Entryway system including a threshold assembly

A threshold assembly for disposition below a closure, said threshold assembly comprising:

• a sill having an entry portion sloping downwardly from a proximate end to a distal end for preventing water from migrating across said threshold assembly;
• a first water defense mechanism including a first wall extending upwardly from said proximate end of said entry portion for preventing water from migrating past said first wall across said threshold assembly;
• a second water defense mechanism including a second wall positioned opposite said entry portion relative to said first wall and extending upwardly from said sill along said first wall defining a channel between said first and second walls for preventing water from migrating past said second wall across said threshold assembly;
• a third water defense mechanism including a platform disposed above said proximate end of said entry portion and extending from said second wall in a direction away from said entry portion with said platform defining a groove for directing water along said groove;
• and
• a base disposed beneath said sill and having a sloped floor and support walls extending upwardly from said sloped floor with said support walls defining drain paths for directing water along said sloped floor;
• said platform defining a groove and a hole along said groove with said hole in fluid communication with said drain paths of said base for directing water toward said drain paths.

An entryway system comprising:

• a threshold assembly including a sill for disposition below a door;
• said sill having a first end and a second end spaced from each other and having an entry portion sloping downwardly from a proximate end to a distal end between said first and second ends;
• a first jamb pedestal disposed at said first end of said sill and a second jamb pedestal disposed at said second end of said sill with each jamb pedestal extending upwardly above said sill presenting a support surface spaced above said proximate end of said sill;
• a first jamb supported on said support surface of said first jamb pedestal;
• a second jamb supported on said support surface of said second jamb pedestal;
• a first wall extending upwardly from said proximate end of said entry portion between said first and second jamb pedestals;
• a second wall extending upwardly from said sill and along said first wall between said first and second jamb pedestals to define a channel extending longitudinally between said first and second jamb pedestals;
• said first wall defining an opening which establishes fluid communication from said channel to said entry portion of said sill between said first and second jamb pedestals for directing water from said channel away from said threshold assembly along said entry portion;
• a base disposed beneath said sill and having a sloped floor and support walls extending upwardly from said sloped floor with said support walls defining drain paths for directing water along said sloped floor;
• and
• a platform extending from said second wall in a direction away from said entry portion and defining a groove and a hole along said groove with said hole in fluid communication with said drain paths of said base for directing water toward said drain paths.

A threshold assembly for disposition below a closure, said threshold assembly comprising:

• a sill having a first end and a second end spaced from each other and having an entry portion sloping downwardly from a proximate end to a distal end between said first and second ends;
• a first jamb pedestal disposed at said first end of said sill;
• a second jamb pedestal disposed at said second end of said sill;
• each of said first and second jamb pedestals including a pedestal portion extending upwardly above said sill;
• a first wall extending upwardly from said proximate end of said entry portion;
• a second wall extending upwardly from said sill and along said first wall to define a channel;
• a base extending from said first jamb pedestal to said second jamb pedestal with said sill supported by at least one of said first jamb pedestal, said second jamb pedestal, and said base;
• each of said first and second jamb pedestals including an extension portion extending from said pedestal portion to said base and joined to said base along a water impervious joint;
• a base disposed beneath said sill and having a sloped floor and support walls extending upwardly from said sloped floor with said support walls defining drain paths for directing water along said sloped floor;
• and
• a platform extending from said second wall in a direction away from said entry portion and defining a groove and a hole along said groove with said hole in fluid communication with said drain paths of said base for directing water toward said drain paths.
