Bring the natural light in and complement your architecture.
ARA Manufacture’s Clearfold frameless glass door is a sophisticated design that showcases your business and take full advantage of natural light.
Features
The Clearfold frameless glass door glides smoothly along an overhead track which is tucked neatly away in the ceiling. The door’s ingenious operation eliminates the need for a floor track, while its hinges are specifically designed to allow the door to follow an overhead curved path.
Constructed from 10, 12 or 15mm toughened glass panels, this door is motorised using our exclusive logic control system. This door doesn’t ‘stack’ until it reaches the bifurcated portion of the track, allowing maximum use of your floor space. The use of our motorised system eliminates WHS issues that can occur with manual operation, reducing the risk of product misuse and damage.
Manual operation is optional depending on size. This exclusive trace and drive system can be incorporated for use with door panels of your choice.
Specifications
Curtain: Door panels are constructed from 10, 12 or 15mm toughened glass with 118mm high x 40mm wide aluminium top and bottom rails. Rails are hinged together with custom design stainless steel hinges. Doors can be configured in three options:
Access door at stack end. See Drawing A.
Access door opposite stack. See Drawing B.
No access door (even panels, stack only). See Drawing C.
A fourth option is currently being designed to allow the whole system to be housed within a cupboard for complete obscurity whilst open. See Drawing D.
Stack Bay: Purpose fabricated for each job, the bifurcated track allows the panels to be slid along the track locus and stacked neatly into the stack bay. The fact that the panels can only fold at the stack bay allows the door to travel in close proximity to obstructions without hampering door operation.
Locking: Main curtain can be locked to floor at intermittent points along the door length. Access doors are provided with Lockwood lock on patch fittings.
Tracks: 3 part extruded aluminium, 125mm high x 105mm wide incorporating track and pelmet to conceal door drive. Currently only straight runs are available under motorised operation. Manual doors can accommodate some curved openings. Consult Monarch for additional specifications.
Note: The overhead structure must be designed to support the door weight. Monarch can provide self-standing trusses and columns if required.
