ALU CLAD TIMBER SLIDERS
Aluminum cladding provides a virtually endless life to timber sliding doors.
These examples will help you in communicating your demands with Arbor. The proportions seen on these pictures are solely exemplary. Any size and proportion can be achieved within technical limitations.
Although wood provides wider possibilities than uPVC in terms of window dimensions, there are still dimensional limitations that should be taken into consideration about Arbor products. These limitations are meant to ensure the lifetime maintenance of vital window functions. Our sales representatives will direct your preferences in these ways.
We offer different sliding styles with different mechanisms such as folding, lift-slide and slide-n-tilt. Decision must be made according to the expectations. Folding windows and doors have inter-hinged sashes that fold and stack smoothly on a side. Lift-slide windows and doors have strong fittings that lift the sash to slide open from a small distance to full width and may be fixed by lowering in any position. Slide-n-tilt mechanism requires moving the sash in and outwards when opening and closing. It is also possible to leave the sash in tilt position, to provide safe and secure ventilation.
Aluminum cladding, which provides life-long solution for exterior window surfaces is possible for all our windows.
