Sliding door update
April 2017

SCHUECO UK has updated its ASS 77 PD.HI manually operated panoramic sliding door system.

Innovations include an integrated, full-height handle that improves the appearance of the door and makes it easier to open and close, with an optimised locking concept that makes use of spring-loaded mushroom heads.

Among new designs is a 90o all-glass corner without mullion and bi-parting four-pane versions with two sliding leaves and two fixed or four sliding leaves. Thermal insulation has been improved, with Uw values from 0.96 W/m2K with triple glazing as standard.

Installation is also said to be simpler with a reduced outer-frame installation height of 58mm and the ability to install the frame in buildings with minimal installation space at the side.

Newly introduced system-specific software assists designers in the calculation of asymmetrical units and modular solutions, while a new space-saving fabrication aid increases the bonding quality and reduces fabrication time of the glazing units in the workshop.

The glass panes can now be fitted to their frames in a vertical position rather the traditional horizontal method.

To assist with installation, new adjustment devices are now available for the outer frame without removal of the glass panels
