Lotus’ seal systems eliminate acoustic ‘mouse holes’ inherent in sliding door systems for maximum acoustic performance.
Two seal combinations that suit different site circumstances and acoustic requirements are available, as shown below. The full perimeter of the opening is acoustically sealed at the top and bottom rail as well as the receiving and trailing jambs.
| Rail or seal | Wall side | Room Side |
|---|---|---|
| Top Rail | Sweep seal | Sweep seal |
| Bottom Rail | Automatic seal | Sweep seal |
| Wall seal | Single sweep seal | - |
| Rail or seal | Wall side | Room Side |
|---|---|---|
| Top Rail | Sweep seal | Sweep seal |
| Bottom Rail | Automatic seal | Automatic seal |
| Wall seal | Double sweep seal | - |
*Type 4 seals can be used on lower rated systems where floors are out of level or where operability is very important.
| Rail or seal | Wall side | Room Side |
