Sliding windows: aluminum systems | Nautilus Philippines

For wide openings where a swinging sash has nowhere to go. Panels move sideways on rollers and never claim floor space.

A sliding window trades the casement’s compression seal for width. Nothing swings into the room, so it suits kitchens over counters, walkways, and any wall where furniture sits close.

All four systems are thermally broken with concealed drainage. The differences are in the running gear: track count, roller load, and NW-04’s lifting mechanism, which carries 120 kg a sash and locks it down when closed.

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.

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.

Aluminum profiles in section showing the polyamide thermal-break strips between the inner and outer chambers — **The thermal break**The blue strips are polyamide, threaded through the profile to hold the inner and outer halves apart so heat and condensation cannot bridge the metal.

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.

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