Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 23, 2010 5:00 pm I just wanted to clarify what the builder means by this... "Flush panel cavity sliding door to Family/Rumpus opening with flush pulls (door is not level/flush with jamb)" Does this mean that because the slider is actually going to be placed in an "opening" as opposed to a doorway, the wall will be wider than the door, where as the door jamb is normally the same width as the actual door. I hope i have made some sense even just a little bit ??

This type of door slides on track secured above door opening. This track will have a timber pelmet (frame ) either side to hide track and look neat, there will also be the normal timber architrave around the door opening.When the door is open it will slide into wall cavity with only the flush handle to be seen. When closed to shut off room it will slide the other way and butt up to the door jamb. Hope this helps a bit, by the way very nice home choice. cheers wayne6666 Re: Cavity sliding door question 3Sep 23, 2010 9:37 pm Thanks for your response Wayne6666 I guess i'm struggling with the (door is not level/flush with jamb) bit.

If the door is not level/flush with jamb, what is it? http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad130/nettie_b/slidingdoor.jpg So on the right the door will go into the cavity and presumably be flush ie not sticking out at all. On the left the door should butt up against the door jamb. What have I missed Yes I lost many brain cells somewhere between child 1 and 3.

Non-flush with jamb would mean the door has a stopper which prevents it sliding all the way back in the cavity so you can't get it back out again. The down-side with that is you lose an inch or so of your opening width as the door always sticks out just a little. I’m in a similar position except I’m after sliding 3 stacking doors. I am on a second-story apartment of which the balcony would not adequately fit any bi-fold or… 5 16082 DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair Thanks Chippy . Did also see a YouTube video before.
