Most uPVC manufacturers have level threshold options but they don't seem to
advertise the fact - you have to ask for it. I'm sure that most
manufacturers must be aware of the Act and it's a pity that they don't just
make flush thresholds the only option...... perhaps they have millions of
lengths of standard cill they need to use up 1st - and there is of course no
requirement for them to make accessible doorways. Pity.......

Subject: Re: Level threshold uPVC doors
if pvc door frame manufacturers don't supply level thresholds (notwistanding
that pvc is one of the most noxious chemical mixes on the planet and i
personally hope there is a worldwide ban in place asap!) how do developers
aim to comply with lifetime homes requirements?
