Hello,
What's the best way of fitting a triple track sliding door to a steel sway frame? I want to minimise thermal bridging.
I'm building my own extension and have Building Control approved plans including those from the Structural Engineer.
I currently have this:
Designed this:
and I've started "building" in Sketchup:
For the jambs the detail they've supplied is this:
As the triple track is so wide they don't just fix into the outer block. Due to my steel frame I was thinking of just using a 50x200mm timber fixed to the steel to close the cavity with a DPC against the outer block:
Would that work?
Thanks!
