Custom Engineered Door System backed by lean sigma manufacturing consulting, performance guarantees and installation warrantyTRANSCRIPT

Entry component systems from
To us, the idea thatentry system componentsshould be tightly integratedis nothing new.
We’ve always made them that way.
2
Our entry components are:
• Engineered to complement & reinforce each other
• Engineered to higher standards
• Engineered as a total entry solution

THIS IS
4
• A SYSTEM of precisely engineered components that OUTPERFORM competing products
• A tiered system, allowing customers to choose performance options
• Third party certifications prove EES superiority
• A simple, bold guarantee — we share our confidence in our product with you
• Customer-Specific Engineering Support
from Inception to Installation.
Before we show you the superiority of an I2I Guaranteed System,
we’ll put our guarantee up front.
THE GUARANTEE
Some door component manufacturers talk a good game about the performance of their system, but their promise is empty and full of loopholes.
Our guarantee is straightfoward — if you build the unit correctly, build it to specification, and install it correctly, it will not fail.*
And if it does, we will either pay for the repair or we will give you replacement parts free of charge and a $300 credit for your trouble.† It's that simple.
*Failure is defined as not performing to the tested criteria as defined in the accompanying engineering dossier.†Subject to a one-time system payout

Our I2I Entry Solutions are superior
not only in their overall integration,
flexibility, & guarantee.
We really sweat the details.

ImperiSeal™ 1/16" downward adjustment
Countersunk screws provide for tight door bottom-to-rail seal
Natural-looking composites
One-piece screw provides long life and ease of adjustment
Cellular PVC rail is extremely resilient to stress andtemperature changes
Also available with a solid wood base and an adjustable hardwood nose and rail. Rail tape is applied over allhardwood adjustable rail sills.*Option – Sill Covers are available.

Metal nuts in wood base“wallow out” and cause leaking
Fins flip down when adjusted downward, creating leaks
No composite base with wood nose and rail
Screw caps deform the sweep and create a leak point

22 Sweep
EZ Pad
• Sold loose• Sold installed on pad• Seals most difficult area to seal and does so without caulk• Easy to use• Saves 2 steps of labor
EZ Pad
22 SweepThe 22 sweep outperforms all other sweeps by maintaining maximum surface area contact to the threshold rail. It is a reversible sweep with two bubbles which encapsulate the outside and inside edges of the rail. The two fins lay between. The spacing of the fins make it ideal for applications that use three point locking mechanisms because the bolt fits between the fins and eliminates the need to cut valuable sealing mediums.
EZ PadEZ Pad is a revolutionary new product that seals the most difficult area on any doorsystem: the top end of the sweep. Just peelthe backing tape and mallet into place.Sweep installation and water tight sealing has never been easier.
22 Sweep and EZ Pad SWEEP THE COMPETITION
How it works:
10
Leading Edge™ Corner Pads The best performing padon the market
All door systems have a straw effect behind the weatherstrip that will result in leaks under stormy conditions. Others try to clumsily plug the “straw.”In doing so they actuallyaccelerate the effect bydamaging the weathership. The Leading EdgeTM Pad counters this by altering pressure.

11
Leading Edge™ Corner Pad: WHY IT WORKS
The Leading Edge™ Pad counters the “straw effect”not by plugging the straw but by altering pressure.
Vorticity Dynamics
Vorticity Dynamics — relevant equations:
v(x,t) is a velocity field describing the fluid’s flow for every instant, p(x,t) is the pressure distribution and is the density. Equation (1) represents a law of mass conservation. The amount of fluid entering any given volume must equal the amount of fluid going out. Equation (2) is the Fluid Mechanics equivalent to Newton’s second law F=ma. The existence of a gradient of pressures inside the fluid gives rise to a flow v which seeks to eliminate it.

“ENHANCED TECHNIQUES”
We constantly improve our products. We have invested much timeand capital creating the industry’s TOUGHEST TEST FACILITIES.Our goal is to ELIMINATE call backs and hassles for you.

Air/Water DP40 is our EES minimum performance standard.
Our competitors often struggleto hit DP15.
Many of our customers have told us that since they have signed up forthe EES program they now have ZERO call backs and leaking doors.
