Two New Aluminium Patio Door Systems
S140 Lift & Slide Patio Door
Here at Window Warehouse, we have introduced two new AluK aluminium patio door systems expanding our product line and offering more versatility to our customers.
The S140 is a new ultra-low U-Value, slim sightline Lift, and Slide patio door. Designed specifically for the high-end retail market, from high-rise apartments to coastal villas, the S140 is packed full of smart design features and has the performance to match.
The new AluK slider has the slim sightlines and flush sash aesthetic that buyers love, coupled with impressively low U-Values of just 1.2Uw double-glazed and 0.8Uw triple-glazed.
It’s been designed in conjunction with AluK’s team in Italy so has all the sleek, minimalist flair you would expect, as well as clever UK engineering which delivers a compact 140mm frame depth and effortlessly smooth, double or triple track frame options with an 89mm interlock.
The new door offers plenty of flexibility and can accommodate double or triple-glazed units depending on the thermal performance required and, where acoustics are a priority, it has plenty of capacity for the larger glass thickness.
AluK’s Managing Director Russell Yates commented: “This is a door which ticks every box for installers. It is easy to install and, thanks to the addition of our Quik Clip system, incredibly quick to glaze.
“With bifolds and sliders now selling at an almost 50/50 sales split, and the latest industry research indicating that London-based buyers actively prefer sliders, the S140 really is a great new option for discerning customers.”
The new S140 comes with AluK’s popular Novae handles and impressive security, wind, and weather performance credentials.
S67 Inline Sliding Patio Door
The second patio system is the S67 Inline Sliding door. This contemporary inline sliding aluminium door allows homeowners to open up their homes with much larger expanses of glass – up to 60% larger, when compared to standard UPVC systems.
And, with its ultra-slim 35mm interlock, the S67 sliding door offers almost interrupted views, whilst seamlessly connecting the inside to the outside via its 22mm low threshold.
AluK has ensured that the S67 is quick and easy to install. The pre-glazed sash eliminates the need to glaze on site, the rollers are easily adjustable from 0-4mm, and there is a 67mm frame depth which means installers don’t need to cut back plaster lines when they are replacing existing doors.
As customers would expect from AluK, it also delivers when it comes to performance. The S67 is fully Part L complaint with double glazing (1.4 W/m2K), exceeds UK standards for wind and water tightness, and can achieve 3-40dB acoustics with glazing from 24-32mm.
It is available now with a choice of stylish, ergonomic Novae handle designs for the multi-point locking and is highly configurable with up to 3 tracks and 6 leaves. Homeowners can choose from the full range of single and dual colours from the AluK colour collection, with textured or anodized finishes.
Operations Director Remi Cake here at Window Warehouse said ‘We are thrilled to introduce the S67 into our aluminium factory. We believe it has the potential to become our most popular aluminium door system, offering an effortless replacement that is perfectly positioned to capture the UPVC patio alternative market. An easy fabrication and installation process benefits both our customers and us’.
