Schueco’s evolutionary new panoramic sliding door provides slim sightlines and maximum transparency

System development is an integral part of Schueco’s corporate DNA, and the urge to improve can lead to new solutions that provide benefits for both architects and end-users. Schueco’s new ASE 67 PD sliding door is an excellent example of this.

Buildings.

Launched in early 2012, the ASS 77 PD series of ‘panoramic’ sliding doors from Schueco UK were widely welcomed by architects for their high levels of transparency and ability to span very wide openings while operating effortlessly.

A brand-new development of these doors – designated Schueco ASE 67 PD – is set to prove equally impressive. It incorporates the same minimal sightlines, with an outer frame concealed in the building structure, resulting in a huge panoramic area of clear glass.

The door can be configured in a variety of opening combinations, utilising two, three or four leaves, each measuring up to 3.2 metres wide and 3.5 metres high. Depending upon the particular specification and the level of insulation required, the moving vent can be double- or triple-glazed.

Using a simplified method of construction for ease of manufacture, the Schueco ASE 67 PD door is available in two options with different outer frames. The slimmer of the two options has a 57mm frame and is particularly suited to renovation projects. It has a lower overall frame cost, without impacting on excellent levels of sound insulation (up to 46 dB). A completely flat threshold is designed to eliminate the possibility of accidents, while still allowing the door to deliver watertightness to 300 Pa and wind-resistance to Class C3.

The deeper 90mm option provides even greater weather performance, delivering watertightness to 600 Pa, while maintaining the aesthetics and sound insulation of the 57mm system.

Both versions incorporate a slim central mullion width of just 31mm, and can accommodate glass widths ranging from 36mm to 49.6mm. A choice of two locking options – one in the centre and one on the side – ensure design flexibility and security.
