Product Information
Full details
The TIMCO Waterbar is designed for professional builders, contractors, and DIY homeowners looking to enhance door threshold weather protection. Its primary benefit is providing a durable, corrosion-resistant barrier against water ingress, making it an essential component for new door installations or structural refurbishments. While highly effective at managing damp conditions, it is important to note that the 2m length may require precision cutting to fit specific door frames exactly.

FAQs
Can this waterbar be cut to size?
Yes, the galvanised steel can be easily cut to your required length using standard metal cutting tools like a hacksaw.
Is this product suitable for external use?
Yes, the galvanised carbon steel is designed specifically for external environments to resist corrosion and moisture.
What is the thickness of the steel?
The waterbar has a thickness of 4mm, providing a robust profile for thresholds.
Does it come with fixing screws?
The product is supplied as a single steel unit. You will need to source appropriate fasteners compatible with your specific door sill material.
Can it be used on concrete thresholds?
Yes, it can be installed on concrete sills, typically using masonry anchors or high-strength construction adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Water continues to seep in after installation
Verify that the waterbar is correctly leveled and that there are no gaps in the sealant application underneath the bar.
Surface rust appearing on the bar
Check if the galvanised layer was damaged during cutting; clean the affected area and apply a galvanising touch-up paint.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High corrosion resistance due to galvanised finish
- Sturdy 4mm thickness ensures structural integrity
- Ideal for both new builds and repairs
- Reliable water ingress protection for door thresholds
Cons
- Requires manual cutting to fit door frames under 2m
- Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial flood defense
- Single unit supply may require multiple purchases for large projects
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, measure your door threshold width and trim the 2m steel bar using a metal hacksaw or angle grinder. Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris before bedding the waterbar into place. Use compatible corrosion-resistant screws or adhesives as recommended for your specific threshold material (wood or concrete). For maintenance, occasionally clear the channel around the bar to ensure water drainage paths remain unobstructed. Periodically inspect the surface for scratches that may have penetrated the galvanised coating; if found, apply a cold-galvanising spray to prevent localized rust.
