Engineering
Opens on an induction signalThe leaves run on a head track and part when the sensing unit reads an approach, so a wide glass front opens without a hand and the entrance clears without a swing.
A glass wall until it movesFull-height clear leaves in a slim aluminium mullion frame read as a single glazed wall when the door is shut, which keeps the frontage light and the sight line into the room open.
6063-T5 primary aluminiumThe door range is extruded in 6063-T5 primary aluminium, the grade the catalogue names across the window and door lines and selects for toughness, strength and resistance to cracking.
Controls at the openingThe catalogue scene shows both parts of the control set: a sensing unit recessed into the head rail above the glass, and a wall panel fitted beside the frame for the door to be driven by hand.
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.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Do your aluminium windows and doors ship to the USA?
Yes. The range ships to US ports in export-standard containers, and the loading plan for your opening mix is included with the quotation.
How is hurricane-zone glazing handled on a quotation?
The glazing build-up for a designated zone is confirmed line by line against your debris category at quotation. A finished test unit is available before production.
What is the electric responsive door?
It is an automatic sliding system in the Adam Alux door range: full-height glass leaves on a head track that open on an induction signal, shown in the catalogue at an office entrance.
How does the door open?
The leaves slide sideways on the head rail once the sensing unit reads an approach, so the opening clears with no swing. The catalogue scene shows the head-rail sensing unit and a wall control panel beside the frame.
