Engineering
Folds clear of the openingThe leaves hinge against one another and gather at one end of the run, so a facade-width front clears as a bank of panels without any single leaf sweeping across the floor.
A glass wall while it stands shutFull-height clear leaves in a slim aluminium frame read as one continuous glazed wall across the room, which keeps the facade light and the view open from inside.
Part-open through the dayThe catalogue scene holds the bank part-open, with the folded leaves grouped along the run and the rest of the front still glazed, the position a folding front often keeps.
Drawn onto a villa facadeThe scene sets the door against a stone-clad wall with a marble panel beside it and a glazed return at the far end, the arrangement the series is drawn for.
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 folding door?
It is the wide-opening series of the Adam Alux door range: a bank of glazed leaves that folds and gathers at one end of the frame, shown in the catalogue across a villa facade facing a pool deck.
How wide an opening can it cover?
The catalogue draws the front across a villa living-room wall as one continuous glazed run. Leaf count, panel width and fold direction are set against the opening, and the dimensional pack comes with the enquiry.
