ADL through Faura

Faura specifies and orders ADL systems for residential and contract projects. The ranges below are drawn from ADL's current collections.

What ADL makes

ADL designs and produces interiors in aluminium and glass. It describes its doors as integral parts of a home's architecture, dividing and joining spaces in the spirit of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's fluid, continuous space.

• Opening types: sliding, sliding with track, sliding pocket, motorised sliding, swing, pivot without jambs, bifold, flush and rototranslating doors.
• Glass walls: Mies continuous glass walls replace traditional walls; My Room framed glass walls divide spaces while keeping visual connection and privacy.
• Shower walls: the Showering collection forms shower rooms in the same style, colours and materials as the room's entrance door.

Opening systems

• Rototranslating: panels rotate on their own axis and move up to the wall with no floor track; ADL quotes panels up to 130 cm wide that free over 90% of the passageway when open.
• Sliding: a telescopic track for level running, carriages with four nylon-coated bearings rated to 120 kg each, self-braking in both directions as standard, and a concealed fixing to the carriages.
• Motorised sliding: panels open and close from a wall-mounted control panel, automatically by a radar sensor, or with a light touch on a vertical stile.
• Pivot: the hinge is integrated into the frame profile, opening in both directions with an automatic stop when closing and a 90° door stop.
