For large sliders, glazing is not only about Ug: weight, solar factor, heat treatment and laminated layers directly affect hardware and installation.

ASE 60
A modular platform for large sliding and lift-slide constructions. ASE 60 combines a slim interlock zone, low threshold, concealed fittings and SmartStop / SmartClose options.
VERIFIED PARAMETERS
Large formats require geometry and weight checks.
For ASE 60 the opening type, tracks, glazing, vent weight, threshold and support base must be engineered together. The mechatronic TipTronic variant supports vents up to 600 kg.
System depth
140–232 mm
Visible width
vent 82 mm · meeting stile 40 mm
Frame Uf
from 1.8 W/m²K

Max. vent size
up to 3500 × 3500 mm
Max. vent weight
up to 500 kg
Sound insulation
up to 41 dB
Air permeability
class 4
Watertightness

ASE 60 size limits depend on opening scheme, panel weight and hardware package. Before ordering, we check the actual panel rather than relying on catalogue maxima alone.

INSTALLATION & DRAINAGE
The track must work as part of the building.
For large sliding systems, a rigid continuous support, finished-floor levels, drainage and waterproofing are critical. The profile cannot compensate for a weak base.
01
Support base
We verify continuity and allowable deformation along the full track length.
02
Threshold & water
Finished-floor levels, system drainage, external channel and waterproofing are coordinated together.
03
Glass installation
IGU weight determines logistics, vacuum handling and the safe installation sequence.
BUILT PROJECT
ASE 60 in a Mediterranean residence.
At the Estepona residence ASE 60 is combined with AWS 65. Planitherm 4S glazing was selected around solar exposure and large glass areas.

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.
SLIDING REVIEW
Send width, height and opening scheme.
We will check glass weight, threshold, track configuration, drainage, support base and whether manual or automated operation is appropriate.
