SCHUECO’S NEW PANORAMIC SLIDING
DOOR OFFERS SLIM SIGHTLINES AND
MAXIMUM TRANSPARENCY
System development is an integral part of Schueco’s corporate
DNA and the urge to improve can lead to new solutions that
provide benefits for architects and end-users. The new Schueco
ASE 67 PD sliding door is a typical example of this. The slimmer of the two options, which has a 57 mm frame, is
especially suitable for use in renovation projects; it offers a lower
overall frame cost but without impacting on excellent levels of
sound insulation (up to 46 dB).
When Schueco UK launched the ASS 77 PD series of ‘panoramic’
sliding doors in early 2012, the move was widely welcomed by
architects looking for a door offering maximum transparency that
could span very wide openings and yet still operate effortlessly. A completely flat threshold is designed to eliminate the
possibility of accidents, while still allowing the door to deliver
watertightness to 300 Pa and wind resistance to Class C3.
The door can be configured in a variety of opening combinations
utilising two, three or four leaves, each up to 3.2 metres wide and
3.5 metres high. Depending upon the particular specification and
the level of insulation required, the moving vent can be double-
or triple-glazed. Using a simplified method of construction which
makes it easier to manufacture, the Schueco ASE 67 PD door is
available in two options with different outer frames.
The deeper 90 mm option caters for even greater weather
performance as it delivers watertightness to 600 Pa whilst
maintaining the aesthetics and sound insulation of the 57 mm
system.
Both versions offer a very slim central mullion width of 31 mm
and can accommodate glass widths ranging from 36 mm to
49.6 mm. A choice of two locking options, one in the centre and
one on the side, ensure that this new system offers architects
considerable design flexibility and security.

Today, a brand new development of these doors – designated
Schueco ASE 67 PD – is set to prove equally impressive. It
provides the same minimal sightlines with an outer frame that
remains concealed in the building structure, resulting in a huge
‘panoramic’ area of clear glass.
