Technical Specifications
How ORIZZONTE THERMO works
ORIZZONTE THERMO is a system of insulated sliding glass doors for terraces and verandas, on aluminum guides. The sashes run sideways on stainless steel fittings instead of lifting or folding, and the standard build carries a 22 mm double pane insulated glass unit, so the wall of glass holds heat rather than just blocking wind and rain.
A cold-series option exists for openings that do not need insulation: the same profile takes an 8 mm single pane through an adapter. ORIZZONTE THERMO sits in our range of aluminum glazing systems next to the unheated ORIZZONTE.

Where ORIZZONTE THERMO is used
A covered terrace that has to work as a heated room in winter needs this version, not the standard one. A veranda that should stop drafts rather than just cut the wind is the other common case.
Aluminante's own catalog lists its uses plainly: terraces, gazebos, barbecue areas, cafe verandas, restaurants, country houses, hotel complexes. It calls the system a frameless sliding glazing system. The guides can run concealed in the floor and the ceiling, and a corner can close without a vertical post. Opening is either from the center or with a shift to the left or right.
A terrace closed this way usually gets a cover as well. See our ACURA pergola.

ORIZZONTE THERMO: frequently asked questions
What is ORIZZONTE THERMO?
Insulated sliding glass doors on aluminum guides, known in Europe as a double-glazed sliding system, built to hold heat rather than only block wind and rain. The standard version takes a 22 mm insulated glass unit; a cold-series adapter allows an 8 mm single pane where insulation is not needed.
How big can one opening be without extra posts?
Up to 11 000 mm long and 3 000 mm high, on aluminum guides without additional support posts in between.
What is the difference between the 1 000 mm and 1 300 mm figures?
1 000 mm is the width of a single sliding leaf. 1 300 mm is the width of a panel built from several leaves running together. They describe different parts of the system and are not interchangeable.
How much weight do the rollers carry?
The lower roller is rated to 120 kg. That figure is the load on the roller itself, not the weight of a single leaf or of the whole system.
