Head Pictorial
Jamb Pictorial
Head/Jamb Detail Since head and jamb details are very similar, jamb detail often omitted and a label is placed on the drawing: JAMB SIMILAR
Sill Pictorial threshold commonly are aluminum or oak material gasket to keep draft out, materials: rubber neoprene felt, sponge plastic angled/sloped to keep out moisture
Sill Detail
Weatherproofing Adding material around perimeter of door to prevent dirt, air, light, or sound from entering Types of materials used rubber felt fabric neoprene/vinyl sponge plastic metal
