Andehh Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hi all, My Google-fu is letting me down. We have sliding doors with a desire for level threshold inside/outside... The sliding door though has a 10mm lip that hangs down over the runners, preventing the tiles from butting up against the sliding door frame. The sliding door frames sits on a block 'wall' which sticks out about 50mm,preventing normal depth Drains from sitting hard up against the frame. Builder plans to install a blade drainage profile several cm off the doors to prevent any rain deluge flowing up(ish) the patio incline, which will drain into a normal drainage channel. I would prefer to avoid having a random 15mm gap for door slidding before tiling continues then another 15mm gap for the blade drain I would prefer a two in one, a narrow AND shallow drain that can sit below this sliding door lip that also provides emergancy water drainage during storms. Does anyone know of a sort of 40mm wide and 40mm deep type drainage channel?? Many thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 No but you could make one from something like this 25x50 aluminium channel https://www.metals4u.co.uk/materials/aluminium/aluminium-channel/12979-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit something like this around 70-80mm from the edge of the threshold and then tile/pave the gap https://www.cotterillcivils.co.uk/products/a15-paving-slot-channel-with-aluminium-edge-1m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
