Thermwell WAT36HR Oak Exterior Saddle Threshold 36 Inches

Product Description

The THERMWELL WAT36HR is a clear oak high rug exterior saddle threshold measuring 3.5 inches wide, 1.0625 inches tall, and 36 inches long. It is designed for use at exterior door openings where a transition between flooring surfaces requires a durable, finished wood barrier. The saddle profile accommodates door bottoms and helps reduce drafts and debris entry at the threshold plane. Carpenters, general contractors, and skilled trades installers handle this component as part of door rough-in or replacement work. The clear oak construction accepts stain or paint, allowing it to be finished to match the surrounding door frame or floor trim.

This threshold is suited for residential exterior door installations, including entry doors, side doors, and back doors. It works in both new construction framing and retrofit replacement applications where an existing threshold has deteriorated or does not meet current weatherproofing requirements. The WAT36HR is specified for use with Frost King door bottoms, making it a compatible pairing when sourcing door bottom and threshold components together for a complete door seal assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter or general contractor as part of door assembly or weatherproofing work. Power down any electrically operated door hardware before beginning threshold work, and ensure the door is propped securely. The threshold should be fastened per local building code requirements, and any gaps between the threshold and subfloor should be sealed to prevent moisture infiltration. Do not force-fit the threshold against the door bottom sweep, as this can cause premature wear on both components.
