Safety

Take the necessary and required safety precautions, such as safety nets and lifelines when installing from the outside, safety goggles, gloves, hard hat, etc.
Do not step on the glass.

Falling from height

When using ladders to go on the roof:
- Ladder in good condition?
- Set up correctly at an angle of 75°?
- Secured below and on top against moving?
- Don’t take heavy material with you on the ladder (3-point contact rule)! If possible, use a crane to lift the material.
If you are going on the roof, make sure there is a walking surface that is wide enough and that supports on the beams of the lower structure.
When using an aerial work platform: always wear and secure your harness (mandatory)! Leaving the cage is forbidden.
Never walk backwards on a roof, always walk forwards.
Make sure there’s enough light in the working zone.

Low-hanging obstacles and falling loads

Forbidden to walk under or within a radius of 1 m of a hanging or lifted load.
Demarcate the danger zone below the zone where there is a risk of material falling down during the installation of the veranda.
It’s prohibited to enter these danger zones during construction.

Crushing hazard

All working tools are in good condition, provided with a valid CE label and all necessary safety regulations. These cannot be removed.
People who use these working tools are educated for this purpose. Protections are always present on all working tools. They are in good condition and need to be set correctly.

Tripping/falling

Safety is key and it begins with order and tidiness. Clean everything immediately, leave nothing lying around.
Trash needs to be sorted.
Be cautious with electric cables (danger of tripping/falling). Never walk backwards!
Make sure there’s enough light in the working zone.

Sharp objects

Make sure your fingers/hands are not pinched and watch out for cuts while handling veranda parts.
Be careful where you put your hands during the installation.
Wearing cut-resistant gloves is mandatory.

Ergonomics

Always lift loads correctly: bend your knees, move your feet instead of forcing your spine, lift as close to your body as possible.
Parts of more than 25 kg must be lifted with at least 2 persons.

Personal protective equipment

Work clothes, safety shoes and helmet are mandatory for everyone.
Lifeline and harness are mandatory if the edge is not secured enough or if there are no safety nets below the veranda roof. They are also necessary when using an aerial working platform.
Use gloves when handling veranda parts.
Safety glasses and hearing protection are mandatory when using saws / grinders.

Always perform a Last Minute Risc Analysis!
If in doubt: STOP! Do not take unnecessary risks. Ask your supervisor if needed.

Use and versions

Climaglide is a glass sliding partition for single glazing. This system provides some protection against wind and rain. There is a basic system with individual elements and a system which can be locked on the inside. The sliding elements can be slid open to 1 or 2 sides, creating a large opening. Climaglide is suitable for closing a non-thermal break conservatory roof such as Climax Panorama, Climalux and Climalite.
The lower rail (CGB) has 3,4 or 5 tracks (X), is fully pre-drilled and supplied on a custom basis.
A glass sliding partition consists of several sliding elements (YY). The left and right side are determined based on an inside position.
With a single system, the sliding elements can be parked either to the left (L) or to the right (R). The park side of a supplied system is the side furthest from the hole in the inner rail.
With a double system, half the sliding elements are set to the left, half to the right.
The glazing is provided by the customer/ﬁtter in toughened (tempered) glass with a thickness (D) of 8 mm.
The version of your Climaglide glass sliding partition is determined by a code CG XYY L/R D:
Example:
- CG 303 L 8 is a Climaglide glass sliding partition with 3 tracks and 3 sliding elements that open to the left (seen from the inside out). It is equipped with a glass thickness of 8 mm.
- CG 408 LR 8 is a Climaglide glass sliding partition with 4 tracks and 8 sliding elements that partly open to the left and partly to the right. It is equipped with a glass thickness of 8 mm.

General installation tips

Please read this manual carefully.
Installation must be carried out by people with sufficient technical knowledge and experience of constructions. The ﬁtter must take the necessary safety precautions during installation, such as the use of scaffolding and personal protective equipment (safety shoes, hard hat, gloves, safety goggles, etc.) in order to work in safe conditions. During construction, adequate precautions should be taken to ensure the stability of the unﬁnished construction.

Fixing materials
The ﬁxing materials required are chosen by you depending on the base. The screws and plugs for screwing the proﬁles into the sill, the stanchions or the gutter proﬁles are not included. Use custom stainless steel countersunk screws. Make sure the base and walls to which the unit is to be anchored are sufficiently strong. The ﬁtter must personally decide which ﬁxing materials are suitable for the load and the base to which the unit is to be secured. In case of doubt, we recommend that you contact your ﬁxing materials supplier or a specialised engineering office.

Lower rail

We recommend not to install the lower rail on the inner ﬂoor, but 2 mm lower.
If you install the rail more than 2 mm lower, please note that you will need to adjust the glass height.
In any case, always make sure that the bottom rail does not lean to the inside.
Skylux is not responsible for installation and for the ﬁxing materials used.

Measuring your Climaglide glass sliding partition

Make sure the opening is perfectly square. The sill into which the lower rail is screwed must be perfectly level to allow the sliding partition system to work properly. If the deﬂection of the upper proﬁle (gutter) is more than 20 mm, the glass sliding partition cannot be installed. Bear in mind that the lower and upper rails are X times 20 mm wide. A system with 3 tracks is therefore 60 mm wide. The stanchion on the parking side against which the glass sliding partition is installed must have at least the same depth.

Determining the dimensions
Measure the width (Bp) between the posts.

Measure the height (Hg) from sill to gutter and check whether this corresponds to the sliding partition ordered. The height (Hg) in the middle of the opening and at the side may differ by a maximum of 20 mm. Bear in mind that the deﬂection of the gutter may be greater when loaded with snow. The maximum height Hg is 2310 mm.
The package delivered with the proﬁles and accessories is prepared with the greatest care in accordance with the dimensions provided. First check that you have received all the parts.

Dimensions of the glass plates

The height of the glass plate is: Hg – 85 mm.
The glass plates are distributed evenly across the width. The width of the glass plate is:
- For a single system: ((Bp – 16 + (X-1)*25)/X) – 2
- For a double system: =((Bp-16-7+(X-2)*25)/X)-2 where X is the number of panels
Below is a calculation example to clarify this.

Given:
A single system CG 303 L 8 with a total width Bp of 2975 mm and an Hg of 2150 mm
This glass sliding partition has 3 tracks (X) and 3 sliding elements

Calculating the height of the glass plates: 2150 – 85 = 2065 mm
Calculating the width per glass plate: (2975 -16 +(3-1)25)/3 – 3 = (2959 + 225)/3 – 3 = (2959 +50) /3 – 3 = 3009/3 – 3 = 1000 mm

For this glass sliding partition, 3 glass plates of 1000 x 2065 mm must be ordered in toughened glass of 8 mm, the side edges of which must be ground.

Specific installation tips

Upper rail (CGT)

Check whether the upper proﬁle can be anchored without perforating the gutter itself. As far as possible, it must therefore be possible to anchor the proﬁle in the rearmost part of the gutter proﬁle.
Pre-drill upper proﬁle with Ø 5-6 mm with a gap of approximately 70 cm and 4 cm from the ends. Give each hole a chamfer so that the screw head is sunk.
Use countersunk screws to secure the proﬁle (not supplied).
In the case of the GX gutter (Climalux), always do this in the ﬁrst slot.
In the case of a GXLX gutter (Climalux Horizon) or a GL gutter (Climalite), always do this in the second slot.
In the case of a GDG gutter (Climax Panorama), do this staggered in the ﬁrst and third slots.

Lower rail (CGB)

The holes for locking the sliding elements and drainage are already present in the proﬁle. Position the proﬁle between the stanchions. Make sure the horizontally drilled drainage holes are pointing outwards and the locking holes (option) at the end match the parking position of the sliding elements. See drawing below.
Pre-drill the lower rail with Ø 6 mm to 4 cm from the ends and also with a spacing of approximately 70 cm in the indication lines between the outermost tracks. Give each hole a chamfer so that the screw head is sunk. Then screw the proﬁle onto the base with suitable screws and plugs. Provide a small water barrier with silicone at 15 mm from the inner edge between the lower rail and the surface. Make sure the lower rail lies perfectly beneath the upper rail and is level. If necessary, shims must be used to align the lower rail horizontally.

Side profiles (CGL)

Both side proﬁles are identical. They need to be sawn to the precise length on the construction site. Make sure the milled-out opening is facing downwards. Pre-drill at least 2 holes with Ø 5-6 mm. Give each hole a chamfer so that the screw head is sunk. First position the side proﬁle on the parking side and centred above the outermost track. Then screw the proﬁle to the stanchion. Use short screws for this, so that the water discharge pipe is not pierced. Do the same against the other stanchion, but centrally above the innermost track.
Afterwards, push the supplied black felt in the proﬁles. This serves as a sealing and shock absorber.

Sliding elements (CGPL)
The carrier proﬁles are custom-made and ﬁtted with wheel guidance and locks. Depending on whether a single or double system is chosen, 1 or 2 carrier proﬁles are ﬁtted with a lock opening (option). These are used for the sliding element on the parking side. The other carrier proﬁles are ﬁtted with a lock (option).

Installing the sliding elements

Lay the glass plate horizontally on 2 trestles. Provide protection against scratches. Take the rubber strip and cut it 1 cm longer than the width of the glass. Position this on the face side of the glass plate. Take the carrier proﬁle and remove at least one end piece or lock piece. Coat the carrier proﬁle on the inside with a detergent solution. Position the top of the carrier proﬁle over the rubber and make sure the side of the carrier proﬁle is aligned with the side of the glass plate. First, push the carrier proﬁle manually on the glass as far as possible. Tap the carrier proﬁle into the glass plate with a rubber hammer (we recommend 700 gr) until only the edge of the rubber remains visible. Measure the squareness of the glass against the proﬁle with a try square. The surplus rubber protruding at the sides must be cut off. Remount the end pieces and/or lock pieces.
The basic system has no locking equipment and each carrier proﬁle has 2 standard end pieces (CGPLS). The lockable system is different. The carrier proﬁle of the ﬁrst sliding element (park side), which is ﬁtted with a lock opening, is ﬁtted with an end piece on both sides. For the other sliding elements, an end piece is ﬁtted on one side. A lock is ﬁtted on the other side.
Install the ﬁrst element with lock opening pointing inside on the parking side on the outermost track. Tip the sliding element up in the outermost guide of the upper rail. Tilt the element until it is vertical and let it drop until the wheel guide ﬁts onto the outermost track. The ﬁrst sliding element is now positioned. Check if the sliding element stands perfectly straight and horizontal. If not, the rail and the upper track must be aligned. Repeat this procedure for all sliding elements, each time on the next track. Make sure the lock is pointing towards the parking side. Now slide each element carefully over the entire length of the opening to check that there is no catching on the screws in the upper rail.

The finish

Install the locking block on the parking side on the lower rail with a hex key. Adjust the position so that the lock enters the opening of the carrier proﬁle.
Also test the locking positions of the other sliding elements.
For the seal against rainwater we recommend ﬁnishing the lower rail on the inside with silicone.
You can additionally opt for round handles. We offer two different types:
- to be glued to the glass panels (glass glue can be ordered separately)
- to screw into the glass panels (predrill the glass panels with Ø 60)
To prevent someone walking into the transparent sliding elements, we recommend affixing a self-adhesive opaque strip to the glass at eye level.
If you have ordered the sealing brushes, they can now be sawn to length and be ﬁxed on the glass with a suitable glue (TEC7 transparent or simular).
