All of this and more …
We engaged the GLYDE team, tasking them to design a cost effective sliding screen system at Braemar College. Their Sales and Design teams were fantastic to deal with and have designed, fabricated, and delivered the sliding screens that look great and nailed the design intent.
Are CAD details available for inclusion with project specifications?
GLYDE can provide this level of detail for complex configurations or bespoke design requirements. Standard specifications are supported with typical CAD details.
Are extended warranties available on the GLYDE range of products?
Yes. Warranties beyond the standard one year period are available however, for systems installed in high-usage applications, the extended warranty may be subject to a Service Agreement being put in place.
Is GLYDE able to assist with unique designs that may require modification to an existing product in order to meet project specific requirements?
We’re fortunate to have our own in-house team of designers who are able to assist architects in facilitating the design intent into reality. The extent of modifications required coupled with project timelines will be key factors in determining the viability of the project requirements.
Are operating instructions and maintenance manuals provided with the products?
Yes. These details are included with the warranty document and will outline the relevant contact details for the GLYDE Representatives, should assistance be required.
Is training available for the operation of the Optica systems?
On request, a representative of GLYDE can provide training for the end customer once the project has been handed over from the builder.
Are the GLYDE products AS1288 & AS1428.1 compliant?
Yes. Glazing certificates & DDA Compliance documentation is available on request.
What is the difference between an acoustic tested product versus a product that uses tested materials only?
Some suppliers will quote a performance based on materials used within the product, not the performance of the product in its entirety. To ensure your specified products are able to meet the acoustic requirements of your project, ask for a copy of the acoustic test certificates from a reputable laboratory such as CSIRO.
Are the GLYDE products attainable on budget sensitive projects?
All of our systems have been designed to provide our customers with a premium range of products at an affordable price. When compared to other ‘like for like’ systems in the market, GLYDE has proven to be the most price competitive option for builders and architects.
In the event of a glass breakage, can the sliders and operable wall panel faces be replaced on site without the need to dismantle the systems?
Yes, the systems have been designed with serviceability in mind and to ensure minimal disruption for the end-user.
Is GLYDE a new business?
GLYDE is the newest business unit at Aluminium Industries (Ai), however, the team bringing GLYDE to the market have more than 100 years of (collective) experience in this specialised field. From our Designers, Specification, and Sales teams through to our Projects and Installations teams, we are proud to provide this fantastic range of acoustic products for our customers.
