- Gregg Hoyer walks you through the sill options available to you when building an exterior door unit and the pros and cons of each. If you want your door unit to last, make sure the subsill is made from a composite material.

Excellent and concise description of each sill type. Would have loved to see how the door interfaces with the ADA compliant sill and a better explanation as to why it may not be as weather tight as a traditional raised sill. Really though, it is the best video out there explaining types and limitations.
This video is so good it is exemplory. It crushes it. Watching it will have you educated and grateful, but ruined! Thank you.
Great Video. Thanks for putting this together and explaining the use cases!
Boy, this is good advise on the subsill, you never know what junk you're buying until your door is flipped over to expose untreated pine.
Great video, I have two Reeb French Doors, and I learned that the contractor installed the two French door’s Sill Pans using Silicone and not A HIGH QUALITY POLYMER like OSI QUAD MAX recommended by Reeb. Can we replace the Still Pans (entire threshold)?
Can more than one sill nosing (extension) be attached (one in front of the other) to make an extra, extra deep sill?
Gracias gracias 😊
Where could I purchase the first style of non-adjustable aluminum sill shown in this video? Need manufacturer, model...
should show profiles of ALL examples
What is your "composite" subsill made out of? Some composites are fine others swell and deteriorate even faster than treated wood.
Links to these products would have been very handy.
thank you
I could have used more info on sill replacement and how to identify what you are repacing
My contractor installed the sill with the wood on the bottom in my garage side door. The door feeds directly level from my slab to a sidewalk, so the sill sits on the concrete. Needless to say the moisture has already rotted not only the sill, but the doorway around it at the bottom. Is the composite material able to withstand moisture conditions like this?
composite will not rot
I enjoyed watching your explanation about various door sill types but I do not understand one thing. The word composite is referred to many times but I did not hear the definition of the word composite. What is composite? does that mean plastic, fiberglass, a artificial wood?
The only thought that I have is it refers to some sort of plastic.
Sorry, I'm am not an industry person. Thank you for the explanation otherwise.
In the context of door sills, "composite" refers to a material made by combining various elements, including fiberglass, wood fibers, and resins. It's not plastic; it's a blend of materials chosen for their durability and other beneficial properties.
Hi
Anyone who uses the term "price point" always loses a chunk of credibility in my mind. In my experience, they're always sales people, the kind for whom "price" simply doesn't sound sufficiently sophisticated... for no good reason. In short, the less you value words, the less I value what you say. It's not the phrase _per se;_ it's just a rule of thumb about the mentality.
Buddy, it's called price point because it was designed by the manufacturer to hit that "price point". Sure, the manufacturer usually wants to make the best product they can... but they are limiting themselves to a certain price point, price bracket, price range... whatever you want to call it. No, they are not limiting themselves to a certain price - that would be foolish in this market. The market is not sensitive enough to be exactly at some specific price, such as a commodity. Thus, price point exactly describes what he means.
@@JFirn86Q: You're describing a "price range". There's a difference between a range and a point; words have meanings.
Pointless faux-jargon like "price point" is just a way for some people to pretend they're being more technical or specific than they are. I suspect they worry that normal words and plain speech sound less technical.
(I did get a good chuckle out of your definition, though. Thank you for that. If I understood you correctly, you essentially wrote, "It's called a price point because someone else calls it a price point, but it's not a point; it's a range. It'd be ridiculous for a price point to be a point. So it's a price range, and that's why it's a price point.")
@@ncooty Of course words have meanings, not sure what you are on about with "way for some people to pretend" or not valuing words. Your argument there makes no sense unfortunately.
Price range could be used, if you prefer. I'm astonished you could be offended for someone using price point instead of price range.
Furthermore, price point is not a "pointless faux-jargon". It is a well defined principle in basic microeconomics. Looks into it if you'd like, wikipedia has a good article on that term.
Sure, my definition was recursive to highlight the absurdity of your argument.
If this is all that ails you in this world, then you got it pretty good.
