Design Guide - Flush Inset Installation for French Door
1/2" (1.27 cm) OVERLAY PANEL
DIMENSIONS
For a more custom appearance, overlay panels may be
installed on trimmed models. The overlay panel must
be secured to a 1/4" (.64 cm) thick backer panel which
slides into the trim. A spacer panel 0.10" (0.25 cm) thick
must be placed between the overlay and backer panel.
Assemble the panels with glue and screws:
• Center the spacer panel on the backer panel, left to
right and top to bottom. Secure the panels with glue.
• Refer to the following chart for locating the backer panel
to the overlay panel. Secure the overlay panel to the
backer panel with glue and screws. Screws must be
countersunk into the backer panel.
