Use and versions
Climaglide is a glass sliding partition for single glazing. This system can be locked on the inside, and provides some protection against wind and rain. 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).
With a double system, half the sliding elements are set to the left, half to the right. The bottom rail is pre-drilled twice beneath the track at the inside. This allows you to lock the system from the inside.
The glazing is provided by the customer/fitter in toughened (tempered) glass with a thickness (D) of 10 mm.
The version of your Climaglide glass sliding partition is determined by a code CG XYY L/R D:
Example: CG 303 L 10 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 10 mm. CG 408 LR 10 is Cllimaglide glass sliding partition with 4 tracks and 8 sliding elements that partly to the right. It is equipped with a glass thickness of 10 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 specialized 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.
gutter or gutter rafter
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 3000 mm. The maximum weight of the glass is 80 kg.
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. 10 mm
Below is a calculation example to clarify this.
Given:
A single system CG 303 L 10 with a total width Bp of 2975 mm and an Hg of 2150
mm This glass sliding partition has 3 panels (X) and 3 tracks
Calculating the height of the glass plates: 2150 – 85 = 2065 mm
Calculating the width per glass plate: (2975 -31,6+31(3-1))/3-2,5= (2975 –
31,6+312)/3 – 2,5 = (3005,4)/3 – 2,5 = 1001,8-2,5 = 999,3 mm = 999 mm.
For this glass sliding partition, 3 glass plates of 997 x 2065 mm must be
ordered in tempered glass of 10 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 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.
In the case of a GXLX gutter (Climalux Horizon), always do this in the second
slot.
Bottom rail (CGB)
The single system with sliding lock only has drainage holes. The double system
has 2 holes in the bottom rail to lock the sliding elements. These holes are
positioned in the central inside part of the bottom rail. Make sure the
horizontally drilled drainage holes are pointing outwards and the locking
holes at the end match. 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 profile (CGL10) + side profile with sliding lock (CGSHS)
Needs to be sawn to the precise length on the construction site. Saw the side
profile only from the top side. Make sure the milled-out opening is facing
downwards. Position the side profile with the bottom side first and then place
the top end part in the correct position. For centering side profile (CGL10)
use upper and down mounting block (CGCAL10U, CGCAL10D). First position the
side profile on the parking side and centered 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. Screws should have a chamfered head (max.
diameter of the head is 10,4 mm). Do the same against the other stanchion, but
centrally above the innermost track. For the fixation, it is sufficient to use
4 screws only: one at the bottom, two in the centre and one at the top side.
Additional holes are used in case of damaged screw threads.
Sliding elements (CGPL)
The carrier profiles are custom-made and fitted with wheel guidance and locks.
In the single system with one lock, there is one carrier profile fitted with a
lock opening. It’s used for the sliding element on the parking side. There is
also another carrier profile with locking side which goes to side profile with
sliding lock.
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.
In case of single system, there are end pieces CGPLS10 on each carrier profile on both sides, except on the carrier profile which is locked by the sliding lock this profile has a shorter end piece (CGPLSS10) on the locking side and a standard end piece. In case of double system, there are two locks (CGPLL10), one on both carrier profiles. On the opposite sides and other carrier profiles, there are end pieces (CGPLS10). On the rest of carrier profiles, there are two end pieces (CGPLS10).
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).
