DL487 – Fluid Glass X Sliding Aluminium Doors – Plan Jamb Details: Exposed and Concealed Rail

Price range: £9.00 through £14.00 + VAT

This detail presents two plan jamb installation options for the Fluid Glass X two-panel sliding aluminium door system. Each variation demonstrates how the frame interfaces with the surrounding masonry cavity wall construction and how thermal bridging and airtightness are managed at the jamb.

DL487A shows the exposed rail configuration, where the sliding frame is recessed into the wall construction to reduce thermal bridging and achieve a clean internal finish. The frame is positioned within the insulation zone and sealed with silicone and optional airtightness tape. This arrangement may require more complex installation coordination to suit bespoke project conditions.

DL487B illustrates the concealed rail configuration, incorporating a Blindspace concealed blind side channel flush with the internal wall finish. The door frame is similarly recessed and supported within the insulation zone, with a service cavity formed using battens and double plasterboard linings. This version is ideal where blackout blinds or insect screens are required without side light gaps.

Both jamb details are supported by the associated elevation, which displays the two-panel configuration in full.

Features of this detail: sliding door jamb detail, recessed frame, cavity wall, exposed rail, concealed rail, Blindspace blind, airtightness, thermal bridging reduction, cavity closer, plasterboard lining, masonry construction
