ALUMINIUM
THE ‘SKINNY’ ON NEW SLIMLINE SLIDING DOOR
» SENIOR ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS
has added further choice to its popular range
of aluminium residential patio doors with
the launch of the new PURe® SLIDE SL – a
slimline version of the company’s patented
sliding door which offers some of lowest
U-values available.
Developed to meet the growing demand
for slim profile aluminium systems that offer
wider views and maximum daylight, the new
PURe® SLIDE SL features a narrow 50mm
interlock. Despite boasting an interlock
design that is nearly half the width of the
standard PURe® SLIDE door, the new PURe®
SLIDE SL still offers exceptional thermal
efficiency, security and is available in the same
large spans and weights.
Thanks to the innovative design of Senior’s
patented PURe® system, which features an
expanded polyutherane (PUR) thermal barrier,
the new PURe® SLIDE SL aluminium door
can achieve U-values as low as 1.08 W/m2K
when calculated as a CEN Standard door. As
well as remaining compliant with the security
requirements of PAS 24 and being fully
weather tested, the new slimline sliding door is
available in both the popular Inline Slide and
Lift & Slide configurations.
Further design flexibility is offered through
Senior’s in-house powder coating facility,
allowing an almost unlimited choice of colours
both inside and out. The new PURe® SLIDE
SL aluminium door is also available with a
choice of chamfered and square beads or
a combination of the two. Precision
engineered so the sliding door
effortlessly glides open, the new
door option has, like all of Senior’s
products, been expertly developed to
be both easy to fabricate and install.
Commenting, Senior’s sales
director James Keeling-Heane said: “Our
residential product offering continues to go
from strength to strength and in response to
the growing demand for slimmer sliding doors
that offer larger glazed areas and uninterrupted
sightlines, we are delighted to add the new
PURe® SLIDE SL door to our range.
The new PURe® SLIDE SL aluminium
sliding door is the latest option to be added
to Senior’s patented low
U-value PURe® range, which also
includes the popular PURe® FOLD doors
and a variety of window options including
traditional casement and tilt and turn as well
as reversable, overswing and parallel push
option.
