Delivering luxury with
aluminium sliding doors
Terry Ledwith, National Sales Manager at Reynaers
Aluminium, shares his thoughts on sliding doors – and how
fabricators and installers can pride themselves on quality.
» AS AN INCREASINGLY SOUGHT
after addition to modern homes, sliding doors
are quickly becoming the ‘wow factor’ at the
heart of home improvement projects. Helping
homeowners to flood rooms with natural light,
make them more practical for everyday use and
break down the barriers between inside and
outside spaces, they are an elegant and stylish
way to transform a house into a unique home.
For fabricators and installers who are
carefully crafting these showstopping pieces
of design for discerning homeowners, a
number of factors need to be considered
– from appearance and design capability
through to performance and longevity. In
essence, they need to be sure that the products
they’re offering not only look the part and
outperform expectations, but continue to do
so long after installation.
That’s why, at Reynaers, we’ve developed
CP 130 – a premium insulated sliding system
that combines stunning aesthetics with
uncompromising performance.
FACILITATING CREATIVE FREEDOM
Fabricating the perfect sliding doors
for a customer’s home takes true care and
craftsmanship. To bring this expertise to the
forefront of every project, we’ve developed a
sliding system which has leading performance
built in, providing fabricators with a solid
foundation to unleash their creativity.
Expertly engineered, CP 130 is perfectly
suited to even the most complex and
innovative of designs. In practice, that means
large expanses of uninterrupted glazing can
easily be incorporated into properties to create
spaces to be proud of. But with this modern
aluminium solution, the creation of brighter
and more practical spaces is really just the
starting point.
To achieve a completely unique look, CP
130 makes it as easy to create a typical single
wall configuration as it does to open up
corners in their entirety. Without the need
for a fixed corner post, a pair of perpendicular
doors can meet in the corner of a room,
removing the barriers between indoor and
outdoor spaces, as well as giving homeowners
a remarkable architectural feature to be proud
of.
And the creative freedom doesn’t end there.
While all aluminium profiles from Reynaers
are powder coated for further protection
and to facilitate low maintenance after
installation, this process unlocks a virtually
infinite range of colour options. Combined
with a comprehensive range of handles and
accessories, aluminium sliding doors from
Reynaers can be customised to perfectly suit
their environment. For fabricators, that means
true creative freedom. For homeowners, it
gives them the opportunity to leave their
unique mark on their home.
UNCOMPROMISING
PERFORMANCE AND AESTHETICS
Alongside looking the part, sliding doors
also need to perform. Naturally, when
incorporating more glazing into the envelope
of a building, there are two critical factors
which must be considered: thermal efficiency
and performance.
Featuring double and triple glazed options,
CP 130 boasts a U-value as low as 1.1 W/
m2K to deliver industry-leading levels of
thermal insulation. For end-users, that
enables them to enjoy the views and seamless
practicality of sliding doors, without having
to compromise the efficient performance of
their home, nor the appearance of their sliding
doors. Alternatives, such as uPVC or timber,
for instance, require thicker frames to provide
the necessary strength and performance
characteristics which are required for sliding
doors, while aluminium offers slim profiles
and practically uninterrupted views.
Precision engineered, the slim and innately
strong aluminium CP 130 profile also provides
excellent levels of security and weather
resistance, alongside everyday usability.
In-built features, including a lift-and-slide
mechanism, enable doors to be opened with
even the lightest of touches – no matter their
size. Reynaers’ sliding door systems are also
rigorously tested to ensure the highest levels
of performance and durability. That means
installers can be safe in the knowledge that CP
130 solutions will continue to move with ease
for years to come.
With many options and configurations
to choose from, aluminium sliding doors
are leading the way in home improvement
projects. To deliver the very best in
performance and aesthetics, explore the

130 at www.reynaers.co.uk or email Terry.
