Engineering
Lifts first, then slidesThe leaf rises clear of the sill before it travels, so the door moves with light effort under a heavy glass panel, and it seats back down onto the sill when it closes.
Glass front, thin frameFull-height clear leaves in a slim aluminium mullion frame leave the opening almost all glass, which suits walls that are built around a wide view.
6063-T5 primary aluminiumThe door range is extruded in 6063-T5 primary aluminium, the grade the catalogue names across the window and door lines and selects for toughness, strength and resistance to cracking.
A wide clear openingBecause the leaf slides rather than swings, the full width of the frame clears in one movement, and the floor on both sides of the opening stays usable.
Specifying for heat and value
African projects are usually specified against two drivers: heat, and the total landed cost of the glazing line. Single-glass build-ups cut weight and freight in the container; insulating units step in where comfort or acoustics are required. Both run on the same frame, so the build-up is a line on the quotation, not a different product.
Wall thickness and finish are the second lever. The 6063-T5 sections in the range are extruded in-house, and the anodised and thermal-transfer finish lines are the standard shortlist.
Full-container loading
The container is the unit of supply: a full box of modules for one phase, packed upright with edge protection, with the loading plan drawn against your opening schedule.
Transit to the port of discharge, and the documentation for clearing, travel with the shipment. Transit times are confirmed per route at quotation.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Do you ship to West and East Africa?
Yes. Full-container loading is the standard supply unit, and the loading plan for your opening schedule comes with the quotation.
Can we mix single and insulating glass in one container?
Yes. The glazing build-up is specified per opening on the schedule, so one container can carry both configurations; the mix is confirmed in the loading plan.
What is the lift and slide door?
It is a large-format sliding door in the Adam Alux range: the leaf lifts off the sill, travels sideways on the head track and settles back down to close, shown in the catalogue as a two-leaf glass front onto a sea view.
How is it different from a plain slider?
A plain slider drags its full weight along the track. The lift and slide system raises the leaf clear of the sill first, so it travels with light effort, then seats back down onto the sill when it closes.
