Detailing for cill drainage with a 'flush' finish patio
craig replied to SBMS's topic in Landscaping, Decking & Patios
It’s pointless, it’s not needed and completely unnecessary, especially if you have drainage in front. There’s no point to have that cill detail added. -

Why is the cill specified? Who is supplying you with the sliders, what make? Looks similar to Reynaers Masterline CP130/155s That track should have bottom or front drainage options if Reynaers. With that cill detail you have zero chance of a flush threshold, get rid of it. -
Best slim sightlight sliding door? Cortizo? Sunvista? Sunflex? others?
craig replied to bmj1's topic in Doors & Door Frames
Yes, have a look at Solarlux Cero - not cheap but much better. -
You shouldn't need to take the door off the hinges, the black section should slide, Loosen the fixings and then push them up/down and it should give you the relevant movement you need left/right. I'm not certain of the exact hinge but it certainly indicates this to be the case.

This should be your vertical adjustment (height) These should be your lateral adjustment (left / right) The top (remove cap) should be your compression adjustment (in/out) Edit: Worth noting, that you may have to release the small grub screw to adjust.
-
Where do you live? For example near a busy road, airport? You need to consider the type of nouse, where the noise is travelling for example. It might be around the frame. It’s likely just PU foam which won’t block all the noise, compriband would have helped but to late now bug it could also be travelling up through the ground etc. Extra gasket isn’t going to do much tbh.

If it is external, it’s doing the job it’s supposed to.

If between glass panes, glass unit has failed. Replacement glass unit required.

Stick them on with double-sided tape, then take them off when BCO sign things off You do, rule changes from June. Unless alternative means of background ventilation exist. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1045918/ADF1.pdf 0.7 New extensions to historic and traditional dwellings should comply with all ventilation standards in this approved document unless there is a need to match the external appearance or character of the extension to that of the host building.

Self build...built in blinds in windows query
craig replied to Drumlinruby's topic in Introduce Yourself
Welcome to the forum. Different options exist, you have manual operation/electrical operation. Blinds within the glass unit, those in double/triple unit with a cavity for blinds and an inner pane of glass which can be opened to access them. This particular option I'm only aware of a couple of suppliers that offer this, however quite a few can offer the blinds within the glass unit. I'm not a massive fan of the blinds inside the glass unit, whether electrical or manual. I just had a client last year who spent £30K for his orangery to be replaced (we supplied the original windows for it, but a building problem required these to be replaced). We supplied new frames but not the glass this time, he wanted blinds (electrically operated). We advised him against it & low and behold 8 month later he was asking us to rip out all the glass units and supply new glass and as he originally had. They just kept failing and he was at the end of his tether with them. I'm not saying they are all like this but I personally avoid them. -
How many panels/lites in a 2.4m wide window gap?
craig replied to puntloos's topic in Windows & Glazing
Fixed/openable or mixture of both? You can get 2.4m single pane no problem but if openable and supplier dependant. You could have 2 both openable or 1 fixed 1 openable or 3 with fixed middle, openable either side. You could go 4 if you wished. One thing to consider is whether your supplier can achieve this in one frame or if they need to couple different units together which does bulk up the frame. As @bassanclansays though, try follow the design of other unit sizes. -
For a replacement, all you need is a good quality PU foam, mastic externally and maybe some new trims.

They aren’t. ROMA will not deal with the UK directly, only via their distribution partners in mainland Europe. They however want us to deal with historical customers but will not support directly 🖕lol. Thankfully we have all the support we need.

+1 We normally supply the standard slats, we try and give clients a choice but usually stick with the standards. You actually taught me a few extra bits and pieces that were available with the system as you had done your research and I have to say, I try and now use the CDL slats as standard and since my visit a fortnight ago, it has made my mind up. I reckon that the CDL slats are about 95% blackout, if not more 🤷♂️?

Apologies but you're overcomplicating this, order a new door. The work involved in converting this will cost you probably the same to reorder, deliver and install the door. Secondly, it's unlikely the cylinder will fit properly in the door and it's a lot of hassle to solve a problem, which is easier to do by ordering a new door. Trust me, talking from experience. Bite the bullet and order new.

The sellers talking out his arse. He needs to get his contractors back and get it sorted. The installers should have a bit of professional pride. Surely they never left it like this, if they did then they’re absolute cowboys.

With our Austrian supplier, at a certain glass size it is automatically recommended. If it fails due to nickel sulphide inclusions. It’s tough luck, buy a new one. I’m at the stage now that heat soak on toughened, is standard on all sizes.

It’s the spontaneous explosions of installed glass units that are fun 😉 Scares the shit out of everyone 😂😂😂
-
Are they doing the install? What’s the site layout like? Won’t necessarily need craned in but they’ll be doing a risk assessment based install and need to submit RAMS etc. 9 out of 10 times a tele-handler and vacuum suckers are more than enough.

Professional glass polisher. It will take a layer of the glass off and can cause a bit of distortion and can end up being worse that the scratch.

Should windows be installed with any kind of DPC or similar?
craig replied to Oxbow16's topic in Windows & Glazing
You should be fine.
