DL491 – Fluid Glass X Pivot Door – Head Detail

Price range: £9.00 through £14.00 + VAT

This detail shows the head condition for a minimal-frame aluminium pivot door from Fluid Glass, installed in a masonry cavity wall. The door is recessed into the insulation zone to reduce thermal bridging, with the frame fully concealed within the wall buildup. This arrangement supports a flush interior finish and may require more complex installation, depending on site and manufacturer coordination.

The head detail includes a proprietary steel lintel with integrated fixing plate, designed to support the pivot hardware. Above the lintel, cavity trays and weep holes are included to manage moisture and comply with standard detailing practices.

Interior finishes accommodate both suspended ceiling systems and raised floor build-ups, with options for enhanced fire performance using intumescent coatings or multiple layers of plasterboard. 

The associated elevation shows the single pivot door in elevation and plan swing position, including the central pivot point and handle height.

Features of this detail: pivot door head detail, minimal frame, recessed frame, steel lintel, cavity wall, airtightness, suspended ceiling, concealed fixing, flush finish, thermal bridging control
