Engineering
A push-slide leaf systemThe catalogue names the series a push-slide system and draws it as glazed leaves that travel sideways, so the opening clears without a panel sweeping wide across the floor.
The least swing space in the rangeThe page note states that among all the doors the catalogue lists, the PT leaf needs the smallest swing clearance, and that is the claim the three scenes are drawn to show.
Space saved where the floor is tightThe note adds that the small leaf swing saves room and enlarges the usable area around the opening, which is what lets furniture sit close to the frame.
Aluminium frame, glazed leavesEvery scene frames full-height clear leaves in aluminium, drawn in a black tone outside and a white tone in the interior view.
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 PT door?
It is the push-slide system of the Adam Alux door range, introduced on catalogue page 065 as the door with the least leaf swing space of all the series the catalogue lists.
Why does the swing space matter?
The page note ties it to floor area: a leaf that travels through a small arc leaves more of the room usable, and furniture or traffic can sit closer to the opening.
