Calme Acoustic Sliders

Easy operation, integrated compliance

We designed Calme with a focus on flexibility, acoustic performance, safety, ease of use, and compliance. It perfectly aligns with modern learning needs by creating adaptable spaces, reducing noise, ensuring accessibility (DDA), and providing visual connection, all while meeting strict educational standards.

Calme is a bottom-rolling acoustic slider designed for SINSW pattern book layouts (School Infrastructure NSW pattern book configurations), ideal for open-plan classrooms and collaborative zones.

Calme sliders directly support the design principles of flexible, student-centred learning environments that prioritise comfort and focus.

Features

Calme Results

Calme bottom rolling acoustic sliders facilitate the creation of “learning commons” or multi-purpose zones by allowing easy division and connection of spaces.

The practical features of Calme include flush floor tracks, narrow profiles, and quality Australian manufacturing, and long lasting, high quality performance.

Calme offers easy operation with anti-slam brakes, an anti-jump system, and optional dampener on opening. They are safe and accessible for students and staff.

Calme was engineered exclusively to meet designed for SINSW pattern book layouts and configurations.

Calme Bottom Rolling Acoustic Sliders

50mm Narrow Profile, reducing weight and cavity thickness

Anti-Slam (Brake) System

Dampener On Opening Action (optional)

Recessed Tracks

Anti-Jump System

Integrated Footbolts

Designed for SINSW Pattern Book layouts and configurations

75mm Mid-rails (eliminates requirement for manifestations)

GLYDE ANTI-SLAM SYSTEM (GASS)

Our patented GASS safely slows large sliders prior to reaching the closing jamb, reducing the risk of finger entrapment while ensuring the doors are easy to operate.

PATTERN BOOK CONFIGURATIONS

The GLYDE team designed the Calme system exclusively for the SINSW Pattern Book layouts and configurations. Talk to GLYDE to learn how Calme balances standard systems with site-specific requirements, allowing for creativity within the limitations. Calme is a fantastic choice for General Learning Spaces (GLS), Specialist Learning Units (SLU), libraries, canteens, and study hubs.

INTEGRATED SAFETY

Calme’s anti-jump and anti-slam features significantly enhance sliding door safety by preventing the door panels from derailing (anti-jump) and eliminating the hazards associated with forceful or sudden closures (anti-slam). Calme’s anti-jump mechanism ensures the door panels stay securely within the track system, preventing them from falling off the track, which could cause severe injury or damage.

Safer Acoustic Sliders include GASS

GLYDE Anti-Slam System

The GLYDE Anti-Slam System (GASS) slows down the door before it reaches the receiving jamb. No smashed fingers. No slammed doors. The ultra-safe Sereine Sliders are a smart, safe solution for education projects.

The GLYDE team puts safety first with every system. Our engineers incorporated built-in dampeners to make it ultra-safe when users are opening and closing the doors.

FAQ

Can the bottom roller system dislodge, come off the track or fall down, and does it have a braking mechanism like the top hung systems - are there any safety concerns around this system?

No, Calme’s rollers can’t come off the tracks. and yes, Calme does feature the GLYDE Anti-Slam System our Classique sliders also use.

Calme bottom roller suite incorporates a unique anti-jump mechanism and is retained in the head, the panels cannot fall.

All our slider systems include our GLYDE Anti Slam System (GASS) proven safety braking mechanism. Combined, these features are unique in the Acoustic Slider industry.

Do we need to incorporate floor tracks when specifying large format sliders or multi-stacking sliders?

GLYDE offers Top Hung Classique, requires no floor track, and Bottom Roller Sereine and Bottom Roller Calme, do use a floor track. You can choose which system will best meet the needs of your project.

What are the advantages or disadvantages of top hung systems?

The advantage of a top hung system is no bottom floor track required. This gives a seamless flow and ensures no trip or access issues. Longevity of the systems benefit as there is no potential damage or wear to a floor track system.

Disadvantage of a top hung acoustic sliding door system is that structural overhead support is required. This may create challenges in refurbishment projects or add costs to new builds. The Sereine bottom roller system solves both these challenges.

Can we achieve DDA compliance with either system?

Yes.

GLYDE’s default specification ensures compliance for operating force and circulation requirements, such as handle positioning. We advise you of suitable configurations and panel sizing and weights to comply during design consultations.

When our team is advised DDA compliance is not required, we can adjust specifications and advise of configurations.
