Svelto Connect (Patented Installation System)

A key issue with most cavity sliding door systems is not installation — it is what happens after handover.

In traditional systems, removing a door is often difficult and time-consuming. It can require partial disassembly, working within confined spaces, or disturbing finished elements. As a result, even minor adjustments or maintenance can become unnecessarily complex.

This has two direct consequences.

For contractors, installation and any return visits take longer than they should. This increases labour time and cost, which ultimately flows back to the client.

For the end user, access is limited. If the door needs to be removed for any reason — adjustment, maintenance, or replacement — it is rarely straightforward.

Altro’s Svelto Connect system eliminates this issue.

The patented system allows the door to be installed and removed quickly, without specialised tools and without affecting surrounding finishes. This reduces installation time on site and simplifies any future access.

From a project perspective, this has a clear benefit:
the system is easier to install, easier to service, and less likely to create issues after completion.

For architects, this matters.

Specifying a system that is difficult to access can introduce avoidable long-term risk — particularly when problems arise post-handover. Svelto Connect removes that risk by ensuring the system remains accessible throughout its lifecycle.
