Title: Sliding doors
Post by: Oakley Windows on April 15, 2009, 04:12:12 pm

Ive tried to get the bit I need to show in this picture, but failed I think

I'll try my best to explain.

So, where 2 sliding doors meet theres always an overlap, whihc seems inaccesible, and I cant seem to get this area clean, are there any tricks that can be used to be able to achieve this?

The strip Im talking about is about 1 1/2 inches wide and the full height of these doors, which is about 12', and just too thin to get fingers and a cloth in between.

Thanks.

Matt

Matt, can't you afford a window cleaner? Just pay someone else and forget about it.  ;)

can you not thread a micro through the gap and just drag it down a few times.

Well, I think the only way to do it is to insert a cloth between the panels soaked in RO, has anyone done this and does it work? It is awkward though as theres a draft excluder running all the way up and this makes getting anything in there all the more tricky.

I think thats the solution. maybe cut a small hole in the corner of your microfibre and tie a bit of string through it so you can thread it between the panes.
