Sliding Stacking Frameless Doors

Hi Everyone,

 

I am trying to model doors into a project.

Here is an example of the door typology:

I have attempted to use the OOTB doors, Cadimage and the Curtain wall tool. Has anyone had success with this door type?

I am working on this project in AC27 currently.

 

Operating system used: Windows 11

Hopefully you have a 1.5-2m overhang in that case!

BCA ? For security someone could wedge a screwdriver into the butt joint. If it was a glass tongue and groove joint it would probably crack. If it was a recessed joint it could also crack. Would be better with a full frame in that type of application. As an external screen it would be all good as @Barry Kelly says. Fun discussing it lol😆.

Looks like a plastic gasket seal, though given how it operates I doubt you would be able to get much pressure on it to form a good seal, ignoring the fact that it termintates at the panel frame. Regarding security, you could probably get glass thick enough to thwart that sort of attack, but the weight and price of that would be insane...

looks like some sort of a seal from that picture above. Would be good to see a detail of the join.

just wondering maybe you can ask the supplier to provide you a library part of their frameless glass door system?

Maybe someone who is a master at GDL could offer their services to that company to build them for our library ?

 

BTW they are not really “Frameless” only the vertical parts are missing.

yeah, not frameless but that's what they advertised in their website. 😁

Australian company, and it's cyclonic rated. I am even more curious to how it seals now.
