Aluminium Extra
PROUD SPONSOR OF ALUMINIUM EXTRA
THE INDUSTRY’S FIRST SYSTEM-
TESTED SLIDING DOOR
The ultra slim Hi-Finity sliding door is one of the first
slim line sliding doors of its type to be tested to the PAS
24:2016 security standard and is available to architects
from leading aluminium system company Reynaers.
» » THE VARIANT OF THE HI-FINITY
sliding door system was tested to a size of 3.1
metres wide and 3.05 metres high, maximising
the height achievable at the independent test
centre. The scale of testing ensures that the
Hi-Finity product can provide large transparent
walls and uninterrupted panoramas with a light
and sleek appearance whilst offering maximum
security levels.
Rebecca Cope, Marketing Manager at Reynaers,
said: ‘‘Our Hi-Finity sliding door has created some
of our most elite projects. Security is a growing
concern amongst many, especially when large
areas of the home are on show through large
glass panes. This product ensures optimum safety
and peace of mind for our clients.’’
The sliding door system has been tested
at dedicated façade engineering consultants,
Wintech, who are accredited by the United
Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) using
state-of-the-art testing facilities.
Wintech tested on a manually operating Hi-
Finity sliding door consisting of one fixed pane
and one sliding pane with an electric locking
system. It is the first bonded door of its type to
be tested to the PAS 24:2016 security standard.
PAS 24:2016 is the latest test method
used for the enhanced security performance
of windows and doors. The product is
intended to resist attacks linked with casual
or opportunistic burglars. The test is also
required as part of the prestigious Secured By
Design accreditation which Reynaers is in the
process of finalising for the Hi-Finity sliding
door.
The extreme strength of the system allows
for large panes of glass weighing up to 750
kilograms and measuring up to three and a
half metres.
Ideal for low-energy contemporary
architecture, the system can be installed in
both residential and commercial projects.
The design utilises an ergonomically designed
handle and concealed locking system as well
as the opportunity to create floor-to-ceiling
and wall-to-wall glass.
