Engineering
Thinner frame, fuller glassThe stiles are drawn thinner than the earlier sliding lines, so each light carries more glass and less aluminium, and the sight-line through the opening stays clean.
6063-T5 primary aluminiumThe range is extruded in 6063-T5 primary aluminium, the same grade as the window line: tough, strong and crack-resistant across the full frame.
45-degree mitered cornersCorners meet at 45 degrees. The outer face reads clean, the frame line runs smooth, and the joint stays straight from stile to rail.
Stainless-steel railThe sash rides on a stainless-steel rail that resists wear and corrosion, holds the load over the full travel and keeps the panel on its line.
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 35X16 sliding door?
It is the minimalism line of our sliding doors: a thinner-frame horizontal slide on 6063-T5 primary aluminium with a stainless-steel rail, built for interior and patio openings where the frame should read quiet.
How is it different from the 50 heavy sliding door?
The 50 line is the heavy-duty option for wide, high-load openings; the 35X16 is the slim minimalism option. Both use 6063-T5 aluminium and a stainless-steel rail, but the 35X16 frame is drawn thinner for a lighter visual line.
