MOTION 52 MINIMAL SLIDING THERMAL SYSTEM
The Motion 52 is conceived for grand-scale architectural expression, transforming large-format panels—up to 4.0 meters in height and 3.0 meters in width—into instruments of light, transparency, and spatial continuity. Designed for high-end residences and visionary commercial projects, it allows architects to explore uninterrupted sightlines and seamless connections between interior and exterior.
At its heart lies a slim central mullion (16 mm or 20 mm), engineered to maximize transparency while maintaining structural elegance. Two threshold options offer spatial fluidity:
- A low-step threshold (57 mm) for effortless, graceful passage.
- A fully flush threshold, achieving a continuous, infinite floor plane and dissolving the boundary between inside and out.
Versatile and precise, Motion 52 accommodates pocket doors, fixed frames, and open-corner configurations, enabling architects to craft spaces defined by freedom, proportion, and minimal intervention. Standard 32 mm double glazing ensures thermal comfort and acoustic serenity, maintaining aesthetic purity without compromise.
Panels move with silken precision on proprietary BLADE technology running gear, designed for effortless glide and enduring durability. For panels exceeding 2 meters in width, top alignment rollers guarantee flawless balance and stability.
Security is intelligent and invisible, via a multi-point locking system, operable by knob, lockable knob, or hidden pop-up handle. External access integrates seamlessly, with options for smart electronic control and electric locking.
The system transforms floors and ceilings into pure, uninterrupted planes. The bottom track is recessed, exposing only the subtle sliding grooves, enabling infinity floors that appear to float. At the top, the track can be completely hidden within the ceiling, creating infinity ceilings clad in gypsum board, achieving total architectural minimalism.
For the ultimate in spatial luxury, Motion 52 can be specified in a fully motorised configuration, offering silent, intuitive movement that turns everyday operation into a ritual of elegance and ease.
Motion 52 is more than a sliding system—it is a tool for architects to sculpt light, space, and perception, transforming minimalism into an experience of pure architectural poetry.
