Pemko Saddle Thresholds

Key Features

• Multiple width options: available in 2”,4”,5”,6”,7”,8”,9”,10", 12", and other standard commercial widths to match door frame specifications and opening sizes.
• Varied height profiles: ranging from 1/4" low-profile (minimal tripping hazard) to 1/2" higher rise (better water drainage and weather sealing).
• Fluted or flat top surfaces: fluted profiles provide slip-resistant traction while channeling water away; flat profiles offer smooth transitions for wheeled traffic.
• Fire-rated & ADA compliant: tested and listed for labeled fire doors and meets ADAAG-2010 requirements with overall height ≤ 1/2".
• BHMA certified performance: tested per ANSI/BHMA A156.21 for thresholds, ensuring durability, weather resistance, and long-term reliability.
• Standard commercial lengths: offered in 36", 48", 72", and 96" lengths for single and double door applications.
• Finish variety: available in mill finish (6A), dark bronze anodized (D), and black to coordinate with door hardware and architectural aesthetics.

Key Benefits

• Prevents water and air infiltration by creating a raised, sealed barrier that blocks rain, wind-driven moisture, dust, and drafts from entering the building.
• Ensures ADA compliance with barrier-free designs that accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, carts, and rolling equipment while minimizing tripping hazards.
• Supports fire code compliance on labeled fire door assemblies where rated thresholds are required for fire and smoke protection.
• Improves energy efficiency by reducing air leakage at the doorway, lowering HVAC costs and enhancing building envelope performance.
• Extends door system life by protecting door bottoms, frames, and flooring from moisture damage, corrosion, and wear from foot traffic.
• Flexible installation on uneven floor surfaces, bridging gaps between tile, carpet, concrete, and other flooring materials.

Applications

• Commercial entrance doors in retail stores, office buildings, and shopping centers requiring weather-sealed ADA transitions.
• Healthcare & senior living facilities where smooth, slip-resistant transitions support patient mobility, medical carts, and housekeeping equipment.
• Educational institutions (schools, universities, libraries) with high-traffic doors needing durable, fire-rated, ADA-compliant thresholds.
• Government & municipal buildings requiring BHMA-certified, fire-rated thresholds for code compliance and long-term durability.
• Buildings with uneven flooring where thresholds bridge transitions between different floor materials (tile-to-carpet, concrete-to-wood).
