Sliding Doors

With three sliding door systems available from the Alspec range, there is a sliding door system to suit any application.

The Altitude door is a versatile sliding door suited for most residential applications. The Proglide door is suited to both residential and commercial applications where larger doors are desired, as the span and weight capacity is greater than the Altitude door. The Hawkesbury Sliding Door is a top hung sliding door that has a greater weight and panel size capacity than both the Altitude and Proglide doors.

Altitude® Sliding Door

The new Altitude® Sliding Door has been specifically designed with the latest trends in architecture in mind. The door allows architects and designers the ability to achieve expansive openings without the need to compromise on performance or aesthetics.

Specifying the Alspec® Altitude® Sliding Door ensures the client receives a stylish, high performance product.

Designed by Alspec® to meet the extremes of the Australian environment, the Altitude® Apartment Sliding Door is the premier choice by architects, builders, home owners and fabricators when looking for a great sliding door.

Alspec’s® High Performance Sliding Door

ProGlide® is an update of the Commercial Sliding Door featuring new sill sections for both Double and Triple Track and a number of new sash options that allow for thicker glass, double glazing and an on site glazing option.

The major changes include new sill sections with drop in tracks which can easily be replaced if damaged or worn and their unique design covers the unsightly drainage slots in the sills with the added benefit of increased water performance. All existing hollow sills continue to be available for applications where a sub sill is not used.

Gutter sills in both double and triple track versions are now available for flush sill applications and these incorporate an aluminium, or stainless steel grate to drain surface water.

A comprehensive range of sash options are now available for ProGlide®:

  • Existing SG sashes for 5mm – 10.38mm glass
  • New sashes with 18mm wide pockets to accept glass up to 14mm
  • New DG sashes for 18mm – 25mm IGU’s
  • Glazing adaptor and rail for 28mm IGU’s
  • New deep pocket SG sashes for onsite glazing 5mm – 6.76mm wet glazed on site
  • New onsite DG sashes for 18mm, 24mm and 25mm IGU’s wedge glazed using “eco” range of gaskets

These new sill and sash options add to a comprehensive list of features and benefits of the ProGlide® High Performance Sliding Door. These include a wide range of interlocks combinations to meet height and wind load requirements, standard lock stiles that accept face fix or mortice locks, wide stile options catering for special locks, highlite and screening options.

These ongoing developments will ensure that the ProGlide® High Performance Sliding Door remains at the forefront of sliding door design.
