Achieving unprecedented width in a weathersealed external sliding opening, windows and doors using Centor's WS sliding system feature a fixed panel at one end and two sliding panels returning parallel to the fixed panel position when fully open. When used as a pair with two panels opening each way, WS allows for openings as wide as 5.9 metres wide by 2.5 metres high.
Typically used with timber-framed glass panels up to 150 kilograms in weight, WS hardware and tracking is deliberately unobtrusive and is concealed where possible, putting the focus on the craftsmanship of the joinery and the grandeur of the views beyond.
Carriers and tracking
WS slides on two double-gantry roller carriers rebated into the base of each door panel. Each carrier allows for 8mm of vertical adjustment with a simple screw mechanism accessed via a small hole in the panel. Matching sill and head tracks are produced in aluminium with natural or bronze anodised finishes available.
Panel control
Dedicated door collection and interlock fittings keep door panels under control open or closed. Centor's key-lockable DL dropbolts, best suited to the close passing-clearances of sliding doors, are a good choice for anchoring closed doors firmly into place.
Weather resistance
Fitted with appropriate weatherseals doors based on the WS system provide a high level of protection from wind and water in external applications. Centor recommends and supplies Schlegel weatherseals where required. The extruded aluminium sill provides a positive drainage system at the base of closed doors using WS.
