Application

Most suited for use in hospital environments where ease of use and flexibility are required. Flo-Motion doors feature cassettes with recirculating ball guides, sliding on a low resistance linear track with damper mechanisms at the fully opened and closed positions.

The high number of balls ensure continuous contact with bearing surfaces, as well as the contained roller, which increases the slide load rate capability and decreases the movement force. The doors can be easily opened and closed by a child and with no power assistance.

Our sliding doors offer excellent light transfer, privacy, ease of use and more importantly, a better overall patient experience.


Description

The door set to be formed from non-thermal aluminium extruded box section including a frame consisting of two jambs (152mm and 100mm x 45mm profiles) and a 125mm x 100mm transom bar with a 7mm reinforced face. The sliding leaf will close against the "slam post" which forms part of the jamb. The frame to fit within the structural opening with the door sliding over a glazed screen. The fixed glazed screen is secured within the frame structure by two concealed aluminium channels. Glass is secured using appropriate beads & gaskets.
