Designed, engineered and custom-built in Germany

 

Bionic Turtle diagramThe Bionic Turtle

This brand-new model with its 99 mm sight line offers an unusual elegant slender appearance throughout. What makes this possible is its centre piece: the bionicTURTLE®, a multi-functional thermal-break which combines various design aspects. The design of this profile form provides the basis for the stability of the slender upright profiles. In addition, it accommodates provisions for locking mechanism as well as door furniture and guarantees perfect insulation.

Triple Glazing

Our Highline bifold doors are triple-glazed by default. Triple-glazing makes a major contribution to thermal performance combined with improved acoustic performance— i.e. it keeps the noise out!

 

Passivhaus

With U values (Uw) down to 0.80 W/m2K (subject to specification), the Highline is engineered to Passivhaus standard.

Please note that while the Highline can achieve Passivhaus standard (subject to specification), it is not Passivhaus Certified. If your project requires certification then these doors may not be suitable. Call us for an informal chat about your requirements.

Why Solarlux bifold doors?

Fully Manufactured in Germany
They are constructed whole in Germany, complete with frame, doors, glazing and ironmongery, ready-hung for installation. Each door is custom-made to your size and requirements.

High Performance
Solarlux doors are precision engineered to a class-leading standard. They are independently tested to 1200PA (approximately 100 mph) and remain water-tight beyond that. The SL80 has been tested to failure at 3000Pa (a typical tropical hurricane is about 2400Pa).

Thermal Insulation
All Solarlux doors are thermally broken on the whole system, including the threshold. The class-leading U-values are provided on the whole unit, not just the door panels, so that you know exactly what you are getting. U-values range from 1.4 for the standard SL60e with double glazing down to 0.79 for the SL79 with triple glazing (subject to specification).

Security
Solarlux take security very seriously, and all models are tested to the rigourous European RC2 standard. The SL60 and SL80 also have Secure by Design, a British standard created by the Association of Chief Police Officers.

Warranty
Some manufacturers require evidence of a rigorous maintenance regime to qualify for warranty. Spectrum provide a no-quibble Solarlux-backed warranty. As one of the elite Solarlux 'Active Partners', we are also able to offer an enhanced warranty.

Durability
You expect your bifold doors to slide effortlessly from the day one. But you also want them to be equally effortless 10 years later. The stresses on a bifold door are considerable — and only doors engineered to such a high standard will last the distance. Solarlux doors are tested to 20,000 cycles — the equivalent to opening twice a day, every day for 27 years!

Passive House
The Solarlux SL97 has a U-value down to 0.79 and meets the standard for Passive House installations.
