Miscellaneous Repairs & Modifications

Southwest of the town of Willamette. Although formally known as West Linn.

A door and sidelight assembly in need of some tune-up services.

The threshold is looking its age. The wood sill is extremely weathered & the door no longer has any weather-stripping on the bottom.

The original sidelights consisted of single-pane glass, and only one of them had this after-market art-glass insert (partially shown above) because the other one had been broken.

So the plan was to upgrade the single-pane sidelight glass to insulated glass, which we did.

David Castro replaces the Z41 zinc weather-stripping hook on the bottom of the door…

…while technician Steve Hilt goes about the tedious, yet critical process of carefully masking off the various seams between the aluminum threshold, sill nosings & the wood jamb components.

This is the end result. Makes it look like someone knew what they were doing. If interested, you may want to click on the photo to enlarge it so you see caulking job.

What we installed was a Pemko 327D Sill Nosing, a 324D Sill Nosing and 145D interlocking aluminum threshold.

It is our opinion that the anodized-bronze color not only wears better than the mill-finish, but it also tends to compliment the tones of (for example) the brown-painted jamb assembly, as well as the stonework. It actually goes with just about anything.
