DOOR FRAME AND THRESHOLD ASSEMBLY
A door frame and threshold assembly including a substantially closed reservoir tube having a first plurality of spaced apart weep holes therein and a second plurality of spaced apart weep holes, an interior sill portion arranged on a ceiling of the reservoir tube, the interior sill portion having a first sloped surface having a descending slope arranged in a direction towards the plurality of spaced apart weep holes, and an exterior sill portion at least abutting one of a pair of sidewalls of the closed reservoir tube, the exterior sill portion having a second sloped surface having a descending slope arranged in a direction away from the closed reservoir tube, wherein a channel is formed by the ceiling of the closed reservoir tube, an edge of the interior sill portion, and an edge of the exterior sill portion.

FLUSH TO FLOOR SILL TRACK AND ASSEMBLY FOR SLIDING GLASS WINDOWS
A sill track for sliding panels such as doors or windows in a door jamb or window jamb. The sill track mounts flush to the surrounding floors and has an integrated drainage system for preventing water from penetrating the sill track. The sill track comprises a base having walls to support flooring, a panel track for receiving a guide of a panel, such as wheels of a sliding glass door, and a weep channel wall forming a weep channel for draining water to below a top surface of the sill track. The walls of the base, the panel track and the weep channel wall are configured such that the flooring installed on the sill track, the panel track and the top of the weep channel wall are all flush with the surrounding flooring on the interior and exterior of the sill track.
STRUCTURAL WINDOWSILL ASSEMBLY
A windowsill assembly includes a beam member and an insert bracket. The beam member includes a first leg and a second leg, the first leg meeting the second leg at a joining region at proximal ends of the first leg and the second leg. The insert bracket includes a first portion and a second portion that are substantially perpendicular to each other to substantially match an angle between the first leg and the second leg of the beam member. The insert bracket couples the beam member to a support member.
PANEL SYSTEM FOR SLIDING DOORS OR PANELS
A sliding door or panel system is provided. The system can have a roller assembly that is mounted onto a sill. The system can have a moveable door or panel with a blade extending from a bottom rail of the door or panel. The blade can rest on the rollers and the rollers facilitate the door or panel moving longitudinally along the sill. The sill can be installed below a top surface of a floor, making the system less visible. The system can include a brush insert that protects against debris entering the sill. The brush insert can be removed from the sill to allow access to the rollers.

FLASHING FOR A BUILDING
A sill pan for a building opening has a bottom plate with a first end, a second end, a front edge and a rear edge. An end wall is located at the first end of the bottom plate and extends substantially away from the first end in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate. The end wall has a front edge and a rear edge that are coplanar to the front and rear edges of the bottom plate, respectively. A front skirt and a rear skirt are connected to the front and rear edges, respectively, of the bottom plate and the end wall. The bottom plate, end wall, front skirt, and rear skirt are vacuum formed as a unitary body from a foldable material. The bottom plate is self-supporting in a no-load condition and conformable to a load applied during installation in the building opening.

Threshold and threshold cap
A threshold has a substrate, a sill deck, an upstanding nosing, and an upstanding dam. An upwardly open sill channel is defined between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam. A threshold cap extends along and at least partially overlies the upwardly open sill channel. At least one holder is formed separate from the threshold cap and is located in the upwardly open sill channel between the upstanding dam and the upstanding nosing, the at least one holder at least partially supporting the threshold cap. The holder is removably disposed within the sill channel. The threshold cap is pivotably attached to the holder. The threshold cap is capable of rotating between a raised position and a lowered position. In at least the raised position, a highest point of the threshold cap is closer to the upstanding dam than the upstanding nosing.
Threshold Sill with Removable Barrier Insert
A threshold sill seal assembly useful with glass wall systems is described. The assembly has a sill with a top surface. The threshold sill assembly includes a removable barrier insert that is removably engaged with a cavity provided in the top surface of the sill and has a portion substantially parallel to the movable glass wall that can act as a barrier to the intrusion of environmental conditions.
