So I receive the below from Norrsken as I am trying to understand the required build up for the sliding doors.  Front edge to back edge dimensions of the cill is 204mm.  This will therefore mean, that the back edge of the door will sit directly over the 150mm cavity.   I am not sure whether the detailing below is for the European market, but the outer leaf is clearly not brick as it is > 1/2 the width of 204mm.

Does anyone have a cross section detail.  I am keen to understand how the insulation / screed and inner leaf brick / block course is adapted to get a 'level' threshold.

I've just spent a lot of time with a number of clients, detailing just this (with Norrsken units), and I haven't recommended going for the drip edge to be below outside hard landscape in any one, as that then means any wind-driven snow or heavy rain will be testing out how well you sealed under the 5mm gap under the threshold ;) 

 

On the masonry one (75mm cavity) we used Bosig Phonotherm at 25mm thickness to sit atop the external masonry leaf, and made it the same width as the slider threshold. Long brackets are used to fix into the inner leaf of masonry at each side. Same at the head, or they can drill into a steel or masonry (or timber) lintel.
