ADL
ARCHI
Glass and aluminum door system with sliding, rototranslating, or pivot openings
The common idea of three-dimensional architectural space mostly recalls cubic volumes defined by flat surfaces and right angles. From a cosmic and atomic point of view, however, this idea leads us back to a spherical shape, with the circle as its two-dimensional representation. In many cultures, the circle is a symbol of life, harmony, and perfection, precisely because it unites the microcosm (cells) with the macrocosm (the planet and the concept of the universe).
ARCHI is a new ADL project that aims to connect these two apparently contrasting ideas of space by proposing a new vision that encompasses both. It is a model that inscribes the shape of the circle within the extremely thin aluminum frames that define the glass panels. Three compositional solutions offer three different interpretations of the circle's relationship with the geometry of the connection element: tangent to horizontal lines, to vertical lines, or detached from all lines. Each composition can feature one or more circles, depending on the number of doors and the desired architectural impact.
ARCHI is available in all ADL aluminum finishes. Five new glass colors have been specifically created—Blush Pink, Tulip Yellow, Aqua Green, Sky Blue, and Infinity White. These shades not only add a sophisticated touch of color to the composition but also introduce a subtle opacity that enhances the presence of the circular shape, either as the main subject or as a visual passe-partout inviting one to look through.
Types of opening systems:
sliding door

pivot without jamb
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminium
In extruded aluminium alloy EN AW 6O-6O, temper designation T6.
Anodic oxidation in compliance with regulations in force.
Glass panes
The glass panes are always safe: tempered / laminated / laminated tempered.
Shatterproof glass in compliance with regulations in force.
6 mm glass pane.
Crosspieces
Applied to both sides of the glass pane in grid patterns using adhesive supports.
OPENING SYSTEMS
Sliding system
Telescopic track. The system permits the track to be perfectly level, guaranteeing that the doors always slide fluidly.
Sliding door carriage with 4 nylon coated bearings. Maximum load 120 kg per carriage. Automatic breaking mechanism for the opening and closing of the leaf, standard on all models. The system for installing the leaf onto the carriages is completely concealed. Telescopic door stop profile with travel of 12 mm (for ceiling-mounted track).
Pivot without jambs system
Panel handling system that does not require any ceiling or floor arrangement or a jamb, but only two simple elements.
The hinge, integrated in the profile of the frame, allows opening in both directions with an automatic stop when closing and with the door stopping at 90°.
Rototranslating system
The rototranslating system allows the panels to rotate on their own centre distance and move up to the wall without the need for any floor track. This technology allows you to have panels up to 130 cm wide, which, when closed, are perfectly aligned to the walls and, when open, free up over 90% of the passageway.
