Sliding

Sliding and Folding Systems

Large moving openings engineered for weight, alignment and long-term operation.

Sliding steel glass wall with ultra-slim black profiles opening onto a terrace with a distant mountain view

Overview

Wide openings depend on the parts that are never seen: track, carriage, structural head condition and drainage. These are engineered before the elevation is finalized.

Panel weight, stacking arrangement and operating effort are reviewed against the architectural intent so the opening remains effortless for its full service life.

Applications

  • Indoor-outdoor living
  • Terrace and pool pavilions
  • Hospitality thresholds
  • Coastal residences
