Door Threshold / FFL

Change supplier.

To be fair, first video I looked at this morning by the supplier with fresh eyes I think spells out the issue.......

Horrific threshold detail.
Seek out a proper supplier that fits sills to their doors.

As always @noseall thanks for the sense check.

Can anyone recommend a reputable aluminium door supplier, or have you opted for composite owing to similar issues like this/condensation concerns?

Thanks

Find a local door/window company and one that you can discuss FFL's with.
I'm guessing the door opens in?

Hi @noseall, yes. The door opens inwards.
I've a good local supplier but by his own admission states I would be able to better price/function/performance wise than their offering.

Been looking at Welthaus, very, very competitively priced with a decent lead time and good reviews from self builders on the forums. I may look to use that as leverage with local fitters but I don't want to be wasting their time.

I think their threshold offering is far more sensible and what you were referring to (see attached).

In terms of FFL would it be acceptable to remove a course of bricks and then use one of their aluminium riser/packer options under the threshold to achieve the right height for a semi flush FFL?
