Aluplast’s new Smart Slide neo is now being fabricated by leading fabricators in UK and Ireland, offering new opportunities with its modern aesthetics and high performance.
Smart-Slide neo has a contemporary minimalist design with slim sightline lines, and can achieve widths up to 4.5m and a height of 2.5m with two panels.
Smart-Slide neo can be finished in a range of 40 different finishes, including the premium range woodec and aludec foils – which is designed to accurately replicate the look and feel aluminium.
“With the new Smart-Slide neo, we are creating new opportunities for customers to capitalise on the growing trend for high-end home refurbishments,” Director of Sales and Marketing Ian Cocken said.
“Having a PVC-U sliding door in your portfolio has always been a key product, but with the Smart-Slide neo we are helping our customers compete with high-end aluminium alternatives.
Smart Slide neo can achieve Passive House levels of thermal efficiency, and can span 4.5m with just two panels – one fixed and one sliding. Three and four-panel options are also available.
Thanks to class leading hardware from either MACO or Siegenia, the Smart Slide neo achieves excellent performance for both air/water permeability, meeting BS6375 for weather tightness, while achieving PAS24 for security.
When the door is the ‘fully open’ position, it lifts away from the gaskets and the weather seals so that it can glide effortlessly on its rollers, while accommodating individual sash weights of up to 200kg.
When it goes into the ‘fully locked’ position, a locking mechanism pulls the sash onto the frame and locks it on all four sides of the sliding sash, and the fixed panel is glazed into the outer frame.
“With Smart-Slide neo, we are allowing customers to compete in a space typically reserved for aluminium systems, while providing class leading thermal, weather and security performance,” Cocken said.
“This could either be on high end domestic refurbishments, or even on newbuild and commercial projects.
“Ultimately, we are pushing the boundaries of what is available in a PVC-U system, and offering a credible alternative to aluminium bifold doors.”
