The performance of sliding doors depends on the materials and internal mechanisms used in the production process.

Steel frames

Steel thickness increases the strength of the structure however it also influences the flexibility of the system. We use the optimum thickness of 1.2mm steel.

Steel framed doors can be used for all of our furniture solutions, however they are not suitable for use as partition doors.

Steel framed sliding doors move along the lower track while their motion is guided by the upper track. The mechanism consists of 2 lower wheels and 2 top leading triple wheels.

Upper wheel technology
The upper triple wheel is equipped with cushioning springs to guarantee maximum stability even if there is a fault on the track.

Lower wheel technology
The lower wheels are equipped with bearings and an anti-jump function. The bearings enhance durability and enable the door to move quietly. The anti-jump feature stops the door from detaching from the rail.

Aluminium frames

Because the mechanism is mounted inside transverse frames, these doors can be used as sliding partitions. There are 2 types of aluminium framed doors:

1. Rolling floor doors

The door moves on 2 wheels along the lower track with its motion guided by 2 top wheels on the upper track.

Lower wheel technology
The double wheel mechanism with bearings and equaliser function is able to compensate for an uneven floor. The door is never ‘free-hanging’ - it is always supported by the lower wheels, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.

2. Suspended doors

The door moves along an upper track while its movement is guided by the lower track. It is hung on 2 rails which use pairs of wheels and bearings to slide from side to side – this ensures steady and silent movement.

Sliding doors can be single sided - if being used for a wardrobe or storage space or double sided is being used as partition doors. Double doors can be created with different finishes on either side to compliment the décor of each room.

Softtouch doors
This is an additional option. A shock absorber gradually closes the door. This helps prevent it from shutting with a bang.
