Install sliding tracks on concrete slab, conservatory

[Frank M]

Hijacking the thread because I have the same question. But in my case, the slab is larger than the actual conservatory. I'm a bit concerned that if I place metal under the track for the sliding doors (Willab Garden WG 62 Eco), there might be a slight slope backward, towards the track itself. What do you think, is it enough to have a bead of sealant to prevent water from seeping under the track?

Hi! How have you managed?

Hi! How have you managed? I personally placed my sliding doors on a slab that was larger than the conservatory. I solved this with a sheet ordered from the metalworker under the sliding doors and a sealant between the sliding door and the sheet.

Hi! How did it go for you?

Hi! How did it go for you? I myself placed my sliding doors on a base that was larger than the conservatory. I solved this with a sheet metal that I ordered from the tinsmith. under the sliding doors and a seam between the sliding door and the sheet metal.

Solved it like this:


Bought eaves strip. Laid a layer of sill lining (roofing paper?) and a layer of sill insulation and then sheet metal. Then the track on the sheet metal. The reason I laid sill lining/insulation was partly to get a slope on the sheet metal, but also to prevent drafts.

Jumping into this thread as I have the same question. But in my case, the slab is larger than the actual sunroom. I'm a little worried that if I put metal under the track for the sliding doors (Willab Garden WG 62 Eco) there might be a slight slope backward, towards the track itself. What do you think, is it enough to have a bead of sealant to prevent water from seeping under the track?

Also making a little thread hijack here, hope that's okay
How did you attach the pillars to the concrete slab so that the mounting is not visible? We are going to build a sunroom on an existing concrete slab but don't want visible post brackets. This looked very nice!

How did you attach the columns to the concrete slab so that the attachment is not visible? We are going to build a sunroom on an existing concrete slab but do not want visible post shoes. This looked very nice!

I just used two brackets (sturdy ones) per post, one on the inside and one on the outside of the sunroom, which were then hidden behind the sheet metal you see in the front image. On the inside they are still visible, but I'll paint over them, and then flooring will cover most of the bracket.

How did you install the posts that aren't attached to the wall against the concrete slab?

How did you mount the posts that are not attached to the house wall against the concrete slab?

Hi, sorry for the late reply, not sure if you still need help. But you can see the answer to your question in my previous post above. I just used two brackets per post, which I attached to the concrete slab and the post. Mainly for stabilization, the weight of the conservatory itself keeps the post in place. It has stood for five years without any problems.
