- Glass options: Low-E, laminated, and more for energy-efficient performance
- Heavy-duty applications supported, up to 1000 kg load capacity
Product Details
DERCHI builds this door family using 2.2 mm aluminum profiles and insulating glass units, such as 5mm+27A+5mm tempered glass. A polyamide strip between the inner and outer frames creates a thermal break, limiting heat transfer, while Low-E coatings lower the whole-unit U-Factor to aid code compliance. Multi-point locks and silent four-wheel rollers come standard, delivering quiet, reliable operation in high-traffic settings.
Configurations cover a wide spectrum: the 143 Series suits typical openings, the WT-105B multi-track system forms broad glazed walls, and the Q9 slim frame works well in modern interiors. For patio transitions, waterproof designs with corrosion-resistant hardware are available. Every order is custom—choose track height, surface finish, glass type, and hardware to align with the project’s performance and aesthetic targets.
Product Features
Structural Integrity: 2.2 mm thick aluminum alloy keeps panels stable up to 3000 mm wide—important for designs with large glass areas.
Thermal Separation: Polyamide strips separate the interior and exterior frames, cutting conductive heat transfer; with the right glass package, whole-door U-Factors as low as 0.27 can help meet North American energy codes.
Smooth Rolling: Four-wheel stainless steel rollers glide easily even under heavy loads, a practical advantage for busy commercial settings.
Glass Flexibility: Tempered, Low-E, laminated, or argon-filled units let you fine-tune sound insulation, solar control, and privacy.
Reliable Locks: Multi-point hardware from HOPO or HOPPE in 304 stainless steel provides secure locking for main entries and patio doors.
Documentation Ready: U-Factor, SHGC, and wind load data are available to support permit submissions and spec reviews.
Customizable Styles
Glass: Options include tempered, Low-E, laminated, reflective, tinted, and triple glazing to satisfy energy codes and design goals.
Finish: Powder coating, anodizing, wood grain, or PVDF coatings stand up to sun and moisture.
Tracks: Single, double, or triple tracks with high, low, or hidden drainage profiles adapt to waterproofing and threshold requirements.
Size: Single leaf widths from 580 mm to 3000 mm, heights up to 4000 mm.
Privacy: Built-in magnetic blinds or electric control blinds integrate cleanly without added hardware.
Hardware Accessories
Multi-point lock: HOPO or HOPPE systems engage at multiple points; key cylinder or optional fingerprint access suit security-conscious projects.
Hook lock: 304 stainless steel single hook resists corrosion, useful for coastal environments.
Rollers: Silent four-wheel rollers are engineered for loads up to 1000 kg, ensuring smooth movement in heavy doors.
Handle: 340 mm aluminum handle, matched to profile finish, offers a consistent look.
Gaskets: Continuous EPDM seals maintain air and water tightness across all climate zones.
Basic Parameters
Performance Item | Available Information | Buyer Notes |
|---|---|---|
Thermal Insulation | U-Factor range 0.27 – 0.32, SHGC 0.20 – 0.25 | Request NFRC-certified whole-unit values for the selected glass and frame to confirm energy performance. |
Wind Pressure Resistance | Up to 4.5 kPa (design pressure) | Verify with project-specific structural reports to meet local building codes. |
Water Tightness | 300 Pa (nominal) | Require water penetration test data per applicable standard (e.g., ASTM E331) for your exact configuration. |
Air Tightness | 4.5 m³/(m·h) (nominal) | Confirm air leakage under project pressure differentials to ensure envelope performance. |
Sound Insulation | Maximum 30 dB (Rw) | Acoustic values vary; obtain test reports for the chosen glass and seal, especially for commercial applications. |

Advantages
Factory-Direct Efficiency: Our 70,000 sqm facility with 8 automated lines controls costs for bulk orders, cutting out intermediaries.
Extensive Customization: OEM/ODM services let each door be tailored to specific architectural and hardware needs.
North American Project Insight: References in Los Angeles and other cities inform designs that align with local practices.
Documentation Support: U-Factor, SHGC, and wind load data help architects validate energy performance during permitting.
Consistent Manufacturing: German thermal break equipment and automated lines deliver repeatable quality across production runs.
Application Scenarios
Apartment: Space-saving sliding doors with slim frames open small footprints and bring daylight into multi-unit buildings. Thermal break designs cut energy losses in heating-dominated climates.
Home Office: Acoustic glass helps create quiet work zones. A door with frosted panels balances privacy and natural light.
Hotel: Silent operation and clean lines suit guestrooms and lobbies; finishes can be coordinated with interior design.
Office Building: Interior partitions benefit from slim sliding doors that allow flexible layouts. Exterior thermally broken units support corporate energy targets.
Outdoor: Patio doors with waterproof design and durable finishes connect indoor spaces to decks and gardens. Confirm water tightness and finish durability for local exposure.
Residential Building: Multi-panel configurations open entire walls to patios. Argon-filled glazing improves comfort and meets energy expectations.
Exterior: High wind-resistance designs suit façade applications. Request structural calculations and verify cladding integration; confirm finish warranty for sun exposure.
Villa: Lift-slide systems carry heavy glass up to 1000 kg for grand openings. Verify track alignment and floor levelness before ordering.
FAQ
