Due to stringent safety requirements, the development of sliding door systems for high-rise and ultra-high-rise buildings is a complex engineering task involving the precise coordination of numerous technical and functional details. Resistance to wind pressure, reliable water and air tightness, and excellent load-bearing capacity are just some of the basic technical requirements. On top of that, the developers must incorporate the exacting demands of architects and property owners for streamlined solutions that blend into the architecture and enhance the living space. The GSE215-T combines these seemingly contradictory requirements in a highly functional electric sliding door system that offers reliable protection against the elements and was developed to be both aesthetically pleasing and technically sophisticated. “The GSE215-T has a design that is remarkably minimalist despite its generous dimensions. Sophisticated technology, material competence and window construction expertise led to the creation of elegant sliding door elements for high-rise buildings and large facade surfaces,” said the Red Dot jurors, giving their seal of approval. In fact, all the materials used are proprietary and the result of extensive research and development work. They include the magnetic levitation double-track, the high-precision profiles, the robust sealing strips and the special window glass. These qualities, in combination with the smart operating system, ensure smooth operation. An emergency power supply and a self-opening mechanism in the event of a power failure also permit manual door operation if the need arises. The effect of the markedly slender yet robust profiles and connecting elements is a breathtaking panoramic view. The premium frames are designed to melt into the interior architecture, flooding the indoor space with light and making the barrier between inside and outside almost invisible. The result is a very harmonious overall effect. “The GSE215-T is remarkable for its technical execution of large window formats, and even more fascinating for the magnificent and almost seamless panoramic effect that it achieves,” summarised the jury. Invisible technology for panoramic convenience – this system makes living environment wishes come true.
