I am just trying to work out where I stand. I have recently had a composite door fitted replacing the old wooden one. They have fitted a low profile threshold (part m compliant?) but the door shape does not match this.
They say that this is how it is with low profile thresholds. (We didnt ask for a low profile threshold) .
I am thinking I could pull the company up on the fact that rain potential could come through the gap, isulation is poor or can I just pull them up on the fact it looks plain daft. I am checking the paperwork to see if it states what type threshold, even if it does state this surely there should not be a 2 cm gap (door measured & manufactured wrong?)
Is there any legal or standards issues I could pull them up on. They are a reputable company have all the BSi , PAS23/24 Part M Part L Secured by Design etc but they obviously would like the cheaper option of telling us that that is how the door has to be.
have tried a (very)basic diagram or the front door before and afterwards
old set up
new set up (gap approx 20mm in height going back 40/50mm)
mant thanks in advance
