Engineering
6063-T5 primary aluminiumThe catalogue builds the frame from 6063-T5 national-standard primary aluminium, chosen for toughness, high strength and resistance to cracking.
Compact frame, broader viewThe catalogue draws the frame and sash compact, so each opening carries more glass and the sight-line stays low-profile across the room.
Automotive-grade tempered glassEvery sash leaves the factory with automotive-grade tempered glass, which the catalogue lists for sound insulation, thermal comfort and safety.
Stainless-steel guide railThe sash rides a stainless-steel guide rail. The catalogue cites it for wear and corrosion resistance, a long service life, strong load capacity and no derailment.
What US projects require
Glazing rules tighten in the high-velocity hurricane zones: the code requires impact-rated glazing and defined structural performance on the exterior envelope, and most spec writers work from the ASTM and Florida building code framework as the reference point. In practice the glazing build-up, the frame section and the hardware have to be stated on the quotation, line by line, against your zone and wind-borne debris category.
Adam Alux does not hold US test certifications. The bridge is the specification process: send the zone, the debris category and the opening schedule, and the glazing build-up, frame section and hardware layout come back confirmed against that project at quotation, with a finished test unit available before production.
Shipping to US ports
Modules ship in export-standard containers sized around the opening: glazed units travel upright with corner and edge protection for the trans-Pacific line. The loading plan, including modules per container for your mix, comes with the quotation, because it depends on frame depth and glass build-up rather than a fixed table.
Freight and port handling are confirmed per shipment, and transit time is quoted at order. Packing list and conformity documentation travel with the container.
