Sky-Frame Frameless Sliding Doors
Sky-Frame Frameless Sliding Doors
The name “Classic” not only evokes the timeless appeal of the rectilinear window assembly, but also highlights its historical significance as the first ever Sky-Frame system. The sliding windows comprise insulating glass units with perimeter aluminium or glass-fibre-reinforced plastic (GRP) sections. Mounted in aluminium frames that are fitted flush with floor and ceiling, the sliding units offer minimum rolling resistance when operated. The system drainage for the flush assembly is via recessed channel or is installed below the raised outdoor floor covering.

CHARACTERISTICS
Individuality
Sky-Frame understands the needs of its customers and can deliver a premium sliding window solution for any living situation – whether for urban life in a city apartment or for carefree relaxation in a rural holiday home. Sky-Frame and its experienced distribution partners offer clients and architects professional advice and support – right from the outset and through to completion of tailored spatial concepts.
Aesthetic Appeal
With ceiling-height window fronts, organic curves or sloping glass units, Sky-Frame lays the foundation for customized spatial concepts and outstanding architecture. Inspired by the Bauhaus vision of “free-flowing space”, the flush-threshold sliding glass doors open up the home interior. Indoor and outdoor space merges to create a unified living environment. Wall pockets allow the sliding windows to be fully retracted out of sight.
Convenience
The Sky-Frame system includes a range of features for enhanced comfort. The Sun solar shading assembly offers protection against strong sunshine. The Fly insect screen allows the insect-free enjoyment of warm summer days and balmy evenings. Automatic drives permit soundless and, if required, remote-controlled operation of the window units.
Technology
As a testament to Sky-Frame’s engineering prowess, the complex technology – though fully concealed – is exceedingly simple to operate. Yet, as in all areas of human endeavour, improvements and refinements are always possible and, for Sky-Frame, this is what drives the unceasing process of product innovation.
