Aluminium sliding door S1
Reduced central section.
Frame 60 mm, sash 49 mm.
S1 is the MOSCA thermally broken aluminium sliding system, designed to open up space, make the most of natural light and create a smoother connection between inside and outside.
It is an ideal solution for living areas, terraces, gardens, professional settings, hospitality facilities and architectural projects in which the opening must be not merely functional, but an integral part of the experience of the space.
The sliding configuration makes it possible to manage wide openings without the space taken up by a side-hung sash, making rooms easier to live in and leaving greater freedom in the interior layout.
S1 combines the solidity of aluminium, thermal break technology and an essential design, with a reduced central section and the option of a frame concealed in the wall.

Material
Thermally broken aluminium
S1 uses thermally broken aluminium profiles, designed to offer strength, stability and long-term durability.
Aluminium allows solid, precise structures to be built, suited to sliding systems that must support large glazed surfaces and remain reliable in everyday use.
The thermal break helps to reduce the transmission of heat and cold between outside and inside, improving indoor comfort and the energy performance of the window.
The result is a technical sliding door that looks light: robust in structure, essential in design, suited to residential, commercial and hospitality settings.
Design
Reduced central section
The reduced central section is one of the distinctive features of S1.
The slimmer central section lightens the visual impact of the sliding door and leaves more room for the glazed surface.
This feature makes the most of natural light, improves the visual continuity between inside and outside and makes the window more discreet within the overall design of the opening.
S1 is designed for projects in which the window must complement the architecture without weighing it down, leaving the glass, the light and the landscape to take centre stage.

Architectural integration
Frame concealed in the wall
S1 can be designed with a frame concealed in the wall, a solution that further reduces the visual presence of the window.
Integrating the frame into the masonry produces cleaner openings, more continuous surfaces and a more essential architectural result.
This configuration is particularly suited to contemporary interiors, large glazed openings and projects in which the boundary between inside and outside should feel lighter and more natural.
The window thus becomes a technical yet discreet presence, capable of enlarging the perception of space.
Movement
Sliding system
S1 is designed to offer practical, smooth and functional sliding.
Sideways opening makes the best use of the available space, avoiding the clearance needed for an opening sash and making it easier to move between indoor and outdoor areas.
This feature makes S1 particularly suited to living areas, access to terraces and gardens, communal lounges, guest rooms in hospitality facilities, offices and commercial spaces.
The quality of the movement depends on the correct configuration of the system, the hardware, the rollers and the sizing of the opening.
Specific details on rollers, hardware, accessories and load capacities will be added once the product's technical data sheet has been checked.
Types
Available configurations
S1 can be configured in various ways, according to the design requirements and the size of the opening.
The main types available are:
2-sash sliding door with lower fixed light.
2-track window with 2 opening sashes.
3-track window with 3 opening sashes.
2-track window with 4 opening sashes.
These configurations allow the system to be adapted to different spaces, choosing the solution best suited to the function of the room, the access required and the amount of natural light you want to bring in.
Insulation
Thermal and acoustic comfort
S1 is designed to provide comfort even with large glazed surfaces.
The thermal break in the profile, together with the choice of glass and the correct configuration of the system, helps to limit heat loss and improve wellbeing indoors.
Being able to use glass suited to the project's requirements also makes it possible to address acoustic comfort, security and protection from the elements.
In this way the sliding door is not just an opening element, but an active part of the efficiency and living quality of the space.
Sealing
Air, water and wind
In a sliding door, sealing is essential to ensure protection, comfort and reliability over time.
S1 is designed to offer resistance to air, water and wind, contributing to the stability of the system and the protection of the interiors.
The correct integration of profiles, gaskets, glass and hardware helps to counter infiltration, draughts and external stresses.
This makes S1 suitable for projects in which a large opening must maintain consistent performance and safe use over time.
Transparency
Glazing
S1 makes the most of the glazed surface and makes it the focal point of the opening.
The reduced central section, the option of large sliding sashes and the optional concealed frame increase the perception of natural light and create a more direct relationship with the outdoors.
The system accepts glass between 23 mm and 39 mm thick.
The glass configuration can be specified according to requirements for thermal insulation, acoustic comfort, security, brightness and energy performance.
Performance
S1 is designed to deliver performance in line with the demands of a thermally broken aluminium sliding door: brightness, insulation, strength, smooth operation and aesthetic quality.

Customisation
S1 can be customised to suit the aesthetic and functional requirements of the project.
The aluminium structure allows great freedom in the choice of colours and finishes, so that the sliding door can be matched to the building's façades, interiors, floors, furnishings and materials.
The different opening configurations allow the system to be adapted to residential, professional, commercial and hospitality settings.
The option of working with a reduced central section and a concealed frame produces a sliding door that is brighter, more discreet and more in keeping with the architectural language of the project.
