SF 45

non-thermal aluminium system

The most lightweight of the SUNFLEX folding sliding systems gets its slim elegance through the use of non-thermal aluminium profiles. It is therefore not equally suited to all room applications, but it offers the added possibility of integrating a tilt and turn window instead, thus ensuring good ventilation.

Technical Details (Example SF 55)

Security
The panels are locked and unlocked by a user-friendly single-handed manipulation of robust flat handles. For additional safety, different types of locks are available.

Mushroom head lock
For optimal tightness and burglary resistance, the doorway panel (turn panel) is laterally connected to the frame or the adjacent panel through an additional mushroom head locking.

Safety function panel catcher
In any opening position of the folding sliding system an open turn panel may be safely locked to the adjacent panel by means of safety function panel catchers and be carried along in a controlled way.

Burglar resistance
By means of a safety screw all external hinges are additionally secured against knocking out of the hinge bolts.

Proper handle series
Handles matching the profile design guarantee a harmonized overall picture of the folding system in closed situation and a small panel package when being open.

Twin-Lock mechanism
To guarantee additional safety, the optionally available twin-lock mechanism offers a maximum of security.

Height compensation
The height of the installed folding system may be easily adjusted by a few hand grips, only – this is important in case of eventual structure sagging.

Assembly
The assembly shoes allow a fast and trouble-free assembly of the frame and a fine adjustment of the vertical frame profiles.

Profile system

  • Glazed folding door with non-thermally insulated aluminum profiles
  • The construction depth of the profiles is 45 mm
  • Bottom-loaded or top hung construction
  • Panels open to the inside, outside or to the centre
  • Opening of panels by sliding to one side or to both sides
  • Option of flush or weathered bottom track
  • The flush bottom track is particularly suitable for use in "Barrier-free dwellings" according to DIN 18 025
  • Flush running and guide tracks
  • Height variations can be compensated
  • Square edge or soft/rounded profile structure

Fittings

  • All fittings are concealed within the profiles
  • Low-maintenance, non-corroding and failsafe hardware components
  • Panels are locked via aluminum rods projecting by about 22 mm into the top and bottom track
  • Inside and/or outside locking possible
  • Locking and unlocking of panels via flat handles with locking device for burglar resistance
  • Fitted with profile cylinder locks (optional)
  • An integrated pass through panel with a lever-operated multiple locking system, lock and profile cylinder can be provided
  • An integrated tilt, turn or tilt/turn panel may be provided
  • Hinges are secured against knocking-out of the pivot pins (burglar resistance)
  • An open turn panel may be securely fixed to the adjacent panel by panel catchers

Running assembly

  • The running assemblies with four rollers can be fitted optionally at the bottom or top
  • Low-noise, wear-, heat- and cold-resistant rollers
  • The running assemblies are located above the water drainage area

Sealing and ventilation

  • Using EPDM gaskets at two levels guarantees rain- and wind-proofness

Glazing

  • A glazing configuration between 8 mm to 26 mm is possible
  • Subsequent replacement of panes without difficulty
