Pemko 279A X 18/1A X 273A72 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Pemko 279A half saddle threshold cover a 1/4 inch step between two floor surfaces?
That is exactly what the 279A is sized for. It stands 1/4 inch high and spans 2 inches wide, so it bridges an offset of up to 1/4 inch between finished floors. If your step is taller than 1/4 inch, this profile will leave a lip and you want a deeper saddle instead.
2) Can the Pemko 279A be used on a fire rated door opening?
Yes. The 279A is fire rated and BHMA certified, so it can go under a commercial fire door assembly. It is rated for commercial use, not just residential traffic.
3) Do I get screws with a Pemko 279A threshold, and will they work in concrete?
Wood screws come as the standard fastener with the 279A. Those are correct for a wood subfloor only. Setting the threshold on a concrete slab means ordering the alternate fastener option Pemko offers for that substrate, or supplying your own anchors, so plan that before the crew is on site.
4) What is a half saddle threshold and when do I use one instead of a full saddle?
A half saddle sits on one side of the door opening rather than spanning under and past the door on both sides. The 279A is the flat transition strip type: 1/4 inch tall, 2 inches wide, used where a finished floor meets another floor surface at a slight offset. A full saddle is what you want when you need the threshold to run the full depth of the jamb and take a door bottom seal on both faces.
5) What finish does the Pemko 279A threshold come in?
Mill finish aluminum, which is the raw uncoated aluminum surface. It reads as a natural silver and will not match an anodized dark bronze or a mill-gold anodized threshold already in the building, so check what is on your other openings before you standardize on it.
6) Does the Pemko 279A threshold do anything for drafts or energy loss?
The 279A has a channel built into the profile that takes a thermal key, which is the insulating break that stops the aluminum from conducting cold straight through the opening. That makes it usable on an exterior transition, not just an interior floor change. The thermal key itself is a separate item you specify with the threshold.
7) I need to reorder the same threshold Pemko sent last time. What is the model number?
The part is the Pemko 279A, model 279 in the A series, supplied 1/4 inch by 2 inches by 72 inches in mill finish aluminum. Quote the length separately if the original was a custom cut, since the 279A is produced anywhere from 24 to 185 inches and the 72 inch is only the stock size.
8) Will an aluminum threshold like the Pemko 279A hold up in a hospital corridor or a school entry?
Aluminum is the standard material for high traffic commercial thresholds because it resists corrosion and does not rust from mop water or salt tracked in. The 279A is specified for commercial use and Pemko lists it for healthcare, education, retail, industrial, government and multi-tenant residential buildings. At only 1/4 inch of height it is also a very low trip profile for a heavily walked opening.
