In this installation, one pane of glass is fixed and the other pane moves up or down to give an approximate 50% opening. In most installations, the top pane is fixed and the lower slides up for a ticket box, servery or pass through hatch. The pane of glass is counterbalanced by lead weights enclosed in aluminium box sections.
The single slider can also be installed with the top pane sliding down. This may be used when protecting a difference in level or as a cafe style window. Note that in this situation the user must reach to the top of the window to open it.
Further design options include larger box sections to move larger weights of glass, combinations of fixed top and bottom and moving middle panes or cavity sliders. Designers are invited to contact Neotechnical Industries to discuss their requirements.
