GeWalt brings long experience to interior glass systems. Our multifunctional manual sliding door system is designed to take both glass and timber, and it uses a sleek mechanism that stays put, with self-closing action and integrated locking for optimum comfort.
Which system suits which room
Dividing a function room or a large meeting space. Use a movable partition: the GW-FW8900 folding system, the GW-SF8900, or the GW-SP8900 where the panels need to park around a corner. All three hang the panels from a head track so the room can be split and reopened as often as you like.
Opening one wide doorway. Use the GW-8600 telescopic sliding system. Its leaves are linked by a belt clip in the track, so a single push moves them together and the full opening clears in one motion.
A single sliding glass leaf. The GW-SL300 and GW-SL400 roller systems handle 10-12mm glass on a tube or ceiling track, with the GW-SL300 rated to 120kg over a maximum 2.5m installation.
What decides the specification
Three things: the panel weight, the panel height, and whether the floor can take a track.
Panel weight comes from glass thickness and panel size. Once the glass goes past 10mm on a tall panel, you are into the 90kg-per-leaf systems. Panel height is limited by the head track and the door strips: 3000mm on the folding system, 2500mm on the GW-SF8900.
The floor matters more than people expect. If the space is already tiled or has a finished timber floor, cutting a bottom channel is disruptive and often refused by the building owner. That is when the GW-FW8900 earns its place, because it needs no bottom track at all.
