Aliplast Modern Slide Aluminum Sliding Door System

Aliplast Modern Slide Aluminum Sliding Door System

The Aliplast Modern Slide (MDS) Aluminum Sliding Door System is designed for glazed openings where panels move on tracks rather than swing into the room. This movement can help keep the floor area beside the opening clear of a hinged leaf, while the panel layout determines how much of the passage is available when open. Aliplast offers two-, three-, and four-track arrangements, giving a project different paths along which the selected panels can slide. Track number is one part of the layout: leaf count, fixed sections, and the direction panels gather also shape the finished opening. The published system range includes frame depths from 73.8 to 195.9 mm and a 44 mm sash depth. Glazing options are 24, 28, or 32 mm, with a listed maximum sash weight of 250 kg. These figures describe system options and limits, not a defined glass package or the dimensions and weight of a particular door. The selection should therefore start with the desired clear access and panel arrangement, then match glazing and profiles to that layout. The system also lists galandage and monoblock configurations; galandage panels slide into a wall pocket, while monoblock is a separate system arrangement.

Panel Layout, Glazing, and System Values

A two-track arrangement gives panels two travel paths; three or four tracks provide additional paths for the selected layout. Consider whether any part of the glazed wall should remain fixed, how panels should collect when moved, and which passage needs to stay accessible. Aliplast also lists galandage as an option for a design where panels move into a wall pocket, which needs to be planned as part of the surrounding wall. Monoblock is another listed configuration. Both are system possibilities, not details established for this particular product listing. The selected glazing thickness—24, 28, or 32 mm—should be aligned with the profile and chosen panel arrangement, and the sash weight should remain within the system’s published limit. Aliplast gives Uf from 1.50 W/m²K, dependent on profile combination and infill; Uf is a profile/system value rather than a whole-door Uw or Ud value. The manufacturer also lists air Class 3 under EN 12207, wind Class C1 at 400 Pa under EN 12210, and water Class 6A at 250 Pa under EN 12208. These are published system references, not a finished-unit rating for an unspecified configuration. For a useful comparison, define the opening, track count, moving and fixed panels, glazing makeup, and any special pocket or monoblock arrangement together. For a wide glazed transition, compare the track arrangement against the wall plan as a whole: where a fixed panel belongs, how far moving leaves travel, and which side should remain free for circulation. This makes the selected panel grouping easier to evaluate than track count alone.
