Introducing the Altro Euro Cav Door
Altro Australia has built a reputation as a manufacturer and supplier of state-of-the-art, hinged and sliding frameless glass doors. Our mission is to provide our customers with control over an aspect of their projects that is often difficult to build and maintain. With an innovative product range that blends functionality with style, we have become the supplier of choice for discerning developers, builders, and architects around Australia.
The most recent addition to our catalogue is the Altro Euro Cav Door. Architecturally designed and Swiss engineered, this aluminium cavity sliding door is available in a variety of styles and finishes to suit any structural setting, the Euro Cav system has found its way into a number of iconic Australian projects, including The Ribbon in Sydney’s Darling Harbour Precinct and the soon-to-be-completed Premier Tower in Melbourne.
An Overview of the Euro Cav Door System
The Euro Cav Door System was developed and designed by the Altro team in house. The Euro Cav System features a robust, ball-bearing carriage system that is fully concealed. The minimal ball-bearing friction and highly durable aluminium tracking system offer high load-bearing capacity, allowing doors of 60kg and over to effortlessly glide into the existing wall cavity.
The Euro Cav is available in a range of finishes – architrave, shadowline, and square set – and comes in your choice of aluminium, timber, or frameless glass. Our sliding doors are characterised by a sleek, minimalist design approach that uses elegant, sharp lines to achieve a contemporary look and feel.
Advantages of the Euro Cav System
One of the chief benefits of the Euro Cav system is its space-saving qualities. As Australia’s population becomes ever more concentrated in urban centres and the need for medium- and high-density housing grows, architectural solutions are required to maximise the limited available space.
Australians are finding more and more ways of making smaller living spaces work for them, with innovations such as folding beds and open plan living becoming increasingly common. Sliding cavity doors are another solution, requiring a fraction of the space of hinged doors. This is because the area taken up by a hinged door’s path of rotation must be kept clear.
Other practical advantages of the Euro Cav System include a highly versatile design, meaning it can be fitted in any number of configurations to suit any space, as well as the high load-bearing capacity.
The Euro Cav Ultima Door also features our Swiss Soft Close system. This system prevents the doors from being slammed, slowing its movement along the carriage regardless of the amount of force applied. This greatly reduces noise, vibrations, and damage.
Finally, the aesthetic design of the Euro Cav Door, at once contemporary and timeless, have made them highly sought after. They seamlessly blend into any setting while retaining their unique, European-influenced character.
