Aluplast has launched Aero-slide, an ‘everyday’ inline PVCU option offering a significantly wider span capability than many comparable systems, the company has announced.
Joining Aluplast’s sliding door range alongside the high-end HST85 lift-and-slide and intermediate neo smart-slide, Aero-slide was developed for projects where a fuss-free, reliable patio door is required without the need for a premium system.
Providing customers with a more accessible inline sliding door option for larger openings, Aero-slide combines contemporary aesthetics and high performance with easier fabrication.
Aluplast MD Keith White said: “Aero-slide fills an important gap in our range. We already have premium sliding systems for higher-specification projects, but customers also need a straightforward inline patio door that delivers technically, while remaining competitive in the mainstream marketplace.
“One of the foremost technical features is that we can go to a 2m sash on a 4m, two-pane door, which beats the entire market at 2.4m high.
“In addition, a double brush seal on the interlock and some very sophisticated brush seals on the sash deliver excellent air leakage performance, while the system accepts glazing from 28mm to 36mm thick. This allows triple glazing and U-values of around 1.0W/m²K, depending on specification.”
