Sunflex sliding doors

2 replies

Wondering if anyone can help. We have installed 7metre 3 pane sliding doors which we want a flush threshold inside and out.

However, as we have both sides opening, the door on the most outer track sits lower than the track a bit meaning that you can't actually get it flush.

I have looked at photos and Sunflex and installers show that it is flush when having this option. I have rang sunflex who say they don't sell their product as being able to be flush on the outside because of the drainage.
However, the photos on their Instagram and on their website rave about the fact this can be done....!

Has anyone installed any like this and have any advice on how to achieve the look we want? Thanks

We have Sunflex but not flush. The question is whether having a flush threshold on the outside will cause problems with damp if it doesn't drain properly. I've lived with a door where, if the rain was being blown from one direction, the water came flooding under the door... I would say listen to the manufacturer, they should know their products.

Point being that they say on their website it can be flush which is really confusing. I've read again and looked at their cross sections and the patio has to sit 10mm away from the door which would allow the door to move.

You use an aco drain to take the water out of the track where the weep holes are
