed to repair.

The new Therma-Tru Fiberglass door assembly is to be installed with a sill-pan beneath it. Jared is shown here cutting back the deck to facilitate the new aluminum threshold/sill assembly that extends out further than the original.

The door assembly is installed and the interior & exterior trim materials are installed.

A side note would be to mention that the client specified multipoint locks to help hold the door panels tighter together and to hold them tighter to the jamb assembly as well.
