Hi All, I'm trying to work out the best method of securing a new parapet wall around a flat roof/balcony which will be made from minimum 2 layers of concrete blocks laying flat. On top of the parapet - i am planning to use an aluminium profile which will be used to secure frameless glass panels all the way round the parapet wall. What's the best way to secure the concrete block parapet wall to the steel allowing me to place the frameless glass balustrade on top of the parapet wall? Is there a standardised way this should be done? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Was wondering if someone can help with my dilemma around having aluminium sliding doors secured to a newly built opening. The opening consists of a steel beam that goes across with steel posts either side. On the underside of the beam in each corner there are steel plates that are secured to the underside of the beam with bolts. My problem is that when the glazers come to install the sliding door frames - the thickness of the plate along with the bolts will create a large gap between the steel beam and the frame. I'm trying to figure out the best way to pack this gap so it insulates and seals the gap as well as stopping any deflection of the aluminium door frames. Also on the external side- what is the best material to finish the underside/overhang of the steel between the sliding door aluminium frame and corner of the steel beam and how does it adhere to the surface? I've attached an image to give an idea of one of the openings where I'm planning on installing wall to wall, floor to ceiling sliding doors. Any help would be much appreciated! Many thanks,
