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.

The portfolio is complemented by the hurricane-certified Sky-Frame Pivot. This oversized pivot door with minimal aluminium framing meets the highest standards for wind load, water penetration resistance, and impact safety. Tested for door sizes up to 1.7 m × 3.2 m at +/- 3.1 kN/m², it creates dramatic entrances for luxury residences and commercial buildings in hurricane-prone and wind-exposed regions.
