The upstairs terrace door needed some work.
Not just that, when it rains we always have a puddle of water behind that door.
Engineer Jansen has spotted why. Can you spot it too?
Congratulations, you spotted the ansteystyle gap.
Here is a solution. An iron T-bar was added to the door threshold, so the gap is removed. The door now rests against the T-bar, no gap.
To keep water out of the house, at the bottom of the door there now is an aluminium profile that makes water fall off on the outside of the T-bar.
A little silicone for water proofing.
Hm, the alu profile is a bit off the door at the lower part. However, there is some silicone there.
If it rains very very hard water may still get in, there still is a small gap at the side:
If that happens the engineer will add a tiny extra aluminium profile.
