AluK, the expert in
engineered commercial aluminium systems, has further developed its sliding door
offering to give architects and façade consultants a system that allows for
beautiful views and complete design freedom.
Boasting impossibly
slim 21mm sightlines, Infinium, the company’s new in-line sliding door offers
truly panoramic wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling views, making it an ideal
choice for specification in new build penthouse apartments, luxury hotels and
high-end properties.
With projects
increasingly calling for minimal sightline disruptions, AluK’s technical
experts developed Infinium to conceal the outer frame and sash into the
opening.
Understanding that
flexibility and customisation are crucial to specifiers, Infinium is available
in single and dual colour options, with a range of anodised or powder coat
finishes available, ensuring Infinium fits seamlessly with the project’s
overall design aims.
Specifiers benefit
from additional customisation options, with Infinium available in 38mm and 52mm
glazing options, with double and triple glazing on the same outer frame. Beyond
this, Infinium offers both double and triple track configurations, with opening
panels up to 3000mm x 3500mm.
Ensuring that
sightlines aren’t impacted in any way, Infinium has been engineered to feature
cleverly concealed lateral locking handles, with a lock that fully integrates
into the 21mm interlock profile.
Infinium makes it
easy to achieve up to six sashes for large spaces, or for projects that demand
increased glazed space. Far from ignoring function in favour of form, AluK’s
design team has developed Infinium to feature engineered aluminium rollers as
standard, ensuring that panels require the lightest touch to open and giving
the system a luxury feel and operation. The design also enables specifiers to
make the most of the usable living space within their projects.
Infinium’s ease of
operation doesn’t mean a lack of robustness, with the system engineered to be
strong enough to take a maximum sash weight of 400kg, and boasting U-Values as
low as 1.3W/m2 double glazed and 1.0W/m2 with triple glazing.
Nigel Headford,
Sales Director at AluK, said: “We are
incredibly proud of Infinium. Having listened to architects and façade
consultants about their customers’ drive for large, open glazing to create
beautiful spaces, we wanted to be able to engineer in several features that
make Infinium perform beautifully, too.
“The multiple
glazing and finishing options that Infinium offers means that each system can
be truly customised to meet the demands of the project. That said, our flexible
approach means that we can partner with customers from an early design stage on
jobs that require something truly unique.”
To ensure a uniform
level of high quality, AluK has appointed only a select number of partners to
manufacture and install Infinium.
