Curved head lineThe catalogue draws the series around a curved head line, the shape that gives the leaf its French vintage look and sets it apart from the straight-topped sliding lines.
Craft glass rangeThe door pairs with craft glass: Haitang floral, ultra-clear silver, oiled sandblast and ultra-clear oiled sandblast. Each one gives the glazed panel a different face, from a bright floral pattern to a soft, private diffusion.
Grille bars and applied panelThe catalogue tags the leaves with grille bars and an applied panel, so a single leaf can carry bars, a lower panel or both inside the same slim frame.
Three jazz finishesJazz black, jazz glazed white and jazz moonlight grey cover the series, running from a solid black face through a bright glazed white to a warm grey.
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.
