Engineering
Narrower frame, wider glassThe door frame and sash are drawn narrower than the previous sliding lines, so each light carries more glass and less aluminium, and the sight-line thins.
6063-T5 primary aluminiumToughness, strength and crack resistance come from the 6063-T5 primary aluminium the range is extruded in, on the same line as the window series.
45° mitered cornersCorners are joined at 45 degrees, which keeps the outer face clean and the frame line straight across the full opening.
Tempered glass standardAutomotive-grade tempered glass is fitted as standard, adding sound insulation, thermal comfort and safety to the glazed sash.
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.

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.
How heavy is the 50 series sash, and how wide can panels go?
Sash weight and maximum panel width are quoted against the opening and glazing configuration; the dimensional pack for your exact layout is supplied with the quotation.
