ARCHITECTS WELCOME NEW MODULAR
SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM AIMED AT
PREMIUM AND MIDDLE MARKET PROJECTS
Architects working on medium to high-end projects can now specify
from a single range of sliding doors and be confident that they will
find in it a product of exceptional quality that can be tailored to suit
their needs exactly.
Covering both sliding and lift-and-slide doors, the Schueco ASE 60 and
80 platform comprises fifteen opening types including six single-track
options. The result is greater choice, maximum design flexibility and
the ability to accommodate widely differing project requirements.
As the name suggests, Schueco ASE 60 and 80 doors have a basic
frame depth of either 60 mm or 80 mm with a maximum vent size
of 3.2 m x 3.5 m or 3.5 m x 3.2m, which is the largest currently being
offered in the market.
Maximum vent weights are equally impressive, with both systems
being able to accommodate loads of up to 350 kg per vent, offering the
possibility of enhanced thermal performance through triple glazing.
The inclusion of SmartStop or SmartClose technology further ensures
trouble-free and safe operation.
Schueco ASE 60 and 80.HI doors all share certain characteristics:
for example, profile sightlines have been kept narrow (from 82 mm)
throughout, enabling the doors to deliver all the benefits of Schueco’s
traditional sliding systems with enhanced transparency similar to a
panoramic system.
Security levels across the range are up to RC 2 and every system
features slimline meeting-stiles and a flush threshold that overcomes
the possibility of accidents.
A Design Line option is available on all the doors. Design Line offers
enhanced design benefits such as concealed fittings that leave the
visible surfaces of the vent and outer frame completely flush and a
slimline interlock with a 40 mm sightline that delivers today’s preferred
‘more glass, less frame’ look allowing maximum light transmission.

The thickness of the glass that can be used also varies: a Schueco ASE
60 door can accommodate glass with a thickness from 24 mm to 40
mm, while the thicknesses for a Schueco ASE 80.HI door are from 36
mm to 60 mm.
Both systems exhibit exceptional thermal performance. The Schueco
ASE 60, in spite of its narrow depth, offers U w of up to 1.1 W/m 2 K, while
the high-performance Schueco ASE 80.HI meets stringent Passive
House standards.
