Threshold gasket assembly
The present invention is a threshold gasket assembly to be used in conjunction with end and/or back dams to form a sill pan. The threshold gasket assembly is fixed to a lower region of a rough opening in a wall and comprises a base with a plurality of fins projecting away from base to form a corresponding plurality of channels with a length generally the same as a base. Base has a generally L shaped cross section. At least two fins are sufficiently spaced from another to prevent contact with each other thereby simultaneously ensuring that moisture is dammed by at least one fin and directed by at least a portion of an adjacent channel.

Installation method
Needless repairs can be avoided, and energy savings can be achieved, through installation of windows using methods that incorporate the use of extruded water-resistant foam, bonding tape covering the flanges and fasteners or windows and building wrap covering the bonding tape. This system becomes part of the window, system to improve strength, air and moisture penetration Also eliminating the building wrap bonding tape at the head prevents trapping moisture behind build bonding tape. This system eliminates all voids around the window and frame and becomes part of the structure of the window, etc.
