Hi Roger, great video, have watched your Korniche lantern video and will be installing 3 of those in the next month or so but just wanted to ask about how the cavity had been finished below the threshold, as there appears to be a number of ways of doing that and what type of fixings you were using to fit the head of the frame to the steel lintel, thanks

@SteveRogers461 2 года назад

Our cowboy fitters didn't know about heel and toe and after a couple of open and closes, the doors feel out of the track. I managed to catch them and phone for help but they were insanely heavy. We don't really use the doors much now because it would cost hundreds to get them sorted.

@tomclarkson6078 2 года назад

Always gets me how they put so much effort into aluminium with thermal breaks yet they are happy for fitters to sink fixings straight through it. Yes this is dependent on the system you use e.g Sapa, technal or in this case korniche but when you work with schuco products it does make you think.

@GG-ch1hm 2 года назад

People fix through the thermal break due to laziness and ease of drilling through the plastic

@MatSmithLondon 2 года назад

Oh Roger. I watched this and my heart sank. The bit where you talked about membrane under the doors. We had a set of expensive sliding doors installed - costing a five figure sum of money - and they didn’t lap the membrane up that step. We have water ingress. It goes under our screed and finds its way to a hole in the suspended slab and drips into ceiling of basement below. Since doors went in, we had a very good brickie build us some beautiful reclaimed stock brick pier skins on the outside. Gorgeous pointing, best I’ve seen so far. We chose every brick by hand, rummaging through old piles at merchants. The doors are fixed to the INSIDE of the inner block skin, fixed inside the cavity. So we can’t just lift and retrofit a membrane. We discussed this at the time but ploughed on anyway. Thankfully no kitchen or floor finishes yet. I’m wondering if we can resolve this by somehow bonding to the TINY bit of concrete subfloor between screed and door frame then pouring in some kind of waterproof latex. Either that or the whole damned lot is coming out. Am so gutted. We are royally screwed. Sometimes wish we could just have you here for the rest of our build 😥😥😥

There is a good soffit on the roof so the piers will not get wet. The pencil line is fine because I take the middle of it.

@johnfithian-franks8276 2 года назад

Hi Jeff, I have never understood why window manufacturers put a hole in their windows. My girlfriend’s house has these holes, the wind howls through that hole, and although it is at the top of the window, you can feel the draft from six feet away. I made some covers to go over the holes and this has made a massive difference in all the rooms. As they are fitted to the windows you are installing I though you would be the best person to ask what they are supposed to do.

I'm having some Express Bifold sliding doors fitted next week. they are to be flush with the floor and sit in a trench. What do you put under the lower track once its fitted and sitting on packers? I would prefer it to sit on self leveling compound that is exactly horizontal so it spreads the load evenly? Packers seem to be a bodge from an engineering prospective? What do you think?

@SkillBuilder 8 месяцев назад

I always put a level bed in and then a piece of damp proof course that goes under the cill and up the back to the floor level. If packers are use the space in between is dry packed with sharp sand and cement so it gives even support. I would then remove the packers and fill the gaps with more dry pack. I only ever view packers as a way of getting the door level.

Fire Blaster I wish you were right but the thing about a lot of window/door fitters is that they throw the thing in and let you sort it out. We get lots of emails from people with dropped doors, water ingress and countless other problems, It was a day's work to fit the doors and they work like a dream. I have spent a lot longer putting other fitters jobs right. Look at the comment from Mat Smith above.

Hi Roger What is the golden rule for the door threshold is higher than the outdoor floor - suppose indoor and out door - finished floor will have same hight

@SkillBuilder 2 года назад

You need that jump up on the dpc. The frame can sit flush and the inner and outer floor levels can be the same but the bottom of the frame is sunk below that level and a bit of dpc comes up the back to the floor level. You need the frame to drain to the outside.

@richardmayo6076 8 месяцев назад

Just fitted one of these and they have changed the keep mechanism which is now total crap. Mostly it’s ‘ok’, the bead system is very good, the door itself is too big for the frame however so doesn’t close smoothly. Would I recommend? Hmmm..

Hi roger:just a quick question my new kornich bifold door arrives in 7 days time could you advise on fixings into a medium density breeze block wall,as I’m a bit worried about using concrete wall fixing screws thanks

@SkillBuilder Год назад

Hi Chris There is no pull out force to talk of so you are looking at sideways force. Concrete screws are best because they don't have an expansion force which can tend blow the edge of the block out. I think by the time you get the foam in there, it starts to firm up but I also like to get a few head fixings in because that is what counters the weight of the doors when they are open. If you are concerned but some metal plates or straps on the side of the frame and run them back to the inner skin. I like to do that if there is not much meat in the external skin.

@E69apeTheMatrix420 2 года назад

Meant to use frame sealent in the screw holes before you put screws in or at least a blob on top of the bare screw (colour matched.) Every screw needs a packer and would have been good to see you seal it all up. Everything else was a good install though. Nice job on your own.

@SkillBuilder 2 года назад

I usually do put a bit of grey silicone on the heads but only after I have dry packed. Then I find the sealant has somewhere to go and doesn't just appear underneath. That said the frames are made to drain so the water will get out.

@E69apeTheMatrix420 2 года назад

@@SkillBuilder Nice, thats good. I plan to use expanding foam before the sealent round edges with the gun turned down very low. Did you do that? I have 8 windows and 3 doors on the way. I'm nervous because it's currently a 1 man job but I'll get it done. I noticed the in-designed weep holes that's a decent unit along with the special seal. Mine are all off the shelf B&Q (Crystal) and Wickes (Euramax) No idea what to expect but they were nice and cheap with added 10% discount that's for sure.

Can tell you're a builder. Sand & cement under the base is no good as it causes a cold spot and increases condensation on the aluminium, your wedge packers won't pack flat, the diagonal tape method on the corners works in theory only, your fixings in the base will allow water to drain through as you didn't seal the holes and you didn't use a bridging base packer on the bottom of the sashes to sit the glass on which will cause the units to mist up before the guarantee runs out. Other than that, great vid.......
