P C HENDERSON’ S SOLTAIRE 120 SPECIFIED FOR HIGH RISE PROJECT IN AMSTERDAM
P C Henderson’ s Soltaire 120 system has recently been specified for a striking new development project in Amsterdam North. Overlooking the canal, the new high-rise building was built in 2024 and includes both commercial offices and residential apartments.
One of the key design features of the project was a series of gold architectural panels that would be fitted to the exterior of the building in front of sliding patio doors to enhance the building’ s aesthetic and visual appeal.
To ensure ease of maintenance and access for cleaning, the panels were required to be sliding. The sliding panels were to also play a functional role on the building, by allowing residents to slide the panels to aid solar shading and temperature regulation, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the building. In keeping with the buildings design brief, the hardware was required to be coated in a bespoke RAL colour to match the gold finish of the panels.
P C Henderson’ s Soltaire 120 system was identified as the best system for the project. Designed using stainless steel components, Soltaire is well known for its high performance, exceptional durability and smooth operation in exterior applications. Catering for wooden and metal doors weighing up to 120kg each, Soltaire 120 is P C Henderson’ s flagship product for heavy duty external sliding doors.
Rene van den Biggelaar, Business Unit Manager at P C Henderson Netherlands, commented,“ We’ re delighted to see our Soltaire 120 hardware featured in such an aesthetic, modern project. To align with the client’ s design brief, the track was finished in a bespoke gold coating that seamlessly matched the sliding panels. This project highlights our dedication to supporting bespoke requirements and delivering tailored solutions that bring our customers’ design concepts to life.”
