Sliding Door and Window Aluminum Profile System
Heavy-duty sliding door and window profiles for tropical climate buildings and large openings.
Product Overview
In tropical Southeast Asia, the sliding door is more than a convenience — it's a way of life. The open-plan living that characterizes modern residential design in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia depends on large sliding doors that can blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor space. When the weather is good, you slide the door open and the living room becomes part of the garden. When the monsoon arrives, you slide it shut and the seal holds against driving rain.
The challenge with large sliding doors is the bottom track. A 3-meter wide sliding door panel weighs 80–120 kg. The bottom track needs to support that weight, guide the panel smoothly, and drain water without allowing it to pool inside the track channel. A poorly designed track will sag under load, causing the panel to bind; a poorly drained track will fill with water during heavy rain, creating a flood risk.
Our sliding door profiles address both issues. The bottom track is designed with a heavy-duty aluminum base that resists deflection under load, and integrated drainage channels that route water to weep holes at the track ends. The track profile accommodates heavy-duty nylon rollers rated to 150 kg per panel, ensuring smooth operation even for the largest panels.
The anti-lift groove is a feature that's often overlooked until a break-in attempt reveals its absence. Our sliding door profiles include an anti-lift groove in the top track that prevents the panel from being lifted off the bottom track from outside — a common forced-entry technique. This feature is standard on all our sliding door profiles, not an optional extra.
For residential applications in hot, humid climates, the integrated insect screen channel is equally important. Mosquitoes and other insects are a genuine health concern in Southeast Asia, and a sliding door without a proper insect screen is not really functional for year-round use. Our profiles include a dedicated channel for the insect screen frame, keeping the screen separate from the main panel and allowing it to be removed for cleaning.

System Interfaces, Fabrication and Delivery Controls
Architectural profiles must be bought as an interacting system. Frame, sash, glazing bead, gaskets, hardware, drainage and finish need to be checked together rather than ordered as isolated section shapes.
