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.

Weather strip. Not convinced they do very much, though. As wind can blow
rain under them. Better to fit a decent modern threshold.

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.
