SKY-FRAME CLASSIC
FLY
When not in use, the frameless, pleated Fly insect screen fully retracts out of sight into the frame. Tear-resistant tension cords made from Vectran fibre and the integral system section guarantee maximum stability and weather resistance. Fly can cover openings up to 1 m wide.
DRIVE
Sky-Frame Drive’s electric drive facilitates simple and virtually noiseless operation of up to 6 (3+3) sliding panels at the press of a button. The drive is concealed in the ceiling section and allows the window panels to move automatically. The new Sky-Frame Touch control button is a convenient way to open and close sliding windows using the SI-1000 electric drive. Entire systems can be elegantly opened, closed or stopped at any point right at the window by applying gentle pressure on the rocker switch, which is unobtrusively integrated into the locking handle.
GUARD
Sky-Frame Guard offers outstanding burglar resistance thanks to an adhesive bond between the insulating glass assembly and the GRP sections, as well as a multi-point locking system. Various additional components are available to meet further security requirements.
With the Pocket solution from Sky-Frame, rooms can be completely opened up without any visible glass leaves. The sliding elements are recessed and hidden away from sight. Additional features such as Sky-Frame Drive (electrically driven opening and closing) are also available.
INLINE
The Sky-Frame system is supplemented by the filigree post, which has a minimal visible width of just 30 mm. Frameless fixed glass panels can therefore be combined with exterior sliding doors over large areas, forming a flush, continuous glass membrane.
GUN
With special insulated security glass (2-IV with bulletproof glass), reinforced frames and vertical profiles and defined building joints, Sky-Frame 3 Gun ensures optimal protection from gunfire. The Swiss Federal Office for Defence Procurement armasuisse has rated Sky-Frame 3 Gun as FB4, NS (.44 Magnum, no spall).
SUN
The venetian blind system „Sun” with its flat, 80 mm wide aluminium slats offers the perfect solar shading solution for the filigree Sky-Frame sliding windows. Plastic-sheathed guide cords carry slats up to 3 m long to a maximum height of 4 m. The Sun-Box recessed into the floor and the winding mechanism in the blind box facilitate swift dismantling of the guide cords to create an unobstructed opening and their subsequent re-installation. Find out more about our custom window sun screens in the technical specifications below.
COLOR
Create your own Sky-Frame sliding windows: choose the profile colour and we will bring your vision to life. The sliding-window system you choose will be assembled by highly experienced glaziers, metalworkers and coating specialists who work with real diligence and have a passion for what they do.
HURRICANE
Sky-Frame Hurricane sliding doors have exceeded the most stringent hurricane impact tests, and are compliant with the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) criteria as defined by the Florida Building Code – considered to be the gold standard in the industry. Fulfilling the requirements of Miami- Dade County, Sky-Frame’s 2.3 m × 3.5 m panels are one of the largest hurricanerated frameless sliding doors on the world market. The values of 1,200 Pa (25 psf) reached during the driving-rain tests are among the world’s highest, and greatly contribute to the water-resistance of the windows. The sliding doors can be motorized or manually operated with a wide range of opening options and a slim 29 mm sight line offers an unbounded spatial experience for exceptional architecture. Multi-tracks allow an unlimited number of sliding doors to be installed next to each other.
