1 Sliding Door Systems Standard Sliding System Reference Brand: Sapa Building System Plaisance 24 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Sliding window and door system with a frame depth of 50 mm (two rail version), 97mm (three rail version) and 143mm (four rail version). The system is part of a modular concept, with interchangeable components, allowing integration of doors and windows of all types in a variety of aluminium structures and building types. Heavy duty profiles, locking systems, stainless steel tandem rollers and rails guarantee a smooth and durable use. The system offers the possibility of a concealed threshold, flush with the floor level and a wide range of handle designs. Devices such as anti lift features and multipoint locks offer enhanced security. Applications: Suitable for single storey to multiple storey buildings in the residential and hospitality segments.

2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Profiles: All frames and other profiles to be extruded in aluminium alloy to specification 6060 T6 IN ACCORDANCE WITH as2047; tolerances in accordance with EN 12020, except wall thickness (+/ 0,15 mm) and profile dimension (+/ 0,15 mm to +/ 0,6 mm). The profile system is supplied with the following quality certificates: - a certificate related to the functional performance of the system (including air, water and wind resistance) Copies of these certificates and test reports will be submitted at the request of the specifier. The glazing rebate height of the profiles is 17 mm minimum. The glass is retained in the vent with U shaped EPDM profiles. Track and head profiles to allow for two rail (two, three and four panel configurations), three rail (three or six panel configurations) or four rail (four panel stacking configurations). Enhanced aerofoil shaped interlocks and meeting stile profiles to enhance appearance and rigidity under high wind loads. The system allows for a concealed threshold, integrated in the floor, with appropriate drainage to the outside. Surface Treatment: Available finishes include anodising and polyester powder coating or a combination of both. Application is carried out through a Qualicoat /Qualanod certified applicator. Colours: Anodised 20 microns either standard (code) or black ( code) or bronze (code) or gold (code) Polyester powder to AS3715 using a powder certified to Qualicoat Class 2, in RAL colour:... with finish of: either matt (30% under 60 angle) or satin (70% under 60 angle ) or gloss (90% under 60 angle) 2

3 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (cont) Connections : The corner connections between the frame profiles are achieved by crimping or notching of the mitred frame profiles. Each corner connection comprises a minimum of one aluminium corner cleat and one stainless steel levelling corner chevron. Crimping / notching of the mitres and connections engages with extruded aluminium corner cleats inserted into the profile chambers. After cutting and milling of the profiles, the cut edges are de burred and degreased. Prior to inserting the corners, a polyurethane adhesive must be applied into the profile chambers. The vent profiles are straight cut. The horizontal rail and transom profiles are inserted in the milled or punched vertical vent profiles and fixed with stainless steel screws. Weather Seals : The sliding doors are equipped with: Twin polypropylene brush seals incorporating a central fin seal between frame and vent and at the interlock and meeting stiles Drainage and ventilation airflow : Drainage of the outer frame is achieved across the profile chambers by sealing off the ends with sealing pieces in PE foam and a ph neutral sealant. The location and size of drainage openings of the panels and outer frame must be in accordance with the system designer s fabrication manual Filling plugs on the vertical panel profiles and draught flaps under the external sliding panel are required to ensure enhanced air tightness. 3

4 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (cont) Hardware: Hardware components are manufactured from extruded aluminium alloy AlMgSi0,5 F22, in stainless steel, in cast aluminium alloy AlMg3 or glassfibre reinforced polyamide. Rollers Rollers: The sliding panels are supported by rollers that move on a AISI 304 stainless steel rail, fixed into a groove within the frame profile. The rollers allow for a weight up to 200 kg per vent and are adjustable for height. The rollers consist of the following components: support and housing in PA6/6 30% glassfibre tandem wheels (diam 23mm) in stainless steel AISI 304 axles in hardened steel 4029 needle bearings in steel fixing and height adjustment screws in stainless steel. Handles: The sliding panels can be operated from the in (and out)side through a single (or double) handle. Handles can be selected according to lock actuation, visual characteristics and passing arrangements of sliding panels, and are available with or without cylinder and lever actuation of the locking system Handle Material: either natural anodised aluminium or powder coated aluminium or coated PVC (SV2006) Handle Shape: either recessed finger pull (SV2006) or solid low profile handle (SV2011/2) or curved tubular handle with grip (SV2007/8/9/10) or locking curved tubular handle (SV2013/14/15) 4

5 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (cont) Locking mechanism: The locking set is concealed in the sliding panel frame and comprises two or three hooks in tempered steel which engage into corresponding latches in the frame. The mechanism is operated through the handle or handle / cylinder unit (in case of a double handle). This system provides a high security level. The control rod is stainless steel. An anti false operation system avoids actuating of the hooks when the vent is in open position. Security and operation A U shaped location piece guarantees a smooth operation and accurate engagement of the lock. Unauthorised removal of sliding panels is prevented by use of anti lift pieces, only removable from inside. The sliding doors can be equipped with a security or anti drill cylinder. The sliding panels are equipped with concealed buffers in EPDM to reduce impact and noise when closing; a buffer gasket covers the corresponding grove in the frame. Glazing: The system accommodates single and double glazing widths of 4 24 mm. The glass is accommodated within the sliding panel frame via U shaped EPDM gaskets. The EPDM gaskets are continuous in order to achieve optimum water tightness. To achieve perpendicular frames the correct ABS glass support wedges from the system supplier must be used in combination with the appropriate glazing infills. Glass should comply with AS

6 INSTALLATION & FIXING Installation and fixing : The doors and windows must be aligned perpendicular and square with the building structure during installation. The connection of the aluminium frames to the structure is carried out so that movements of the building are not transferred to the door. Appropriate fixing brackets in aluminium or galvanized steel are used. Weather tightness between the structure and the aluminium construction is achieved by use of a sealing membrane and an elastic joint with ph neutral sealant. Direct contact between the aluminium and other metals must be avoided through an insulated layer (such as EPDM sealing tape). In case of thresholds in marble, care should be taken to avoid a thermal bridge (by means of EPDM membrane, gasket or PVC profile). The required number of anchors should be calculated and their installation has to be carried out in order to transfer the loads on the windows to the load bearing structure, but observing the following as a minimum: A minimum of two anchors both in height and width is required at both sides of the door with a minimum distance of 200 mm to the corner and the transom. The distance between anchors is 700 mm maximum. At the location of the lock an additional anchor should be positioned to avoid possible deformation when closing the window. 6
