Hi all,

At the bottom of exterior doors there's usually a piece of wood profiled
so as to direct the rain away from the door frame (normally has a groove
underneath so the drips can't find their way back inside under the door.
What's the name for this bit of wood, please?
TIA.

drip strip, weather strip.

I always thought it was a weather bar.

Never properly sealed if fitted by a 'pro' which is
why it always rots away first.

Seal all cut surfaces of the weather bar/strip and the bottom
of the door and then attach to the door and decorate as usual.

A bead of silicon along the top joint helps too.
