Panda S.65 All Aluminum with Aluminum/Wood Clad Multi-Slide Door System

This Panda Multi-Slide Door System is developed to have the look and feel of the Lift & Slide System at a lower cost and without the need for a recessed track.

What makes this model unique is its ability to have either aluminum or wood interior cladding. This allows the door to be a two-tone, all aluminum system for a contemporary look or a wood interior for a more traditional feel. This unique feature also allows the owner to replace the cladding later.

Features

The S.65 Multi-Slide door system is custom made to order with a large variety of options available.

• System Overview: Uniquely designed to compliment the Lift & Slide door system, this unconventional aluminum sliding glass wall door system has the ability to have either interior wood or aluminum cladding. This gives the option of having either a traditional wood interior or a contemporary two-tone all aluminum door. It also provides a partial thermal break since the interior and exterior are extruded separately. Once fully assembled, there are only a few points of aluminum-aluminum contact left. The end result is a better U-value.

• Maximum Panel Height: Up to 14 feet.

• Maximum Panel Width: Up to 10 feet.

• Panel Weight: Approximately 7 to 8 lbs/sqft depending on overall panel size.

• Number of Panels: Countless panel groups can be built.

• Profiles: The durable profiles are made of 1/8″ extruded 6063-T5 aluminum heat strengthened with wall thickness of up to 1/8″ allowing for oversized panels.

• System Configurations Available: Systems can pocket to left or right, and can stack to left and/or right. 45 and 90 degree configurations are available, as well as panoramic with a radius of minimum 84″.

• Glazing: Clear Low-E tempered IG is standard. Various types of glass and other materials at a thickness of up to 1″ may be used.

Accessories

• The wheel carriages are comprised of synthetic nylon wheels with encased stainless steel ball bearings and have a corrosion resistant treatment applied for high performance in coastal regions.

• Each wheel carriage can support up to 200 lbs which allows an 400 lbs panel to be supported by only one set of two carriages.

• The entire door system has specially designed EPDM gaskets to create a totally closed weather tight system.

• Strong multi-point locking system for increased security.

Bottom Track Options

• ADA Compliant Standard Track. This track is available in 1 1/2″ track height. It can be either surface mounted on the finish floor or set directly on the subfloor for an even, recessed finish. It has an integrated weep hole cover for aesthetics. Ideal for quick installations.

• ADA Compliant 1 1/4″ in track. Recessed into sub-floor to ensure the smoothest possible operation, this track features a shallower recess and is leveled with stack shims instead of all-threads. The finished floor is laid between tracks leaving only a 3/16″ rail exposed for a virtually unobstructed threshold from the interior to the exterior area.

• ADA Compliant 1 1/4″ in track with drainage. This track features all of the features mentioned in the previous track plus a weep channel for increased security against water infiltration. Panda holds a patent for the drainage technology used in this track.

• ADA Compliant Recessed Track. Recessed into sub-floor to ensure the smoothest possible operation. The finished floor is laid between tracks leaving only a 3/16″ rail exposed for a virtually unobstructed threshold from the interior to the exterior area. This track has a minimum trench depth of 2 1/2″. For minimum depth installation, sub-floor must be smooth and level.

• ADA Compliant Recessed Track with drainage. In addition to the previous mentioned features, this track has a weep channel for increased security against water infiltration. Panda holds a patent for the drainage technology used in this track.

Header Track

• The header track features adjustable shims from 1/2″ to 1″ depending on type of bottom track and finished floor thickness.

• The header track widths approximately 3 1/4″ for one panel, 6 1/4″ for two panels, 9 1/4″ for three panels, and 12 1/4″ for four panels. Trench width should be taken into account when planning rough header construction.

Configurations

• This system can span virtually any size opening up to 12′ high. Maximum panel size is approximately 70 square feet.

• Each panel weights approximately 7 to 8 lbs. per square foot depending on overall panel size.

Wood Options

Part of the beauty and character of real wood are the variations each piece has in their heartwood, color, density, size and grain pattern. For this reason we cannot guarantee consistency in wood grain and color within a particular species. Selections should be made based on actual samples.

We offer a broad range of domestic and imported wood species to match the interior and exterior elements of your space such as flooring, cabinetry, decks, terraces, millwork, and your décor in general . We work with suppliers who offer lumber from regions of the world that are capable of producing the quality wood our customers demand.

• Standard Wood Species - Our standard wood species include Pine and Poplar at no additional cost.

• Premium Wood Species - For a higher degree of distinction and customization, we offer the following additional distinctive wood varieties and will try to source any other wood species that meets our production standards and your design demands. Just send us a sample and we’ll match it.

  These species may add additional lead time to your order depending on availability of materials. Additional charges may apply depending on the wood species, call us for details and pricing

• Wood Finishes - Unless otherwise requested, all of our wood products are delivered unfinished. Raw products have not been sealed and therefore must be sealed immediately upon receipt. Sealing the windows/doors with equal coats of finish on both sides and all edges within one week from delivery is necessary to minimize moisture absorption. You must completely seal and finish all surfaces of your product before installation. Unsealed and unfinished products must be stored in a warm and dry moisture free environment as they would most likely crack and warp if exposed to the elements.

  Stains or basecoats are available as options. We can customize a finish to meet your design needs. Please contact us for further details.

• FSC Certified Wood - An FSC® certification is the best indicator that the wood used to make your door was harvested sustainably. This means that the wood product comes from a forest that’s managed responsibly which involves protecting fragile ecosystems, respecting native cultures and economies, preventing illegal logging, and ensuring that the wood in the product truly came from a forest that was certified.

  Contact us today to discuss which FSC® certified wood is right for your project.

• Color Disclaimer - Wood is a product of nature and will vary in color, texture and grain, often ranging from light to dark, thereby affecting the surface look. The wood options shown above are a close approximation of the final look of the wood, however, the photos may vary from the actual wood due to reproduction limitations of photography and different website resolutions.
