Flush Thresholds For Sliding Glass Doors

With minimalism in mind, our sliding glass doors have been designed to allow for flush indoor to outdoor transition. 

A "flush threshold" refers to the base frame of the sliding doors. For the system to be fully flush, the base frame will have to be installed fully level with the building finish to the mm. Having a flush base frame comes with various benefits, the main one being that the view the doors provide is maximised even further. 

The IQ designed drainage system is also fully hidden within the building finishes. This allows for the drain to be almost invisible while still being highly effective against heavy rainfall and water exposure. 

Drainage for Flush Thresholds

This versatile drainage solution can be engineered to suit all threshold thicknesses and is available in silver anodised aluminium (in stock) and titanium anodised aluminium (at an additional cost) . Pre made corner drainage channels allow tricky corner sections to be finished as neatly and minimally as the rest of the flush drain.

A flush drainage detail allows you to continue the frameless contemporary appearance across your internal floor finishes, across the base frame of your doors, across the drainage top to the external floor finish. This facilitates that internal to external blurring (the indoor outdoor effect) that is so popular within modern architecture, without having to compromise on performance

Design Integration

The design team at IQ have created a number of standard design details in order to integrate this flush threshold drainage channel with our flush threshold doors.

This hidden drainage channel is especially useful in conjunction with our slim framed sliding glass doors which have a sub floor level neoprene drainage base that can drain water below the finished floor levels.

 

See it at the Showroom

The IQ Glass Showroom in Amersham has been designed to showcase the broadest range of architectural glazing possible, all in a real life environment.

A set of our aluminium bi folding doors are used as the main entrance doors to our office which include our flush threshold drain. Visitors walk over this flush threshold and our drain every day without even realising it.

Without a rebate, these bi folding doors require adequate water drainage to ensure that any rainwater is carried away from the threshold of the doors. Our flush threshold drainage detail is the perfect solution for this step-free entranceway.
