Deeper Dive & Resources

Discover detailed information about Zero Sightline to make informed decisions for your commercial restroom design.

Zero Sightline impacts component design and affects various aspects of partition design:

  • Door and pilaster thickness must be similar for proper implementation.
  • Doors are wider than door openings to provide the required overlap between doors and pilasters.
  • Pilasters must be at least 3″ wide to accommodate hardware and not interfere with the Zero Sightline rabbet.

Some hardware configurations may not be compatible with Zero Sightline, including:

  • Concealed (Soss) Hinges: These hinges require flat door and pilaster edges. This is not compatible on the hinge side with the lapped Zero Sightline feature.
  • Flat Hinges and Strikes: May require jambs for compatibility. Consult with Ironwood for alternative solutions or adaptations.
