Abstract
A threshold assembly is used with an entryway system disposed within an aperture of a structure. The threshold assembly includes a sill extending along an axis between exterior and interior sides. The sill at least partially defines a sill channel between the exterior and interior sides which is adapted for accepting a fluid. The threshold assembly includes a rail coupled to and disposed above the sill base. The rail has a drainage wall adjacent the exterior side and at least partially defining the sill channel. The rail at least partially defines a rail channel between the exterior and interior sides, and above the sill channel, which is adapted for accepting the fluid. The rail defines a channel passageway. The drainage wall defines a drainage passageway. The rail channel, the channel passageway, the sill channel, and the drainage passageway at least partially define a drainage plane.
