Sky-Frame makes frameless sliding windows and doors which come with a choice of system, options, technology, and features. Sky-Frame’s hurricane-tested, frameless sliding windows are some of the largest on the international market. They comply with the criteria for the authoritative standard of the industry – High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) according to the Florida Building Code.
Sky-Frame’s Hurricane panels reached values of 1050 Pa (22 psf) during the driving-rain tests making them the world’s highest, which greatly contributes to the water-resistance of the windows. The sliding doors can be motorized or manually operated with a wide range of opening options and a slim 1 1⁄8-inch sight line offers an unbounded spatial experience. Multi-tracks allow an unlimited number of sliding doors to be installed next to each other.
