Replace timber door threshold/sill

Replace timber door threshold/sill

Hello everyone,

 

I am looking for some recommendations or ideas on how to replace an external laundry door threshold/sill.

I attached few photos. As you can see on the photos, it is completely damaged and rotten. 

Because it is an external door, it is always exposed to rain. When it gets wet, it expands which makes it difficult to open or close the door.

I am looking for some solution that would be weather resistant.

 

What type of timber would you recommend to use? Does it need to be treated to make waterproof and what product to use? What paint would you recommend? 

I am afraid that using timber, I will end up in a similar situation several years later and it will rot again.

So, I am wondering if there are some other products I can use instead of timber, for example, stone, tiles, metal, etc.
