2-Track Variants

• These streamlined systems provide an excellent structural balance and high operational efficiency for classic residential layouts.

• Available as 2-track 2-shutter configurations, well-suited for medium balcony openings and transition zones.
• Offered as 2-track, 3-shutter, they are designed for specific asymmetric layouts in which one or two glass panels remain fixed, allowing the remaining shutter to slide. While they extend glass spans, the clear opening area is limited to a single moving shutter’s width.
• Crafted as 2-track 4-shutter configurations, enabling wide openings while maintaining the appeal.

3-Track Variants

• Engineered as a 3-track 6-shutter configuration, it features a bi-parting 6-panel design where 3 panels slide to the left, and 3 panels slide to the right. This completely opens up the centre of the wall to the outdoors

Something the robust sliding framing designs can help achieve is block outside disruptions, transforming standard rooms into peaceful spaces.
