Glas (Fittings & Systems)

1. How do I calculate the weight of Glass in a frameless Door to determine the suitability of the fittings?

2. What size frameless glass door can I design to be used with DORMA Universal Door Rails?

3. I have specified your MANET Sliding Door system but the projects glass supplier has advised they are unable to prepare the glass to suit this fitting. Why is this?

4. I have installed an AGILE 150 Sliding Door system and the glass is slipped from its carrier clamp. Why is this?

The formula for calculating toughened glass door weight is: Height (m) x width (m) x Thickness (mm) x 2.6

2. What size frameless glass door can I design to be used with DORMA Universal Door Rails?

The Universal Door rails are designed to accomodate up to 12mm glass, up to 1200mm wide and a maximum weight of 80kg's

3. I have specified your MANET Sliding Door system but the projects glass supplier has advised they are unable to prepare the glass to suit this fitting. Why is this?

Some tougheners are unable to produce glass to accommodate the standard MANET Roller assembly. This is due to the hole spacing required for fixing. If you experience this problem please use the 29.399 Roller version which features a 75mm spacing as opposed to the 55mm standard.

4. I have installed an AGILE 150 Sliding Door system and the glass is slipped from its carrier clamp. Why is this?

appraisal of results

Generally this problem will be a result of either an insufficiently fastened carrier clamp, or the fitting has the wrong gasket thickness. For 8mm glass both the 1mm and 2mm gasket should be used either side of the glass panel. For 10mm glass the 2mm gasket should be used on either side of the glass, and for 12mm glass only the 1mm gasket should be used on either side of the glass.
