Swing doors: aluminum systems | Nautilus Philippines

Slim-framed hinged doors, down to a 16 mm sash face. That is barely more than a line of aluminum around the glass.

These are interior doors that behave like joinery: hinged, latching, sealed with EPDM against sound and draught, in frames slim enough that the door reads as glass with an outline.

NG-01 carries a panelled 86 mm frame for a more traditional read. NG-02 and NG-03 are the slimline pair, 16 and 18 mm sash faces, single or double glazed, for bedrooms, studies, kitchens and wardrobes. All three hang either hand, inswing or outswing.

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.

The sealing lineA single continuous EPDM strip runs the whole way round. A seal only works where it stays compressed along its entire length, and joins are where they fail.

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.

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.

Performance

The slim sections are stated for interior use and balcony doors; the panelled system for main entrances.

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