For large sliders, glazing is not only about Ug: weight, solar factor, heat treatment and laminated layers directly affect hardware and installation.
Aluron / Minimalist lift-and-slide doors
AS 178HS PRO SLIM
A large-format Aluron HST system for residential architecture with a slim central section, all-glass corners, low warm threshold and automation option.
VERIFIED PARAMETERS
Up to 600 kg in a slim architectural language.
AS 178HS PRO SLIM allows very large vents, but at these scales the complete assembly must be reviewed: glazing, threshold, bogies, support base, drainage and installation.
Max. vent size
3300 × 3300 mm
Max. vent weight
600 kg
Visible width
frame from 37 mm
Central interlock
25 / 50 mm
Infill / glazing
up to 59 mm
Element Uw
from 0.7 W/m²K
Air permeability
class 4
Watertightness
E1200
Wind resistance
C3 / B3
Sound insulation
up to 45 (-2; -7) dB
The upper limits of AS 178HS PRO SLIM apply to specific schemes. Each large slider still needs a separate check of glass weight, interlock, rollers, threshold and support.
PROFILE CROSS-SECTION
AS 178HS PRO SLIM profile geometry in detail.
This image shows the system's profile geometry, chambers, thermal breaks and glazing zones. The final junction is selected for the opening scheme, glass build-up, dimensions and project loads.
MINIMAL SLIDING
More glass, less visible framing.
01
All-glass corners and opening corners without a mullion
02
Two- and three-track schemes
03
Low warm threshold and full frame integration into insulation
04
Automated vent movement as a system option
LARGE-FORMAT CONSTRUCTION
600 kg changes the support requirements.
At high vent weights we review more than the profile. Support base, bogies, glass, installation logistics and allowable deformation become part of the structural concept.
01
Support
A continuous rigid base is required with no local settlement under the track.
02
Glass
Thickness, mass, heat treatment and logistics are defined before fabrication.
03
Drainage
The low threshold is coordinated with external drainage and terrace waterproofing.
BIFORIUM / PRACTICE
A system only works as a whole with glass, hardware and installation.
Threshold support, finished-floor level and linear drainage must be coordinated before the unit is ordered.
Open engineering details ↗Manual or motorised hardware is selected after checking the real sash weight and operating scenario.
Threshold support, finished-floor level and linear drainage must be coordinated before the unit is ordered.
FAQ / SPECIFICATION
Questions to close before specification.
Can the system be selected only from catalogue performance?
No. Published values help shortlist options, but the finished element still has to be checked for size, glazing, weight, hardware, loads and installation detail.
Does every opening need the same glazing build-up?
Not necessarily. A south-facing elevation, a bedroom near traffic, a large fixed pane and an entrance leaf can require different glazing within the same project.
When should the installation detail be coordinated?
Before the final order. Finished-floor level, insulation, waterproofing, structural support and drainage can change the frame, threshold or final manufacturing size.
HOW TO READ THE DATA
Six values that shape the result.
A catalogue maximum is not the rating of every fabricated element. Classes depend on size, opening scheme, glazing, hardware and the tested configuration.
