Construction and Materials
National Guard Products offers a range of thresholds designed to provide a durable and effective seal at the base of a door. These thresholds are engineered for performance and longevity, ensuring a barrier against drafts, moisture, and debris while maintaining ease of passage.
The construction of National Guard Products' thresholds typically involves robust materials chosen for their resistance to wear and environmental factors. Common materials include:
- Aluminum: Extruded aluminum is a primary material, prized for its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to be formed into various profiles. It provides a solid foundation for the threshold.
- Stainless Steel: In applications requiring superior durability and resistance to harsh conditions, stainless steel is utilized. Its inherent strength and corrosion resistance make it ideal for high-traffic areas or environments prone to moisture.
- Extruded Vinyl/Nitrile (for inserts/gaskets): Many thresholds incorporate a flexible sealing element. This is often made from extruded vinyl or nitrile rubber. These materials are chosen for their elasticity, weatherability, and ability to create a tight seal against the bottom of the door.
The design of these thresholds often features:
- Raised surfaces or slopes: To facilitate water drainage away from the door opening.
- Interlocking or grooved channels: To accommodate and secure the vinyl or nitrile inserts, ensuring they remain in place and provide an effective seal.
- Secure fastening points: Pre-drilled holes or other provisions for easy and secure installation to the floor.
- Variety of profiles: Available in different heights and shapes to suit various door types, frame configurations, and accessibility requirements.
The specific materials and construction details can vary depending on the model, with each designed to meet different performance standards and environmental demands.
