Now install the window sill for driving rain.
Our petWALK pet doors have a large collecting duct
for driving rain with two front drain holes. This
ensures that even large amounts of rain at high wind
speeds of up to 160 km/h can be reliably drained to
the outside.
This corresponds to class E1050 according to the
standard EN12208-1999-11 for windows, for doors.
The rainwater is lead invisibly between the outer
frame and the decorative cover to the lower edge of
the door module.
Installation into a wall reveal:
We strongly
recommend the installation of a weather sheet on the
mounting frame as shown in picture below. This will
prevent, that rainwater runs down or into the wall.
The windowsill can be mounted on the mounting
frame or on the wall below the outer frame.
Frame insulated mounting
, i.e. the doorframe is covered by the thermal insulation of the
building:
Because of the outlet for driving rain the doorframe must only be over-insulated at the sides and
on top. The lower part of the frame must remain free. The weather sheet will be, as shown
above, attached at the mounting frame or the masonry.
If you are absolutely sure that no rain can reach the pet door, you can also insulate the lower
part of the frame. But be careful, water can soak into the masonry, when splashing on the door
panel.
