The AluK team has launched a new inline sliding door system to replace its BSC94 slider: the S140.
The S140 has been developed in close consultation with customers, and is designed to deliver on the key areas that matter most to both fabricators and installers – from ease of fabrication and minimal stockholding to slim sightlines and easy compliance with Part L.
The new door uses fewer profiles than the BSC94 and is available in both dual- and triple-track options, with a two-part triple track profile. The S140 also offers improved aesthetics, with a flush frame to sash sightline.
AluK’s new door system features enhanced thermal insulation and a triple glazing option so that it can meet the updated U-value requirements for both new build and refurbishment sectors. Double glazed, it achieves a U-value of 1.3 W/m²K. Triple glazed, that is reduced to 1.1 W/m²K. The product also achieves a DER rating of A or B.
Adjustable and self-levelling rollers have been engineered with a new, low-friction polymer, to make the S140 easy to install. Cycle tested up to 100,000 times, the rollers are designed to create a reassuringly smooth, easy-to-operate door for years to come. Three- and five-wheel rollers are available, depending on the weight of the sash, and just two are required per sash, minimising fabrication and installation time. An added benefit is that no CNC machining is required for the rollers.
Fabricators can choose a soft closer with a bespoke AluK bracket that suites with the S140 sash profile. White, black or anthracite grey handles are supplied as standard.
“We said last year that we would deliver a fully compliant Part L offering with both U-value and WER/DER simulations so that they could win new business in both commercial and retail markets,” said Michael Williams, AluK’s managing director. “That’s exactly what we have done.” For more information, visit AluK’s dedicated product page for the S140.
