Scandinavian AS2 & AS3

Aluclad - Scandinavian AS2 & AS3 Lift & Slide Door

The Aluclad AS2 (double glazed) and AS3 (triple glazed) Lift & Slide doors offer everything you would expect from a "Scandinavian" sliding door. The main frame is manufactured using engineered timber for greater strength, stability and longevity. Externally the system benefits from a maintenance free aluminium clad to provide the best of both worlds. Both double and triple glazed systems utilise the renown lift and slide mechanism to allow individual panels of up to 300kg and ensure effortless, smooth sliding. The unique design and clever engineering allows the system to be glazed with units of up to 40mm creating a double and triple glazed system with equal appearance. The Scandinavian AS2 and AS3 is suitable for both residential and commercial application and commonly used in schools and public buildings due to its quality, versatility and security.

Thermal Efficiency & Weather Tightness

Officially tested and certified to ensure they really do keep bad weather outside. One of the most weather tight multi track sliding systems available.

  • Wind load Class C4 - 2400Pa - EN 12210:2001.

A good U-Value does not mean a door keeps out the wind and the rain. Make sure you check out a doors weather test results before you buy.

High Security

  • High security as standard.
  • Running gear and locking mechanisms are fully concealed. 
  • Multipoint locking mechanism engages in 4 points.
  • Key locking cylinder.
  • Sliding panels cleverly utilise there own weight as a further security enhancement.

Many people opt for no handle or cylinder externally and only request a finger plate to allow easy operation of the sliding sash from outside. This takes away any direct means of attempting to gain access through the sliding door and acts as a major deterrent. Glass is beaded internally for added security.
