» » AÏR, THE MOST IMPRESSIVE RANGE
of bi-fold and lift & slide doors has added a
new ultra-slim minimal frame sliding door to
its product range – the aïr 20SL.
The new door meets demands from
architects and homeowners alike, looking
for ever-slimmer sightlines on doors but
still wanting the extreme performance and
security that aïr is known for. Launched at the
Everglade Customer Conference 2017, it tied
in perfectly with the trend report from top
London architect Emily Osler from Granit
Architects, who said that sliding doors were
proving to be a great design feature for lots of
their projects.
“We’ve seen the demand for more glass and
less frame growing over the last few years,”
explains Jay Patel, Brand Ambassador for aïr.
“And it’s getting to the point now where savvy,
design-conscious homeowners want to see
minimal frames.”
“aïr 20SL, the minimal frame sliding
door, offers the solution. The sightlines are
an impressive 20mm. The profile has been
specially designed so that the door can be
hidden in the plaster line, giving a moveable
glass wall and more room for captivating
views.”
aïr 20SL offers the extreme performance
you’d expect from aïr. U-values are as low as
1.3 W/m2K, panel sizes can be up to 1500mm
wide and 2800mm high and it’s been tested
for windload up to 2000pa and water tightness
up to 300pa. The slimline sliding door also has
high-security multipoint locking and the Sold-
Secure, diamond-tested Ultion cylinder. Plus,
there’s an impressive 10-year guarantee.
The door is available in lots of
configurations, so that installers and architects
can offer more choice in wide-span sliding
doors for homeowners. There’s the option of a
triple track system, so multiple panes can slide
in the same direction, creating wider openings
and it can also be used to create fixed lights.
Jay adds: “This new addition to the aïr range
adds even more possibilities for progressive
home improvement companies looking to
offer something extra for homeowners. If
you’re one of them we’d like to talk to you
about our Accredited Retailer network.”
aïr is exclusively manufactured in the UK by
Everglade Windows.
