Sliding Doors
Slender profile sight lines with even the largest of building components – this is the most common reason why architects turn to Solarlux’s Ecoline and Highline series when choosing their bi-folding doors and windows. In order to add even more options for those seeking a uniform aesthetic for their facades, Solarlux has now added the Ecoline S and Highline S sliding doors to its range of thermally insulated, straight-edged aluminium profile systems. Both series offer uniform profile sight lines. The sight line in the sliding doors’ panel butt joint is a slender 55 mm, and there are no visible fixtures in the forend profile strips.
Cero
One of the slimmest on the market
Solarlux’s cero sliding windows, which have won awards for their design, represent the pinnacle of aesthetic appeal, functionality and quality. The latest generation in the series, cero IV, offers greater-than-ever transparency in its incredibly slender building components. The model offers a structural glazing effect at the forend that renders the profile strip almost completely invisible – a feature you won’t find anywhere else on the market. This is possible thanks to the stepped-edge glazing used in the design. What’s more, the total percentage of glass in the sliding elements has been increased once more – the top and bottom sight lines of the cero IV’s profiles are each just 15 mm wide.
Despite the tweaks to the series design, the cero IV retains all the key features that proved so successful in its predecessors: Concealed glazing rebate ventilation reliably prevents a build-up of condensation in the double glazing. The weight of the building components – up to 1,000 kg – is channelled vertically into the running track profile of the floor track via the carriage built into the frame. In addition to this, the model offers a Uw value of up to 0.8 W/(m2K) – thermal insulation suitable for passive house standards. Another noteworthy features is the new locking mechanism, which is now housed in the panel level to allow a smooth, uninterrupted flooring surface.


Highline S
Sliding Doors
With elements up to 3.2 metres wide and 2.8 metres tall, the Highline S sliding door offers incredible transparency and spectacular views. It also features Solarlux’s proprietary, multi-functional, fibreglass-reinforced polyamide “bionic TURTLE” break profile and load-bearing, thermally insulated fitting panels. Both these components have already been featured in the manufacturer’s bi-folding doors, and have proven to offer great thermal insulation. In figures, the Highline S achieves a Uw value of ≥ 0.9 W/m²K, with a building depth of 84 mm. The smooth-running, sealed-bearing, tapered stainless steel rollers run on a stainless steel rail with a specially optimised shape to enable optimum load transfer, particularly for high panel weights. The Highline S sliding door is available with one, two or three-track sub-frames. It also boasts an accessible floor track with built-in drainage. All the joint profiles available for this model can be matched to the existing floor level without any problem to ensure even threshold transitions that conform to German Standard DIN 18040 on the “Construction of accessible buildings”.
Ecoline S
Sliding Doors
The Ecoline S sliding door has an overall depth of 67 mm, and is available with one, two or three-track sub-frames. It also boasts an accessible floor track with built-in drainage. Three types of joint profile are available for this model, all of which can be matched to the existing floor level without any problem to ensure even threshold transitions that conform to German Standard DIN 18040 on the “Construction of accessible buildings”. With a maximum element size (width x height) of 2.7 x 2.5 metres, the Ecoline S sliding door achieves a Uw value of ≥ 1.4 W/m²K thanks to Solarlux’s proprietary, multi-functional break profile, the “Bionic TURTLE”. In addition to this, the system features the same stainless steel carriages used in the tried-and-tested cero sliding window range, with all the Solarlux expertise that comes with them. The smooth-running, sealed-bearing, tapered stainless steel rollers run on a stainless steel rail with a specially optimised shape to enable optimum load transfer, particularly for high panel weights.
