Product catalog summary
How to Measure and Order Online
1. Measuring the Wall Opening
Use an electronic laser to measure the finished wall opening. For accurate results, use the smallest dimensions to calculate the maximum possible rectangle. Consider constant and non-constant joints for left/right and top/bottom measurements.
2. Calculating Maximum Rectangular Surface
Calculate the maximum rectangular surface that fits within the wall opening. Example dimensions provided: Height = 2697 mm, Width = 1496 mm.
3. Entering Dimensions Online
Input the correct dimensions at www.portapivot.com. Ensure no surface-mounted skirting board is in the doorway for pivot doors without door jambs. Use built-in skirting boards for frameless setups.
4. Points of Attention During Measurement
Check available space in the rotation area and ceiling obstructions such as lights or detectors. Solid construction is essential; mounting on expansion joints is not possible.
5. Mounting Precautions
Ensure proper mounting precautions for both ceiling and floor installations. Portapivot calculates the correct joints based on door choice and setup; only wall opening dimensions are needed for online orders.
6. Standard Joint Dimensions
Various standard joint dimensions are provided for different setups, including without door jambs, with door jambs, and for glass installations. Portapivot calculates these based on your setup.
7. Pivot Positions
Details on pivot positions for different door widths and types (NL Pivot, XL Pivot, Minimax, Glass) are provided. Examples illustrate the minimum axis position (Xmin) relative to door width.
