• A SYSTEM of precisely engineered components
that OUTPERFORM competing products
• A tiered system, allowing customers to choose
performance options
• Third party certifications prove EES superiority
• A simple, bold guarantee — we share our
confidence in our product with you
• Customer-Specific Engineering Support
from Inception to Installation.

5. Before we show you the superiority of an
I2I Guaranteed System,
we’ll put our guarantee up front.
THE GUARANTEE
Some door component manufacturers talk a good game about the performance
of their system, but their promise is empty and full of loopholes.
Our guarantee is straightfoward — if you build the unit correctly, build it to
specification, and install it correctly, it will not fail.*
And if it does, we will either pay for the repair or we will give you replacement
parts free of charge and a $300 credit for your trouble.† It's that simple.
*Failure is defined as not performing to the tested criteria as defined in the accompanying engineering dossier.
†Subject to a one-time system payout

not only in their overall integration,
flexibility, guarantee.
We really sweat the details.

22 Sweep
The 22 sweep outperforms all other sweeps by
2 Sweep

maintaining maximum surface area contact to the
threshold rail. It is a reversible sweep with two
bubbles which encapsulate the outside and inside
edges of the rail. The two fins lay between.
The spacing of the fins make it ideal for
applications that use three point locking
mechanisms because the bolt fits between the
fins and eliminates the need to cut valuable
sealing mediums.
EZ Pad EZ Pad
• Sold loose EZ Pad is a revolutionary new product that
• Sold installed on pad seals the most difficult area on any door
• Seals most difficult area to seal system: the top end of the sweep. Just peel

• Easy to use Sweep installation and water tight sealing has

10. Leading Edge™ Corner Pads The best performing pad
on the market
How it
works: All door systems have a straw
effect behind the weatherstrip
that will result in leaks under
stormy conditions. Others try to
clumsily plug the “straw.”
In doing so they actually
accelerate the effect by
damaging the weathership.
The Leading EdgeTM Pad counters
this by altering pressure.
WHY IT WORKS
10

11. Leading Edge™ Corner Pad: WHY IT WORKS
Vorticity Dynamics v(x,t) is a velocity field describing the fluid’s flow
for every instant, p(x,t) is the pressure distribution
and is the density. Equation (1) represents a law of
Vorticity Dynamics — relevant equations:
mass conservation. The amount of fluid entering
any given volume must equal the amount of fluid
going out. Equation (2) is the Fluid Mechanics
equivalent to Newton’s second law F=ma. The
existence of a gradient of pressures inside the fluid
gives rise to a flow v which seeks to eliminate it.
The Leading Edge™ Pad counters the “straw effect”
not by plugging the straw but by altering pressure.

12. “ENHANCED TECHNIQUES”
We constantly improve our products. We have invested much time
and capital creating the industry’s TOUGHEST TEST FACILITIES.
Our goal is to ELIMINATE call backs and hassles for you.

13. The Highest Standards MET
Air/Water DP40 is our EES minimum
performance standard.
Our competitors often struggle
to hit DP15.
Many of our customers have told us
that since they have signed up for
the EES program they now have
ZERO call backs and leaking doors.
