Our design team has created a product that combines simplicity, elegance and performance, crafted with a clarity of mind and vision that’s echoed in the clean, minimalist slim lines of the ÜniSlide panoramic door system. But slimness is not weakness – after years of design and engineering development, ÜniSlide delivers the robustness required for the varying climate.

System Overview

MINIMAL

ÜniSlide is so simple in its design and is almost to the point that it appears to disappear.

The visible frame sightline can be as small as 20mm with the central interlocking mullions only 60mm.

QUALITY

All parts are made from the finest composition of materials to the highest of exacting standards.

Each panel slides with ease, but with a weight and rigidity that reflects its strength, quality and security.

VERSATILITY

The versatility of our aluminium extrusion systems allows the production of doors in a wide variety of colours inside and out.

Doors can be assembled in a limitless run of units with each sliding panel up to 3m high and 2.2m wide, making it ideal for a wide variety of residential and commercial situations.

MANUFACTURING

ÜniSlide is manufactured to the highest standards in the UK and has been independently tested to British and European Standards.

Additionally, ÜniSlide complies with building regulations and carries the CE mark, meaning it meets all regulatory requirements.

Aluminium: Aluminium profiles are manufactured under an ISO 9001 quality management system. Tolerances on dimensions and form comply with BS EN 755-9 & BS EN 12020-2. Mechanical properties comply with BS EN 755-2. Chemical composition limits are in accordance with BS EN 573-3.

Colours: Available in any RAL colour and special colours upon request. Dual colours (inside and out) are possible.

Specification

Coating: Powder coated to BS EN 12206:2004 Part 1 under an ISO 9001 quality management system.

Maximum sizes: Each sliding panel up to 2.2m wide x 3.0 m high in a limitless run (subject to survey).

Maximum weight: 320kg per sliding panel

U value: Typically 1.4 W/m²K, depending on size and configuration.

g value: Typically 0.74 depending on glass specification.

Weathertightness:Water tightness: Class 5A in accordance with BS EN 12208.Air permeability: Class 3 in accordance with BS EN 12207.Wind resistance: Class A4 in accordance with BS EN 12210.

A 3m high door has been safety tested to 2400Pa, equivalent to a wind speed of 141 mph (Hurricane Category 4 out of 5).

With a highly sophisticated 20mm labyrinth arrangement providing both an industry leading strength together with polyamide thermal separation this is the cornerstone of the ÜniSlide system.

ÜniSlide capitalizes on these advantages offering the highest performance results.

Thermal Performance

Due to clever design ÜniSlidecan be integrated within the building envelope therefore providing a level threshold with integrated drainage system that can easily be bespoke to each project and has proved to offer high standards of water evacuation together with invisible jamb profiles.

ÜniSlide operates with an ease and a reliability expected from the world’s highest quality composition of materials and fabrication techniques.

With a fully functional euro cylinder lock located within the deceit handle and multi point stainless steel security cams you can be assured of the highest security.

Operation and security

ÜniSlide can provide a complete, frameless closure of the building envelope in a seamless, limitless width and up to 3000mm floor to ceiling height, thus providing a high tech interface between the internal comforts and all that the outside elements can muster from the depth of winter to the height of summer.

Weather testing is crucial to ensuring the high tech performance of ÜniSlide and testing is carried out on a 3000mm full-height ÜniSlide door, supervised by an independent CE approved Notified Body. ÜniSlide is tested to achieve the specific British weather performance as required in the British Standard BS 6375-1, not to a generic performance requirement from continental Europe.

The specification of windows and doors in the UK should be carried out in accordance with BS 6375 Part1 “Performance of windows and doors Part 1: Classification for weathertightness and guidance on selection and specification”.

This Standard is used to design windows for weathertightness by firstly obtaining the design wind loading for the site. This can be calculated from the British Standard for wind loading of buildings or from an abbreviated version of this method, which is contained in BS 6375-1. BS 6375-1 then gives the appropriate classes of air permeability and watertightness necessary for the calculated design wind load, and the windows or doors to be supplied should meet these performance classes.

For most of England and Wales, the design wind load is usually in the range 800 Pa to 1600 Pa.

Weather tests

Weather tests on the UniSlide door demonstrate that it meets the 1600 Pa level at a size of 4.4m wide x 3.0m high, and it is therefore appropriate for most of England & Wales. Greater widths are allowable by specifying multiple sliding leafs, as long as each leaf is a maximum of 2.2m wide.

The wind resistance test included a safety test to 2400Pa, which is equivalent to a wind speed of 141 mph (Hurricane Category 4).

The dynamic pressure of wind is described by the equation:-

qb = ½. p. vb²

where qb is the wind pressure, p is a constant equal to the density of air, usually taken as 1.25 kg/m² and vb is the velocity of the wind.
