Solarlux Megaline Bi-Folding Door

PUSH TO THE LIMITS

The Megaline bi-folding door with excellent thermal insulation is designed for use wherever extra-tall or wide panels are required.

It is predestined for use in commercial premises, such as restaurants, shops and public buildings, as well as unique private homes that aim to impress with its special structural features.

With a maximum panel height of 4.50m (or a panel width of up to 1.50m), it can be used to create incredibly large glass surfaces without compromising on ease of use or movement.

The specially shaped stainless steel running tracks allow for the use of unguided carriages and can be used with a selection of floor tracks, including accessible variants in accordance with DIN 18040.

THE NEW MARKET INNOVATION

Depending on the height of the system, multiple sets of system hinges can be installed above one another.

This guarantees a high degree of stability for the panels, which can weigh up to 150kg each (even at high wind loads).

For extremely structurally demanding locations, additional structural profiles can also be added in the panel joint areas.

The Megaline, which was only released in spring 2022, has already won two awards, demonstrating just how first-rate an innovation it is:

  • The Product of the Year 2022 in the “Building Shell” category of the Gentner Verlag’s Haustec reader’s choice awards
  • The ICONIC AWARD in the Product category as well and the special “Best of Best”.

PROFILE SYSTEM

Profile System:

  • Modular aluminium profile system with excellent heat insulation and building depth of 84mm.
  • Bottom-running; minimal load support required in case of falls.
  • Edged profiling.
  • Sightline of 132.5mm in the panel butt joint, further structural profiles can be added in the panel butt joint areas depending on structural requirements (e.g. extreme wind loads).
  • This results in a sight line of 129mm in the panel butt joint.
  • Single-piece, multi-functional, fibreglass-reinforced polyamide bionicTURTLE® break profile.
  • Loose shear bond built into the thermal break to compensate for thermal loads.
  • Mitred panels are connected by corner connections that are glued and pressed together on the inside to create a sturdy joint.
  • Controlled drainage.
  • Built-in running tracks and guide rails.
  • Separate levels for runners and locks.
  • Floor track (accessible and suitable for living spaces) available.
  • Built-in, concealed cable routing.
