What type of sill do I have?

Sills are available in a few categories, including Traditional, Adjustable, Articulating and Bumper.

  • Traditional Sills: The key feature of these sills is the wood substrate, located under the aluminum sill deck.
  • Adjustable Sills: The key feature of these sills is ability to adjust a sill cap upwards or downwards to better seal against the door panel.
  • Articulating Sills: The key feature of these sills is the spring-loaded sill cap that automatically adjusts upward or downward to better seal against the door panel.
  • Bumper Sills: The key feature of these sills is the weatherstrip "bumper" inserted into the cap that an outswing door will swing against.
