AluK is launching the S140, a new inline sliding door system to replace its existing BSC94 slider.
The new door uses fewer profiles than the BSC94 and is available in both dual and triple track options, including a two-part triple track profile.
It also offers improved aesthetics over its predecessor, with a flush frame to sash sightline. Externally, the sightline dimensions are almost identical, making sure end users still get the sense of more glass and less frame which is such a key driver in sliding door purchases.
The system also features enhanced thermal insulation and a triple glazing option so that it can easily meet the updated U-Value requirements for both new build and refurbishment. Double glazed, it achieves a U-Value of 1.3 W/m2K and triple glazed, that is reduced to 1.1 W/m2K. It also achieves a DER rating of A or B.
New, adjustable and self-levelling rollers, engineered with a new low friction polymer are also cycle-tested up to 100,000 times. There are three-wheel and five-wheel rollers available depending on the weight of the sash, and just two are required per sash. An added benefit is that no CNC machining is required for the rollers.
Fabricators can choose a soft closer with a bespoke AluK bracket which suites with the S140 sash profile, and have the option of white, black or anthracite grey handles as standard.
