Sliding door launch
24th July 2018

Sapa has launched its C160S sliding door. The system includes 50mm glass fibre reinforced polyamide strips to reduce thermal conduction. It is capable of glazing areas up to 2.8m high, with track configurations providing multiple opening and fixed glaze options. glazing depths of up to 53mm.

The design allows for dual colour options, with over 400 powder coated paint colours available in matt, gloss or satin and an optional anodised finish, and accessories available with corresponding colours.

A range of standard and low threshold options are available. The C160S also features a reverse locking principle, with locking plates on the frame side, eliminating protruding locking bolts while protecting the operator from risk of snagging.

Depending on configuration, the C160S achieves weather performance of 600 Pa for air permeability (EN 12207), 900 Pa for water tightness (EN 12208) and 1800Pa for wind resistance (EN 12210).

Market Manager James Wilson said: “Trends in increased daylighting require larger glass sizes and weights; however, when these are applied to sliding doors the system strength and ease of operation are critical.

“Our C160S offers specifiers and homeowners a highly attractive aesthetic line, exceptional performance and remarkable ease of use. Recent C160S developments means we are now ideally placed to advise on optimised large sliding glazed solutions and we would urge customers to contact us for any specification support required.”
