Phantom Waltz 70 Thermal Break Panoramic Sliding Door exemplifies cutting-edge engineering and elegant design, offering a premium solution for modern living spaces. Constructed from high-strength 6063-T6 aluminum with a profile wall thickness ranging from 2.2mm to 4.0mm, this door ensures exceptional durability and stability. It features a choice of either single or double-glazed options, providing enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation.

Equipped with dual-row array stainless steel load-bearing rollers, the door supports a maximum weight of up to 800kg, ensuring smooth operation even under heavy loads. For added convenience and modern appeal, it can be configured with electric or magnetic levitation systems, with motors discreetly hidden to maintain a sleek and uncluttered appearance. The multi-layer sealing system, featuring a combination of soft and hard co-extruded seals, delivers an airtight performance rating of GB8, while the high water-tightness track, with its hidden drainage, achieves a water-tightness level of GB6 without compromising aesthetics.

The thermal break design incorporates a double-bridge structure and vertical isothermal line, combined with double-glazed units, resulting in an impressive heat transfer coefficient (Kw) of just 1.4 W/m².K and sound insulation up to 38dB. The door is available with multiple track options, including trackless, high-track, and high water-tightness tracks, catering to various installation requirements.

The frame-embedded design maximizes the panoramic view by minimizing the impact of the frame on the overall façade. The 21mm narrow interlock profile, paired with high transparency glass, creates a minimalist style that enhances the sense of space. The door also supports dual-color design, allowing for personalized interior and exterior color combinations.

From a structural perspective, the 45° angle frame assembly with injected adhesive, combined with 90° stainless steel corner connectors and structural bonding between glass and frame, significantly enhances the overall strength and durability of the door. Multiple reinforcement structures ensure adaptability to diverse environments, increasing longevity and stability.

It embodies safety, with features such as flat dual-track design, safe edge handles, and a three-point anti-misoperation locking system that prioritizes the well-being of all users, particularly children and the elderly. Additionally, the frame-in-wall and ultra-narrow interlock design enhance the comfort and aesthetics of living spaces.
