SUN-DOR-CO Door Sills

The door sill is a sloping frame part located at the bottom of the frame. We offer both wood and aluminum types of sills. With the exception of the HYDROSILL™, all sills may be ordered with the brickmold or casing extending down along side the sill or perched on top of horns that extend past either side of the jamb leg.

Solid wood sill

Door sill cross sectionOur solid wood sills are made of White Oak or Genuine Mahogany and glued for width with waterproof glue. We chose to use White Oak because it is far superior to Red Oak, which has open pores and has a greater tendency to rot. Wood sills have a built-in threshold to help prevent water infiltration. Notice the sill has horns on each side of the jamb leg for the brickmold to perch upon.

Aluminum sill with adjustable oak threshold

Metal sills are more durable and the adjustable threshold helps provide a tighter seal across the bottom of the door. This photo depicts the brickmold running along side of the sill.

Available in mill finish (aluminum color), dark bronze and gold anodized finish.

HYDROSILL™

HYDROSILL™

The HYDROSILL™ sill provides a dam across the opening and has a canal below the aluminum sill to allow any water that might have passed around the seal to flow to the outside of the building. The Schlegel Company, the same company that manufactures the original Q-Lon® , Door Seal, makes this type of sill for both in-swing and out-swing applications.

Available in mill finish (aluminum color)and dark bronze.

Deluxe all-vinyl and aluminum with adjustable threshold

Unlike metal sills with wood on the bottom side, all-vinyl and aluminum sills have no wood to rot like sills that have a wood base with an aluminum cover. Each deluxe sill is furnished with a protective cover to prevent damage during construction.

Available in mill finish (aluminum color), dark bronze and gold anodized finish.
