standard threshold Explanation: this would mean the threshhold is raised but not rebated because of a swing door, for instance. Rako refers to the gap seen under the door. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-02-19 21:15:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The gap is not visible in Marju's example - but it is there all the same. Based on the example given, a better translation for rakokynnys would be ventilated threshold. |
