(54) Threshold with drainage


(57) The present invention concerns a threshold, such as for an external door. The threshold comprises a first longitudinal side and an opposing second longitudinal side as well as an upper side and lower side. In use, the first longitudinal side faces outwards and the second longitudinal side faces inwards. The upper side comprises a run-off part, the top surface of which drains towards the first longitudinal side and the low edge of which adjoins the first longitudinal side, as well as a raised threshold part with an upright side facing the first longitudinal side, which upright side adjoins the high edge of the run-off part at the bottom. The threshold part is a hollow tubular part with a base, a top wall and two opposing side walls, the first side wall of which determines the upright side; and the top surface of the base part is situated higher than or level with the high edge of the run-off part.
