Sunflex 45M – Versatilty from Sunflex
The new Sunflex 45M is centre-mounted, giving versatility to the system that allows stacking half-in and half-out. This enables space to be evenly taken up on both sides; this is especially useful when space is at a premium.
No Track Option
As the Sunflex 45M is centrally mounted, it also also offers the option of being supplied without a bottom track, making it ideally suited for internal room dividers.
Dimensions
Manufacturers recommend panel widths do not exceed 1100mm and a maximum height of up to 2800mm. Heights greater than this can be achieved, please contact our technical department for advice. The system can cater for very large openings - up to 10 metres in any one direction.
Fixed glazing can be built above the door system. Where this is required for wider openings strengthening profiles are incorporated within the door framework to aid lateral stability.
Profile
There is a choice of profiles from the WS (softline/rounded) edge to the WE (square) edge to meet your own design requirements and to match with any conventional aluminium or UPVC systems.
Track option
There are two choices of track; a standard weathered track for a severe weather rated system or, for improved safety, an aluminium flush track set into the floor. This track also gives the additional benefit of a level walkthrough.
Security
The standard locking system offers a very high level of security, with a quick, smooth and easy operation. It consists of a three-point top and bottom shoot bolt mechanism, which is incorporated into the framework within each intermediate panel. For improved security all Sunflex folding sliding door systems are internally glazed as standard with centre secured locking hinge pins and interlocking gaskets.
Where there are an odd number of panels, a five-lever profile cylinder is fitted to the end lead door; or to the first opening pair, in an even number of panels. It can be fitted to either the inside only or both internally and externally, meeting the requirements of the Association of British Insurers.
Weather seals
The Sunflex 45 system is a severe weather rated system when used with the weathered track option, providing a top and bottom double-rebated seal. Unique double gaskets are finger safe and eliminate draughts. (The system achieves DIN 18055, Category B performance for wind loading and water leakage.)
The gaskets (consisting of long-lasting EPDM) between the door panels are continuous and have a unique chamfered design. This means that they interlock and form a highly efficient double seal, providing the system with three distinct advantages:
Operating System
The system is available either top or floor mounted. The running mechanism consists of wheels, manufactured from tough polyamide, set around a maintenance-free sealed bearing, giving a quiet, smooth operation with optimum resistance to extreme temperatures. Each wheel and guide mechanism can carry up to 200 kg.
The unique design of running gear mechanism - environmentally sealed between the door panels - eliminates the need for a sliding post. This achieves smoother operation, slim sightlines and larger glass area. In addition self-lubricating, collar-type bearings guarantee a quiet operating without any squeaking hinges.
Appearance
The Sunflex 45 system is available as standard in Silver Anodised EV1 or polyester powder coated White RAL 9016, Silver RAL 9006, Grey Aluminium RAL 9007 or Anthracite Grey RAL 7016 to the standard range. All handles are specially designed to complement the door system; standard colours are White RAL 9016, Black RAL 9011 or Silver RAL 9006. Gaskets are in Black, with hinges mounted within seal sightline available in White RAL 9016 or Black RAL 9011.
