NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT Pollard Windows Introduces The Sweepless Door with Exclusive Water Trap Sill Design Vinyl Casing    Burlington, Ontario. January 12, 2005: Pollard Windows, Inc., manufacturer of high-quality Liberty Collection vinyl clad wood windows, Advantage Line all vinyl windows and French clad hinged doors, introduces the sweepless door system. “We are always looking at new ways to improve our products to give customers more maintenance-free benefits and value”, says Karen Pollard-Josling director of marketing for Pollard Windows. “By removing the sweep we have eliminated sweep tears or adjustments while still achieving a tight weather seal.” The sill and door work together to eliminate the need for a door sweep. Constructed of durable 1/16th" aluminum, the new door sill has raised ribs for good traction and a tight weatherproof seal. Its unique water trap design captures driving rain in a PVC channel which releases the water outside through a covered weep hole. A PVC subsill prevents moisture from coming in contact with the wood frame, and a continuous sill running under the jambs put a stop to jamb rot.
