SlideMaster Insulated Sliding Glass Balcony
SlideMaster raises the standard for sliding glass balconies: available with insulated or single glass, it removes the insulation drawback of sliding systems, opens the corners completely and moves its 1.5-metre panels with one finger on patented rollers.
Developed for balcony, winter garden and restaurant enclosures, SlideMaster is an insulated sliding system engineered for energy efficiency and acoustic comfort. It is configured per project with 8 mm, 10 mm or 4+12+4 insulated glass; a bottom rail with or without threshold; and wall-mounted, push-button hook or espagnolette lock options.
14 reasons for SlideMaster
Endless motion
Albert Genau-patented Speed-HD suspension rollers with a 150 kg panel capacity, stainless bearings and height adjustment; every panel opens and closes with minimum friction and noise.
Endless rail system
The unique bottom-rail design allows any number of rails from 1+1 upwards: as many panels as you need, flexible opening at minimum and maximum widths.
No barriers at the corner
Side-panel profiles designed for L- and U-shaped spaces open the balcony without any fixed corner profile.
3 glass types
4+12+4 insulated, 8 mm and 10 mm glass, chosen by the required insulation level and location. The insulated version gives up to 4.3 times the insulation of single glass.
Secure lock options
Recessed hook lock, keyed hook lock or mushroom-head espagnolette: choosing your level of security is a SlideMaster feature.
Wide panels that glide
Panels up to 1.5 metres wide move easily on the advanced roller hardware; fewer vertical profiles, more view.
100% cleaning inside and out
The special panel design lets all panels separate and park individually, so the glass is wiped on both faces.
Curtain, shutter and insect-screen integration
A curtain, insect screen or shutter can be attached to the outermost rail to control sun and insects elegantly.
With or without threshold
From restaurants to cafés, winter gardens to balconies: SlideMaster is installed with or without a threshold.
How it works
SlideMaster has 4 rails as standard and each panel runs on its own rail. When you pull the innermost panel towards the closing direction, the panels interlock and travel together; the last panel locks itself at the end. The same movement in reverse opens the system partly or completely. The rail-bearing profile acts as a gutter at the bottom inside and a drip edge at the top outside; any water that enters collects in the drainage profile and leaves through the drain holes. An optional self-glazed, dust- and stain-repellent ESPC coating gives a Soft-Touch surface.
Applications
Frequently asked questions
Is SlideMaster insulated or single-glazed?
Both are possible: 4+12+4 insulated glass, 8 mm or 10 mm single glass. We decide together based on the insulation you expect and the location.
Is there a corner profile in sliding glass?
Not in SlideMaster. On L- and U-shaped plans the side-panel profiles open the corner completely; no fixed corner joint profile is used.
How many rails are possible?
Four as standard; the special bottom-rail design allows any number of rails and panels from 1+1 upwards.
What does the warranty cover?
A 2-year system warranty; all bearings and hardware sets are covered by the corrosion warranty.
