Upvc door help and questions

nothing wrong with that door. the vertical piece is wider than the horizontal because ( my guess) is that the hinges are there. So you can open the door fully when fitted. If they didn't do that, hinges would interfere with internal plaster. whoever came didn't want the door

keep advertising it, you'll sell it but I doubt for very much sadly

 

That open section on the frame is for drainage.

 

Rubbish. For heaven's sake.

 

Rubbish. For heaven's sake.

 

Yes it is.

 

It's a DIY drainage job - and incorrect. Also filled with silicone!

 

There is something about that, that's not right for a new frame, its been cut badly and as you say full of silicon. Why??

 

I'll tell you why. Firstly, some fool has bodge-cut that thinking that it will drain out. Where will it drain to? The cavity.
Ooops. So with a second thought, the fool seals up the cavity end of the cut and just leaves a front vent which he thinks can run out on to the sill. He's wrong on all counts.

 

You would never have drain-holes on the corner/ends.

 

Isn't there supposed to be a cill or threshold?

 

Not familiar with UPVC windows. But ordered windows here for house and drainage could be concealed or face.

As we have terracotta tile cills there was no need for a cill or sub cill so just select 'face drainage'. Which has slots in the front of the frame.

 

If you asked for no cill then that door is totally wrong, it should be a low threshold frame which is only about 15mm high.



Something along these lines.

 

If you think about it, that answer makes sense, but the execution of it is not good.
