Samson atlante steel sliding doors

The Samson Atlante sliding steel door system is a straight sliding door that can be top hung and top rolling with or without a floor track and also bottom rolling, all depending on size, weight and specification. Installation can be on the inside or outside face any structural opening.

The Atlante sliding door is a double skinned, 52mm, steel panel construction with a vast range of painted finishes to choose from as well as a laminate foil option with colour such as golden oak. The surface outside finish can be smooth, stucco or smooth with the laminate wood grain effect options.

Like our PSD door this sliding door can be externally or internally mounted in a single or bi parting set up but also with a dual track system to extend the width up to nearly 30 metres wide. All doors are made to order and come with many options such as windows, pedestrian door insets, weather seals and a choice of locking systems.

The door can also be electrically operated using different motor drive systems depending on the application and number of openings per day.

Mechanisms
The Atlante sliding door can be specified with top hanging roller system with a floor track guiding the door panel but also the same without the bottom track, depending on the application. It can also be built with bottom rollers with the door panel weight all placed not these bottom rollers. A lot of this depends on the opening and what is structurally best for the application and door size.

Hanging by the Top Track Only:
Hanging on the upper track the door panels are fixed to a trolley through a pin. An inverted “U” profile, mounted on the bottom of the panel ensures the stability of the door thanks to a special wedge that is fixed onto the floor.

Hanging by the Top Track Track with a Floor Tracks:
This is a variant that is equipped with a floor track system to be secured into the concrete.
On the lower side of the door panel there are some pins with bearing rollers that allow the door to slide on the floor track.

Sliding with Wheels on Floor Track:
The door leans on wheels that run on a bottom rail which can be screwed or cemented to the floor. On the upper section rail the door panel is conveyed by pins with ball bearing rollers.

Glazing
The Atlante sliding door can be a solid panel, partially glazed or almost fully glazed depending on the application. Various glazing options are available. With glazing the sliding door is perfect for so many applications such as showrooms, internal workshops, garages, garden centres and so on providing a flexible, reliable and very easy to operate door system for controlling access, air flow and security for so many buildings.

Any commercial or industrial building where regular access by pedestrians is a priority.
