An entryway system includes an elongated threshold assembly and a pair of plastic jamb boots attached to the ends of the threshold assembly. The jamb boots have flat level upper faces and a pair of jambs having square-cut bottoms are secured to the jamb boots and extend upwardly from the threshold assembly. A head jamb completes a door frame. The jamb boots may be formed with integral drains that receive water from within the threshold cap channel of the threshold assembly and direct it away from the entryway. The plastic jamb boots prevent rotting and eliminate the need to mill the bottoms of jambs with haunches configured to fit the threshold assembly. Plastic mull post boots also are provided for supporting square-cut bottom mull posts in sidelight or double door entryways.
An entry system comprising a threshold assembly having ends, a jamb boot attached to each of said ends of said threshold assembly, a pair of jambs each having top and bottom ends, each jamb resting at its bottom end on a respective one of said jamb boots, a head jamb spanning said top ends of said jambs to form an entryway frame, and a door mounted in said entryway frame, and wherein each of said jamb boots projects upwardly from said threshold assembly to an upper surface of said jamb boot, said jamb bottoms resting on said upper surfaces of said jamb boots with no part of said jamb bottoms resting on said threshold assembly.
An entryway system comprising a threshold assembly having ends, a jamb boot attached to each of said ends of said threshold assembly, a pair of jambs each having top and bottom ends, each jamb resting at its bottom end on a respective one of said jamb boots, a head jamb spanning said top ends of said jambs to form an entryway frame, and a door mounted in said entryway frame, wherein each of said jamb boots includes a jamb plate that rests on a sub-floor on which said entryway system is installed, said jamb bottoms resting on said jamb plates, and wherein said jamb plates are formed with reservoirs beneath said jamb bottoms for collecting water and a weep hole for directing collected water away from said entryway system.
An entryway system comprising a threshold assembly having ends, a jamb boot attached to each of said ends of said threshold assembly, a pair of jambs each having top and bottom ends, each jamb resting at its bottom end on a respective one of said jamb boots, a head jamb spanning said top ends of said jambs to form an entryway frame, and a door mounted on said entryway frame, wherein said threshold assembly is formed with a channel at each of its ends and wherein each of said jamb boots is formed with at least one attachment and support block disposed in said channel thereby attaching said jamb boot to said threshold assembly, and wherein said attachment and support block is held in said channel with an adhesive.
