A fully glazed, inline aluminium sliding door fabricated by one person from start to finish in just 90 minutes. That’s what AluK is promising with the launch of its brand new S67 slider.
The impressive speed comes from the simplicity of the fabrication process, with straight-cut sashes which means there’s no need to cut glazing beads and adjustable rollers which don’t require any pre-prep.
Paul Booth, AluK’s R&D Director, commented: “We’re confident that this is one of the fastest to fabricate inline sliders on the market, with lots of potential for customers to make strong margins as a result. Key to the design is the fact that the sash is assembled around the glass without the need for bonding or silicone lubricant, so it will be easy to integrate into any factory with only minimal investment.”
AluK has ensured that the S67 isn’t just easy to fabricate though, it is quick and easy to install as well. The pre-glazed sash eliminates the need to glaze on site, the rollers are easily adjustable from 0-4mm, and there is a 67mm frame depth which means installers don’t need to cut back plaster lines when they are replacing existing doors.
In terms of aesthetics, the S67 is a contemporary looking, slim sightline door, with an interlock of just 35mm. It is highly configurable with up to 3 tracks and 6 leaves and comes with a low threshold option of just 22mm, so it is ideal for a seamless inside/outside connection.
As customers would expect from AluK, it also delivers when it comes to performance. The S67 is fully Part L compliant with double glazing (1.4 W/m2K), exceeds UK standards for wind and water tightness, and can achieve 30-40dB acoustics with glazing from 24-32mm.
It is available now with a choice of stylish, ergonomic handle designs for the multi-point locking and in the full range of single and dual colours from the AluK colour collection, with textured or anodised finishes.
