Engineering
Thicker frame than the 35X16The catalogue draws the 35X48 frame and sash thicker than the minimalism line, so the sight-line stays slim while the profile carries a wider glass field and reads quieter in the room.
45-degree mitered cornersEach corner is joined at 45 degrees, which the catalogue cites for a clean face and a solid joint; the line runs smooth from the head rail to the floor.
Automotive-grade tempered glassEvery sash leaves the factory with automotive-grade tempered glass, adding sound insulation, thermal comfort and safety to the glazed panel.
Stainless-steel railThe rail is stainless steel: wear- and corrosion-resistant, strong on load, and the sash stays on its line through repeated cycles instead of working loose.
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 35X48 medium-narrow sliding door?
It is the middle tier of our sliding range: a horizontal slide on 6063-T5 primary aluminium, with a frame drawn thicker than the 35X16 minimalism line, a stainless-steel rail and eight catalogue finishes.
How does it compare with the 35X16 and the 40?
The 35X16 is the thinnest sight-line; the 40 adds the tri-synchronous three-sash layout. The 35X48 sits between them with a thicker frame, more finishes and grille or decorative inlays in the same frame.
