Midwest 81893 Bronze Aluminum Sill Nosing 72 Inches

Product Description

The MIDWEST 81893 is a bronze-finish aluminum sill nosing designed to seal the threshold area at exterior door sills. It creates a protective barrier against drafts, moisture, dust, and insects in residential and light commercial applications. At 72 inches in length and 2.75 inches wide, this nosing covers standard door openings without cutting in most installs. The aluminum construction resists corrosion and holds its shape in all-season conditions. Professional contractors and experienced DIYers use this piece as part of a complete door weathersealing system to reduce air infiltration at the sill plane.

This sill nosing is suited for exterior door installations in residential homes and commercial buildings where the threshold needs reinforcement and sealing. It is applied along the base of door frames to close the gap between the door sill and the floor surface, providing year-round protection from weather infiltration. The bronze finish coordinates with standard door hardware in residential settings.

• Aluminum construction resists corrosion and physical wear at the door sill

• 72-inch length covers standard and slightly oversized door openings

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a general contractor, finish carpenter, or experienced DIYer using basic hand tools. Remove the existing sill nosing or trim the piece to the required door opening width before fastening. Ensure the door sill surface is clean and dry prior to securing the nosing to prevent moisture from being trapped beneath it. Follow local building codes for exterior envelope sealing requirements.
