Bi-fold Door Threshold Drainage Works Efficiently

When considering door threshold drain options, you will naturally seek an attractive solution that also offers value for money.

When you do, the need to choose a drain that will drain the water from your door track, becomes clear.

Dedicated bi-fold / sliding door threshold drainage channel products deliver the best solution on the market. By integrating with the weep holes that are found within the track of the door system, the R-47 Threshold Drain will effectively collect the water and redirect it to the groundwork pipes and away from the property. This is achieved courtesy of a side entry and membrane sleeve.

As well as providing a flush threshold drain for doors that looks great, it stops water from finding its way into the home. This subsequently stops water damage to the track or other parts of the sliding doors, as well as the flooring on the internal side of the door. Avoiding moisture also reduces the risk of mould growth.

Aside from protecting your property, an efficient drainage threshold will save you from having to wipe a towel around the bottom of the sliding door. For added convenience and comfort, a threshold drain channel is the best choice by far.

A threshold drain channel that integrates with the track allows you to create a level look that makes patios and other outside settings look even better. On a side note, removing the step down into the garden area also removes a potential trip hazard for, children and older relatives. So, it’s an ideal choice for safety as well as aesthetics.

Whether the sliding door is open or shut, threshold drains are a great choice that provides a visually pleasing finish to your project - not least because those benefits can be enjoyed from both the inside looking out and the outside looking in.

Crucially, a threshold drain channel can incorporate corner sections to provide even greater aesthetic flexibility. Meanwhile, the spigots can be positioned anywhere to connect with 50mm or 110mm pipes.
