Securely fixed.
Carefully concealed.

Two approaches to connecting steel with the surrounding structure. The opening, access to fixing points and wall finishes guide the detail.

Profile systems

Profile & fixing coordination

The illustrated fixing details below document the existing Artisan system. Heritage’s connection to the surrounding structure is reviewed during design and quotation; its fixed profile dimensions are not changed to suit these details.

01 / Through-jamb fixing

A flush finish.
A concealed fixing.

The steel frame is fixed directly through the jamb into the surrounding structure. A threaded steel plug conceals each fixing point, creating a clean, flush finish.

This method is ideal for internal applications or when retrofitting a steel door into an existing opening.

The steel plug covers the fixing point and is finished to match the frame.

02 / Welded fixing tabs

Fixed to the structure.
Hidden by the finish.

Tabs welded around the outside of the steel frame provide fixing points that are screwed or bolted to the surrounding structure. The wall finishes can then conceal the tabs.

This option is ideal where fixing through the door or window jamb is not practical, or where additional fixing strength is required.

Consider the tab positions and surrounding wall finishes together so the completed detail conceals the fixings.

03 / Plan the connection

Start with
what surrounds the steel.

Share the opening and wall details with your enquiry. These help us discuss the fixing approach alongside the jamb and intended finish.

01

The structure

Show the material surrounding the opening and whether the wall is new or existing.

02

Access & sequence

Tell us which wall finishes are already in place and what will be completed after the frame is installed.

03

The finished junction

Include a section drawing or reference showing how you want the wall finish to meet the steel.
