What makes Aluminium so suitable for your project?
Aluminium is a material that can offer its user a virtually maintenance free experience.

As a material it is fireproof, so is an excellent choice for safety and with the sleek powder coat finish, unlike timber will never need to be repainted. Unless clients specifically ask for an anodised coating we as a company, will always recommend a product that has a powder coating as it is far better for the environment.
When discussing the environment it’s important that you know aluminium is recyclable, which in todays market is important as we all share a responsibility and legal requirement to protect our planet. Aluminium as a material is low maintenance and hard wearing. Offering its users longevity of life and offers high levels of wind, water and air tightness which makes it a perfect choice to make your project energy efficient and environmentally sound.
One of the biggest reason’s aluminium is so popular is down to its lightness but extreme strength compared to other materials such as uPVC. This means products can be manufactured to offer a more delicate appearance, as less material is needed to hold the glass. Less frame means more glass, which means more light. Perfect for buildings that are trying to connect the inside and outside worlds together.

ST4-600 lift and slide door
If your looking for a patio door with amazing thermal efficiency, large panes and a smooth light movement the ST4-600 is the right door for you. As it is a lift and slide system the door sits directly onto the track and the handle is wheeled round 180 degrees to lift the door up on to its rollers, meaning the action is all in the door handle. The advanced running gear means these doors are easy to move regardless of weight and this particular system will still allow a smooth gliding light movement for the user with weights as high as 400kg. As this system is aluminium it allows for slimmer sightlines giving a frameless appearance with larger panes which is perfect for architects looking for a sleek modern finish. Unlike your traditional in-line sliding doors the ST4-600 can be locked in the open position which allows for ventilation and prevents children being able to move the door once the lock is activated preventing accidents. However, we never recommend any locked door being left in the open position without supervision.
The ST4-600 is a modern, secure and weather resistant choose for any project.
