Abstract A sliding-door and sliding-screen sill having several elongated rail members for individually supporting a sliding-door and a sliding-screen. Each such rail member is extruded of aluminum and is formed with at least one elongated break-notch whereby an installer can remove substantially any desired width of the base of either or both rail members to enable them to be placed in juxtaposition and yet cause the rails to be spaced the desired distance as defined by thee relationship between the exisiting sliding-door and sliding-screen. An L-shaped foundation member and a spacer are employed, the rail members being secured to one side of the foundation member.
