Overview

P C Henderson's Soltaire 120 system has recently been specified for a striking new development project in Amsterdam North. Overlooking the canal, the new high-rise building includes both commercial and residential apartments.

Requirements

One of the key design features of the project was a series of gold architectural panels that would be fitted to the exterior of the building in front of sliding patio doors to enhance the building's aesthetic and visual appeal.

To ensure ease of maintenance and access for cleaning, the panels were required to be sliding. The sliding panels were to also play a functional role in the building, by allowing residents to slide the panels to aid solar shading and temperature regulation, contributing to the overall energy effciency of the building. In keeping with the buildings design brief, the hardware was required to be coated in a bespoke RAL colour to match the gold finish of panels.

Solution

P C Henderson's Soltaire 120 system was identified as the best system for the project. Designed using stainless steel components, Soltaire is well known for its high performance, exceptional durability and smooth operation in exterior applications. Catering for wooden and metal doors weighing up to 120kg each, Soltaire is P C Henderson's flagship product for heavy duty external sliding doors.
