Doors and windows are the most-used parts of your building. Choosing and installing them correctly pays off every single day.

Pro Tip #259: Door Threshold Selection

Choose a door threshold that matches your floor surface. Aluminum thresholds work well on concrete. Rubber thresholds provide better sealing but wear faster. Interlocking thresholds provide the best seal but require precise installation. Match the threshold to your use case.
