Circular Sliding Door To 6m In Height

As with our linear sliding mechanisms, we engineer our curved sliding mechanisms to provide a solution to meet the demands of the design intent relevant to each project.

Whether the mechanisms are used to manoeuvre a curved screen, bi-parting curved doors or a curved bi-parting drum slider; we carry out a series of engineering calculations to determine the suitable drive mechanism relative to the weight and size being moved. This enables efficient, safe and reliable automation for each project, either from above soffit or below ground. We also aim to ensure that any required structural elements do not impinge on the adjacent façade or partitions and that our solutions are designed as stand alone configurations.

In the event of our curved sliding mechanisms being used within an entrance, we have developed a design philosophy that focuses on minimalism and transparency. Our signature all-glass drums achieve the tightest possible radii with no blemishes, stretch marks or roller wave distortion that are inherent problems associated with curved glass.

We reject the necessity for a solid metal lid or 'top hat', just to make life easier by installing mechanisms overhead. Instead, we endeavour to conceal our curved sliding mechanisms beneath finished floor level, affording the entrance to incorporate a glass canopy where appropriate. Our glass drum walls are produced in one piece to minimise the necessity for profiles, creating uninterrupted curves, whilst our trademark bull nose curve connections between drum and façade further enhance the clarity of our work.

On projects that require alternative cladding resources such as metal, timber, composite products or even leather, we ensure that the highest class materials are utilised. We pride ourselves on a quality of design and finish that has allowed us to establish ourselves as a global leader in the design and manufacture of bespoke façade and entrance solutions.
