SST-II Hydraulic Bi-Fold

Gibca's Crown Hydraulic Bi- Fold Door & Window Systems

The patented SST-II hydraulic bi-folding system opens vertically, allowing smooth and quiet access between environments with just the press of a button. By incorporating the SST-II bi-folding door or window system, the barrier between interior and exterior vanishes and the ambiance of the outdoors is allowed to flow in. Designing with SST-II allows light and motion to easily move through your interior space.

 KEY FEATURES

  • Shipped with rust-resistant, red-oxide primer, ready for field finishing
  • Manual lowering system in case of power failure
  • Total security without the use of locking mechanisms – The hydraulic cylinders draw the system panels closed with 1,000+ lbs. of force, creating a tight seal around the perimeter
  • Full perimeter weather seals
  • Integral mounting frame to limit loads on the structure
  • Precision welds at all frame joints
  • Heavy-duty bottom rollers are completely captured by the SST-II frame, keeping the system secure at all times
  • No floor track is required – Nothing to impair movement through the opening
  • When open the system forms an awning providing protection from the weather and sun
  • The use of hydraulics eliminates the need for limit switches

CUSTOMIZATION OPTION

We offer a wide range of customization options for our Bi-Folding doors and window systems. Our technical team will help you incorporate these features in creating an end product that suits your needs.

  • Finish – Our steel-tube panels and integral mounting frame are shipped standard with red-oxide primer and are ready for field finishing. For corrosive environments (sea-side or pool house installations), the panels and frame can be constructed from stainless steel. Both materials may be factory powder-coated in any standard RAL color. The adjacent color chart represents the full range of colors available in the RAL system and does not imply immediate availability.
  • System Control – Customers may select from either a standard up/down, 2-button or key control for system operation. For added safety, all controls are constant-contact. A weather-resistant control is also available for outside entry through exterior installations.
  • Safety – If safety is a concern, or if remote transmitters are required, infrared photo eyes are available for installation adjacent to the hydraulically operated door or window system. Alternatively, a lead-edge sensor may be mounted to the bottom of the hydraulic door/window panel. Both can be programmed to either stop or stop and reverse the motion of the door or window panels. As a final layer of safety, a single-unit warning horn and strobe light which will indicate operation of the system is also available.
  • Remote Operation – Remote Transmitters offer ease of entry allowing for the user to open or close the hydraulic door or window system on approach. Transmitters – like the standard wall-mounted controls – are constant contact. For safety reasons, the inclusion of either photo eyes or a lead-edge sensor with use of remote transmitters is required.
  • Security – For installations requiring additional security or dealing with extreme negative wind pressures within the structure, automatic, electrically-actuated locks are available for securing the system panels to the frame. Positioned adjacent to the cylinders, the locks latch closed over a pin welded to the frame.
  • Cladding – For turn-key products, both inside-sash and front-set glass retainer systems as well as a variety of dual or single pane glazing options are available. All factory-supplied glass is laminated. Customers may also elect to clad their doors in field with a virtually unlimited number of coverings such as polycarbonate, steel or even wood.
  • Back Up System – In the event of a power-outage, the hydraulic door or window system may be manually lowered through use of the included release valve. If the system must be opened in the event of a power-outage, and if the building has no generator, a 24v DC battery back-up system is provided. The (2) 12v deep-cycle batteries must be purchased separately.
  • Motor/Power Unit – The motor/power unit consists of the motor, pump and hydraulic fluid reservoir. The unit may be located anywhere within the building – Close proximity to the hydraulic door or window is not necessary. Hydraulic hose will route between the motor unit and the door or window system. The new and technically-advanced unit will be shipped with most projects, however, the previous unit will remain available for use where space considerations require it.
