DESIGN

Monorail

A Monorail combines a movable vent on one side of the frame with a stationary glazed element anchored directly into the frame on the other, creating a minimalistic look. Utilizing a fixed panel in lieu of fixed vent reduces sight-lines while allowing for the integration of optional inward opening window(s) into the interior side of the frame. However, it is possible to mount the fixed portion on the outside, when glazing the unit from the exterior is desired.

2-Rail-3 Rail-MULTI-RAIL

The outer door frames can be expanded from two (2) to eight (8) rails deep holding up to 16 panels; the combinations are endless, facilitating creative designs for very large openings. Any of the vents can be made into sliding elements, yielding a wide range a door combinations and flexibility for users.

ZERO THRESHOLD Hi-Finity is always a zero threshold solution, but we also offer 2 alternatives: 

Profile Finish lets you cover the track area, so the floor level remains the same everywhere, which is especially useful with multitrack solutions. Floor Finish lets you completely erase the system boundaries, by continuing the flooring on top of the system. When the door is opened, the bottom profile ‘disappears’

This table shows classes and values of performances, which can be achieved for specific configurations and opening types. (1) All results based on gateway sizes; vary depending on glass/profile combinations | Above Uw & SHGC values do not necessarily work in combination. (2) Uw is the measure of heat transfer through the fenestration product with glass. The lower the Uw, the better the thermal insulation of the element. (3) The sound reduction index measures the capacity of the sound reduction performance of the frame and glass. (4) The air tightness test measures the volume of air that would pass through a closed window at a certain air pressure. (5) Water tightness testing applies a specified air pressure differential while simultaneously spraying water on to the ext. face of the assembly at the rate of 5 gal/hr/ft2.
