More and more people, all over the world, are moving to cities. By 2050, it is estimated that 70% of the global population will live in towns and cities. Noise pollution will increase, and buildings will have to be designed and equipped to make them pleasant, quiet and bright places to live.
Modern buildings should focus on Energy Efficient Facades and User Comfort as urban areas transition to 'Vertical Cities' with the increase in tall buildings.
All these aspects where taken into consideration when we designed the Tigal Sliding Door to satisfy future needs and fulfil all construction industry expectations. Unique hybrid technology, capable of braving the elements.
Tigal is a hybrid solution, with all the advantages of a sliding door, and the features of a window.
INSULATION
A unique technology for many years to come
Tigal Sliding Door has a patented water-tightness system that guarantees efficiency.
Created for today with tomorrow in mind, Tigal Sliding Door is equipped with avant-garde technology that seals four times better than conventional sliding doors.
Door mechanism
The door opens by internal displacement of 6 mm and the opening part slides parallel to the fixed part.
This hybrid system is fitted with an innovative multipoint block mechanism around the perimeter.
DIMENSIONS
Adaptation is the key to evolution
Tigal Sliding Door is a versatile structure that meets the needs of the architects of the future.
It fits any space up to 4 metres wide x 2.70 metres high (1 leaf + 1 fixed) and can carry up to 300 kg of glass per leaf.
SOFTWARE
Available in TechDesign, Tech3D and TechAcoustic.
PERFORMANCE
Withstands even extreme climates
Cyclonic area? No problem. High air permeability (Class A4), Wind pressure resistance (Class 3) and Water-tightness of E1200 make Tigal Sliding Door capable of facing any global challenge.
Acoustic efficiency: bulwark against urban noise
With acoustic insulation up to Rw (C;Ctr): 45dB in double glazing, it shields occupants from outside noise, for comfortable conditions.
Heat exchange
Extreme heat or extreme cold. With three levels of thermal conductivity, Tigal Sliding Door ensures optimal energy efficiency and insulation to reduce the impact of outside heat and cold.
Uw thermal performance is up to 0.85 W/m²K creating pleasant conditions indoors in both summer and winter and reducing energy bills.
The door of the future
The appearance of Tigal Sliding Door is a masterly combination of design and robustness. The technology is housed in a slender frame, leaving space for a large glazed area which allows natural light into the room.
Tigal Sliding Door is manufactured with 70% recycled materials and with no PVC, because environmental sustainability is already crucial, and will become more so in the future.
Frames can be manufactured in extruded aluminium REDUXA (with a carbon footprint below 4 kg of CO2 per kg of aluminium) or in extruded aluminium CIRCAL 75 R (with a carbon footprint below 4 kg of CO2 per kg of aluminium).
We are firmly convinced that creativity should benefit everyone. That’s why our 15 mm embedded threshold allows easy access to people with reduced mobility.
Perfect for your project
Tigal Sliding Door comes in an extensive range of finishes and colour, so that the architects of the future can design without restrictions.
We can’t control the elements. They are still impossible to dominate. But while we are working on it… Why not challenge them?
