主权项

1. A method of repairing a degraded jamb of a door or window comprising the steps of:
cleaning a degraded jamb; sizing a protective cover having a base to a proper width by cutting along a preformed groove that provides a decorative element to the protective cover; cutting a lower edge of the base at a 6 degree angle to provide for the lower edge of the base to be fitted to a door threshold, snapping off excess material of the cover along the groove; applying adhesive to the jamb; applying adhesive to the lower edge of the base to seal the lower edge of the base to a door threshold to prevent precipitation from seeping behind the protective cover; and permanently installing the protective cover over the degraded jamb.
