INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGY / BIFORIUM
THERMAL STRUCTURAL BASE
Under a large slider, the base carries substantial mass, sets the threshold level and crosses the thermal envelope. It cannot be an improvised packing piece.
CONTROL
Junction control points.
Load capacity
Material and bearing area follow line and local loads.
Geometry
The base remains level along its full length without point settlement.
Thermal design
It interfaces with slab insulation, screed and the façade thermal layer.
Water
External membrane and drainage pass the base without pockets or dead ends.

FAQ
Questions from site.
Can a slider sit directly on aerated concrete?
Only after checking strength and load distribution. A separate structural base is often required.
What are VSThermo-type profiles?
Purpose-made thermally insulating structural materials; exact type and section follow load and detail.
When should height be checked?
Before screeds and waterproofing. Once finished-floor levels are formed, correction space is usually gone.
