DL486 – Fluid Glass X Sliding Aluminium Doors – Base Details: Exposed and Concealed Rail

Price range: £9.00 through £14.00 + VAT

This detail presents two base installation options for the Fluid Glass X two-panel sliding aluminium door system. Both details show installation into a masonry cavity wall with reinforced concrete ground floor construction, and each demonstrates a different approach to threshold treatment, drainage, and thermal bridging.

DL486A features an exposed rail configuration where the in-situ concrete slab is extended into the threshold, enabling full cavity insulation and reducing thermal bridging. A structural spreader plate option is also provided to support rigid insulation in the cavity zone. This approach provides a thermally robust base installation and accommodates a raised internal floor finish.

DL486B illustrates the concealed rail configuration with a hidden track and integrated drainage channel, suitable for use with internal and external stone floor finishes. This version shows a more standardised installation where the slab does not extend into the opening, but includes rigid cellular glass insulation and a structural spreader plate to address potential thermal bridges at the threshold.

These drawings are supported by the associated elevation, which shows the full two-panel sliding door in context.

Features of this detail: sliding door base detail, exposed rail, hidden rail, drainage channel, thermally broken threshold, spreader plate, rigid insulation, cavity wall, reinforced concrete slab, sliding door frame, masonry construction, aluminium sliding door, level threshold, accessible threshold
