Galvanized metal sheet profile which acts as a second spacer. As wide as the inner seat of the counterframe and ending at the middle of the chest, facilitates the laying because fixes the box to the stop jamb, preserving its perfect alignment.

Finishing frames around the door. It covers the union of the jamb with the wall on the entire edge of the door.

Elements that are applied directly on the track to avoid to slam the door either in opening or closing. The door stopper within the counterframe is already mounted and is adjustable according to the requirements, thanks to the extractable track. The door stopper in closing but instead fixed after the assembly of the door.

Type of support for all glass door. It is a fixing system that is applied on the glass, after dovetail incision Suitable for door panels in glass, weight up to 160 lbs, thickness 3/8".

Set of metallic components that allow opening and closing of a door.

Metal chest inside the wall into which the door is eclipsed.

Drywall is a building material. It is currently one of the most widely used lightweight construction materials because of its speed of application and its special thermal and acoustic qualities. It is sold in 4ft x 8ft panels although you can find it in different sizes. The thickness used for the finished wall measurements with a 5/8" or 1/2" unique plate.

It is a universal accessory that allows you to get a double-leaf counterframe using two of them for a single leaf.

Accessory for interior that allows the opening and the simultaneous closing of two doors.

Vertical element of the counterframe placed in the mouth of the container where the door goes to disappear. It is potentially the weakest element of the counterframe, which could leave the cracks because it identifies the farest point from the walls constraints.

Counterframe which includes the installation of two door panels.

The external wall sliding kit is the solution that allows to apply a sliding door maintaining the door in view and without affecting any existing wall.

Plastic housing in which there is a distribution point (branch) of / secondary / primary line(s) in which a change of direction is obtained through switches, sockets, thermostats, sockets for telephone, etc.

This is the hole that you have to leave to place a counterframe properly (measurements in height and width). It is given by the sum of the passage of light measures, dimensions of the inner casing to the wall and dimensions.

Cutting and shaping of glass tiles, composed on a supporting glass base, machining is possible thanks to a cooking cycle that allows the weave to melt at the base.

Final thickness of the wall that accommodates a counterframe.

Network with furrowed and etched wire to improve adhesion of the plaster.

Supports of a counterframe (plaster version) that are attached to the plaster door net which gives the counterframe higher strength and stiffness and counteract the tensions generated by the plaster maturation. They are designed in such a way that gaps of thickness do not remain in the plaster distribution.

Sheet with ashlar processing which increases rigidity and strength of the counterframe. 

Sliding seat of the door. To allow the sliding, the thickness of the door must be less than the sliding seat of 1/2".

Wooden frame of the door finish. It covers the edges of the counterframes, the upper crosspiece and the stop jamb.

Boards generally in MDF (wooden pulp better than chipboard) processed to make them smooth to the touch and then painted with a glossy or matt lacquer.

Coating created with a molded plastic foil recalling the wood in appearance. The underlying structure is usually made of chipboard.

Accessory for interiors and exteriors that allows the automatic opening and closing of the door.

Maximum weight bearable by the sliding carriages. For ECLISSE, The standard load capacity is 220 lbs, on request reaches up to 330 lbs (interior solutions). In the case of blinds or railings, it is 330 lbs.

Particular processing to be carried out on a wooden door panel.

Type of support for all glass door. It is a fixing system that is applied directly on the glass. Suitable for door panels in glass, weight up to 220 lbs, thickness 3/8".

Wood material made with synthetic resins and with thin veneers.

Tightly knit knurled net (2"x1") situated halfway between the plate and the wire of the plaster that allows the plaster to cling better. The plaster-holding mesh ECLISSE is overboarding to avoid the application of additional nets.

Direction that identifies from which side the door is concealed in the wall (right or left).

Non-standard measures of counterframes.

It is one layer of protective coating of the walls. It, besides the protective function, assumes sometimes an aesthetic function.

Component on the upper crosspiece of the subframe for plaster which helps to absorb possible structural movements.

That comes out and exceeds the boundary of the chest of the plaster counterframe. Thus it avoids the formation of cracks and splittings due to the connection between two completely different materials (sheet and perforated).

Accessory for interiors. It allows the door to slow down the travel of the door panel in closing until it closes again softly.

The counterframe studied for extra-large apertures which allows the insertion of a concealed sliding system even in the presence of a light passage which can reach up to 72" in width and 120" in height.

Unassembled version of a counterframe. Allows the optimization of loads thanks to limited dimensions corresponding to 5-1/2" x 91" x 4-3/8". It also allows the choice of the thickness in the construction site to use based on the door chosen.

Mechanical process with which the most superficial part of a material erodes through abrasion caused by an air jet of sand and which allows the incision of images on glass.

Single-leaf counterframe. It allows the housing of a sliding door panel. 

Elements that allow the door panel to slide inside the track. The sliding carriages with ball bearings ensure lasting, smooth and silent sliding. They may have capacity of 220 lbs or 330 lbs.

Size (width and height) specified in the catalogue.

Sheet metal profile which serves to maintain properly spaced horizontal door jamb.

Vertical element of the counterframe that facilitates the implementation of the jambs.

plastic element which serves to slide the door perpendicularly to the track. The door guide slides on the milling that is standard on the retractable sliding doors. It is applied directly to the counterframe and without drilling the floor, allowing you to center the guide in a few moments, avoiding unnecessary loss of time in the measurements and in the floor perforations.

Ability to mount the subframe directly on site with the desired thickness (3-1/2" and 5-1/2" finished wall thickness).

Extruded aluminum profile to apply in the milling of the sliding doors. Preserves the sliding seat from possible swelling caused by the absorption of moisture.

Silky final appearance of the finish that retracts the door within the category of semi-opaque.

Closing system which for its characteristics allows the centering of the lock block with the abutment of the lock.

Glass subjected to a machining process said quenching, which involves heating the material at 932-1292 °F and the subsequent rapid cooling. It confers a greater resistance in the sheet. In the event of impact the glass shatters into tiny pieces.

Wood variety. It can be veneered or solid (massive).
