Launching the new aluminium bifold doors
The new Sieger Lux and Super Lux aluminium bifolding doors
Sieger Aluminium Systems have recently launched two new bifolding door systems to create ground-breaking architectural designs. The Sieger Lux and Sieger Super Lux bifolding doors are modern aluminium glazing systems that are the leaders in bifold door systems. These systems are fabricated in the Sieger factory based in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.
The Sieger Lux Bifold Door is the slimmest thermally broken aluminium bifold door on the market, it has a 30mm profile which creates a vertical sightline of just 74mm. The glass is structurally bonded into the aluminium framing, creating exceptionally strong door openings with minimalistic framing. The minimal design is combined with high levels of thermal performance, impressive weather protection and stainless-steel mechanisms for a ground-breaking bi-folding door design.
To enhance the contemporary aesthetic of architectural designs, the Sieger Lux Bifold Door can be manufactured to impressive sizes of 3 metres tall and 1.2 metres wide (per pane), resulting in outstanding elevations of glazing. The height combined with the slim sightlines creates an impressive glazing installation for both residential and commercial buildings, enabling the maximum influx of natural light and minimal visual interruption.
There’s no restriction to the number of bi-folding panes available in the configuration of this system, and with each pane being able to be manufactured to 1.2 metres wide, these minimal bifolds can fill very wide openings. The Sieger Lux Bifolds, are available in a variety of configurations including corner opening, bi-parting and either inward or outward stacking.
“A large configuration of the Sieger Lux Bifolding Door is available to view at the Sieger Showroom within the Sky House Design Centre in Amersham. This three-pane bifold in the Sieger showroom measures 3 metres tall to showcase how these slim aluminium bifolds look in-situ.”
The Sieger Lux Bifold door is the slimmest bifolding door, whereas the Sieger Super Lux Bifolding Door is the tallest bifolding door available on the market. The Super Lux aluminium bi-fold is an upgraded version of its slim framed sister, offering outstanding glass elevations.
The significant differences between these systems are the stabilising wind post and the height that these bifolds can be manufactured to. This bifolding door system uses the same 30mm frame profiles as the Lux but includes an additional stabilising wind post which allows the high ceiling bi-fold doors to achieve the impressive heights of 5 metres tall. Overall with the wind post included, the sightline is 144mm wide which is impressively slim for the height of the system.
The Sieger Super Lux Bifolding Door answers the markets call for bigger glass units, taller openings and higher performance. The aluminium profiles contain a full thermal break. Allowing the bifolding door to maintain high levels of thermal insulation with typical Uw values from 1.6 W/m2K. The system has been fully tested for air permeability, water-resistance and wind loading.
