Sliding doors: aluminum systems | Nautilus Philippines

Large-format glazed openings, specified by track configuration: the panel weight and the track that carries it, not the glass.

A sliding door is a structural question dressed as a glass one. Panels this size are specified around weight: what the rollers carry, what the track resists, and how the meeting stiles seal when two moving panels have to close against each other.

The family runs from ND-01, an interior-only system for kitchens and studies, up to exterior systems carrying 100 kg sashes 2.7 m tall, in two-, three- and four-track configurations.

Choose this when

Living areas opening onto terraces and gardens, the classic indoor-outdoor wall
Openings too wide for hinged doors and too tall for standard windows
Interior separations (ND-01): kitchens, studies, dividing a room without darkening it

Inside the frame

The same system, cut open. This is what sits behind the plaster once the trim goes on, and it is where a window succeeds or fails.

A multi-track sliding system cut through the meeting stiles with the insect screen in its own outer track — **Track configuration**6 tracks narrowEach panel gets its own track, and the insect screen runs in a track of its own outboard of the glass. Track count is what sets how wide the opening goes and how much of it clears.

The drainage pathRain that gets past the outer seal collects in the sill chamber and leaves through a channel cut along the base of the profile, instead of running down the face of the window.

A window frame edge in section showing the glazing rebate, the desiccant-filled spacer and the gasket — **The glass build-up**Two panes, a sealed cavity and a desiccant-filled spacer, seated in the glazing rebate on its gasket. The cavity does the insulating work, not the glass.

Sliding window rollers, multi-point locking gear and strike plates laid out on a pale ground — **The hardware set**Rollers, multi-point locking gear and strike plates, laid out separately. This is what carries the sash and pulls it tight against the seal, and it is the part that decides how a window feels in ten years.

Performance

Specified by track configuration and panel weight rather than a wind grade. The heavier sections carry up to 100 kg a panel and are rated by the supplier for balcony doors with good wind resistance under gale.

What a specific opening achieves depends on its size, exposure and installation. That is why we assess the opening before we specify the system.
