Cape Glass’ Lions Head Slim 20 Sliding Door System, is a beautiful, slim frame, high performance and cost effective sliding glass door solution. 

​

Lions Head Slim 20 is a structurally bonded aluminium sliding glass wall system, designed for modern, high-end residential projects, looking for maximum natural light and minimal framing. 

​

It is defined by its ultra-slim 20mm central interlock, large glass panels (up to 94% glass surface), and high-performance, durable design. 

 

Here is a detailed summary of our Lions Head Slim 20 Sliding Door System:

​

Security Features 

Despite its minimalist profile, the Lions Head Slim 20 system prioritises security to meet modern standards: 

• PAS 24 Certification: The system can be upgraded to be certified to PAS 24 standards, ensuring it meets necessary security requirements for new build projects in the UK.

• Multi-Point Locking: Equipped with a 5-point locking system integrated directly into the full height handle profile, which provides superior resistance to forced entry.

• Anti-Lift Mechanisms: The door panels are engineered with anti-lift measures, preventing them from being lifted off their tracks from the outside.

• Toughened/Laminated Glass: The system uses structurally bonded toughened safety glass, which offers high resistance to impact. 

​

Performance & Technical Specs

• Sightlines: 20mm central junction, with the option to conceal the outer frame within the surrounding walls, ceiling, and floor.

• Dimensions: Maximum sash width of 2500 mm and height of 3000 mm, supporting up to 320 kg per sash.

• Configuration: Single, double, or triple tracks with 2, 3, 4, or 6 sash options. 90-degree corner-free options are available.

• Thermal Performance: High-level insulation with U-values starting from 1.1 to 1.3 W/(m²K).

• Weather Performance: Water tightness up to Class 7A, and wind resistance up to Class C5.

• Sound Insulation: Provides acoustic insulation up to 43 dB, reducing external noise. 

 

Benefits Over Other Slim Sliding Door Systems

• Structural Bonding: The glass is bonded to the frame, improving structural integrity and ensuring the 20mm sightline is maintained even with large panels.

• Versatility in Configuration: Allows for 90-degree corner meetings without a mullion and pocket door solutions where panels disappear into the wall.

• Visible Profile: While it has a 20mm central profile, it is sometimes preferred for having less protruding aluminium from a side view compared to other similar, yet more complex, high-end brands.

• Cost vs. Performance: It is often described as offering a similar, "Grand Designs" look at a more competitive price point than higher-end alternatives. Lions Head Slim 20 Sliding Door System offers exceptional value for money.

• Flush Threshold Feature: Cape Glass will survey, then advise the contractor what to prepare for us, ensuring where possible, you end up with a beautiful flush threshold detail. 

 

Other Key Features

• Colour Options: Available in a vast range of RAL colours, including anodised, wood effect, and dual-colour (different colours inside and out).

• Stainless Steel Rollers: High-quality, durable stainless-steel runners ensure smooth and easy operation, even with heavy sashes.
