Hardware supplier VBH has introduced a new hardware system to suit its Sheerline Prestige aluminum lift and slide patio doors. greenteQ ClearLIFT Slim has been developed with Italian hardware supplier AGB and is ideal for slimline lift and slide patio doors.
Product details
It accommodates sliding sashes weighing up to 550 pounds as standard, with the option to increase capacity to 880 pounds with the addition of just one item. ClearLIFT Slim allows the creation of sliding panels measuring up to 12 feet wide and 8.8 feet high, designed to flood any room with natural light.
Security is provided by two sturdy hook bolts, with the option to add additional hooks in the middle and at the top of the door if required. The hooks retract into the sash when the door is open, and the striker plates are flush to the frame. This provides a neat finish to the door and eliminates the risk of items snagging on any projections into the opening.
Further optional extras include a ventilation position, the Auto-Brake Closing Damper that gently slows the sliding sash down as it approaches the frame and the Opening Damper that provides a controlled opening of the door. Optional Assisted Operation Kits make both the lifting and dropping operations easier for the user.
The first major ClearLIFT Slim installation has been carried out by BSW Window Solutions of Peterborough, who installed 96 sets in a new apartment development in west London.
What VBH leadership says
“We’re very excited about the development of ClearLIFT Slim. It’s easy to use and is built to last, as demonstrated by successful testing to 25,000 opening cycles and a top grade 5 under BS EN1670 for corrosion protection," says Marketing Manager at VBH, Gary Gleeson. “In fact, many components are protected by AGB’s excellent Activeage surface protection treatment, which has achieved 2000 hours in a neutral salt spray test.”
“A Sheerline Prestige door is a high quality product that deserves the best hardware. ClearLIFT Slim is the ideal choice, as it provides effortless operation and a host of optional features. Style, performance and operation are perfectly matched.”
