Installation of Corner Sliding Door in Norwich Using ASE 60 Double Track System
This case study highlights the installation of a corner sliding door system in a prestigious building in Norwich. The focus of the project was to deliver a high-quality, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing solution using the ASE 60 double track sliding door system. The system was paired with COOL-LITE®️ SKN Solar Control Glass and supported by Contract Lift by Randals Crane for safe and precise glass handling.
Property Development
The client is a leading property development firm in Norwich, specializing in high-end residential projects. The company wanted to create a distinctive, modern architectural feature that not only improved the building’s design but also offered advanced functionality. The project involved the installation of large, high-performance sliding doors to facilitate seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.
Project Scope
Challenges
The glass panels, while sleek and visually appealing, were large and heavy. Ensuring the system could support these panels without compromising on functionality or security was a primary concern.
Installing a sliding door system with such large glass panels, especially in a corner setup, required ensuring that the sliding mechanism would work seamlessly without any hitches.
The corner design meant that the track system had to be custom engineered to handle the unique angles, weight distribution, and sheer size of the panels while maintaining smooth operation.
The specialized COOL-LITE®️ SKN Solar Control Glass needed careful handling to avoid damage during transportation and installation. Lifting and positioning such large panels required careful planning and precision.
Solution
The ASE 60 double track sliding door system was chosen to meet the demands of the project, as they are designed to support large sliding glass panels, making it ideal for corner installations.
The key feature of the ASE 60 system is its double track mechanism, which allows two tracks to support multiple panels, enhancing stability and ensuring smoother operation. This feature is especially important for large glass installations where a single track may not provide sufficient support. The double track system distributes the weight of the glass across two tracks, allowing for smoother and more balanced sliding.
The ASE 60 system is designed to handle heavy loads, which was crucial for this installation. With large COOL-LITE®️ SKN Solar Control Glass panels, the sliding system’s capability to support up to 500kg per panel ensured that the system remained robust while allowing for smooth, easy operation of the door panels.
The ASE 60 system is engineered for a smooth glide, with precision rollers and track alignment that ensure the glass panels move easily without friction or resistance. The corner sliding door, which required more intricate maneuvering, was installed with the utmost precision, ensuring that the door could be used with minimal effort.
The sleek design of the ASE 60 system enhanced the overall aesthetics of the corner sliding door. The system’s minimalistic look complemented the glass-to-glass joint and contributed to the clean, contemporary style of the building.
