The side light has been replaced under warranty, and now new sheet metal and casings are being installed. However, the new threshold plate differs from the "older" one. It is 2-3 cm wider and has an extra 20-degree bend at the end. Additionally, the edges are not folded. According to the manufacturer, this is how it is supposed to look, but it also means the slope is considerably worse.
We have had extensive leakage damage under the door threshold, so it is now especially important that this is done properly. The plate will be glued and sealed well. The steps it will be placed on have the correct slope, i.e., away from the door.
This is what the slope looks like when pressed into place:
The previous plate was sloped considerably more.
Here you can see the difference in width:
The previous plate was folded at the edges in the following way, which the sheet metal worker says is a sign of poorly done work.
A wider plate also means a greater risk of stepping on it.
The question now is whether it should look like this with such a low slope, or if we should get a new one made that resembles the old one more?
