SOME FEATURES OF THE GLACIER 3300-T

THERMAL BREAK  A polyurethane thermal barrier separates the interior and exterior surfaces on the main frame and panels to virtually stop heat and cold transmission.

HARDWARE The inside handle is made of solid, extruded aluminum. The latch is #9226 Maximum Security. There is no finer latch.

GLAZING  The glazing capacity is 1". This allows for a variety of different types of glass to meet specific energy requirements. (Also available K/D, no glass, without NFRC labels.)

ISOLATORS  In addition to the thermal-break, PVC "guards" give added protection against thermal transmission.

TANDEM WHEELS   Each panel rolls effortlessly on a set of two large 13/4" diameter tandem wheels which are pre-lubricated for life.

DELUXE SCREENS   Strong, durable, hat shaped extruded aluminum screen frames are standard.

OPTIONAL HIGH WATER SILLS When additional water protection is required, you may specify the optional High-Water Sill Extension. This raises the inside leg to 27/16".

STAINLESS STEEL TRACKS   The heavy gauge stainless steel track snaps into the recess in the threshold. This assures smooth rolling panels and long life for the threshold and rollers.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION   The Glacier Series 3300-T is designed for Heavy Commercial projects, including high-rise buildings. Because of its performance achievements the Glacier is also ideal for Luxury Residential jobs where strength, beauty, endurance and low U-value are demanded. Aluminum sliding doors with thermal-break meet all the requirements.

HOW THERMAL BREAK WORKS

This is how it works:   A low thermal conductive material (polyurethane) is poured into a special channel in the aluminum extrusion. This hardens to form a strong, high density, durable thermal break.




The only connecting aluminum wall remaining is then removed leaving the low conductive polyurethane as the only bond between the outside and inside walls of the extrusion.  Heat and cold transition is virtually stopped at this point.




The thermal break now stands alone as a barrier against heat flow, virtually preventing condensation build-up on the interior frame. This barrier works effectively to keep cold out in the winter. and heat out in the summer.

NOMINAL 8' HEIGHT:  The above doors are also available in a nominal 8' height.   The exact height is 953/4".  (The glass height then becomes 90").
ROUGH OPENING:  Add 1/2" to exact size of height and width.   When working with a finished opening, the rough opening may be reduced accordingly.
*OXO(L) as listed means that the latch is on the left side of the center panel when the door is in the closed position, outside looking in.  The OXO(R) is also available.  XOO and OOX are available.  The net width is 3/4"  narrower than the OXO.
**XOOX is also available.  The width is 7/16" wider than the OXXO.
