Channel section, U-shaped profile

U-shaped profile - product description

The U-profile (also known as channel section) is the bottom guide element in the OpenUp sliding door system. It stabilises the sliding sash, prevents it from swivelling and defines the guide line. It is suitable both for mounting to the frame and directly to the ground.

The profile is made of aluminium - durable, lightweight and weather resistant. Available unpainted or powder-coated in a RAL colour of your choice.

Installation and use of channel section in a sliding system

• You can fix it to the frame or directly to the substrate (paving, concrete, boards).
• You fit the profile to the sliding door layout depending on the variant you choose. See instructions.
• You drill the mounting holes yourself - according to the screw layout and the length of the leaf.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Is a U-shaped profile necessary for the installation of sliding doors?
Yes. It is an element that stabilises the movement of the leaf. It allows the door to move safely, especially in the wind or with larger structures.

Can I install it myself?
Yes - installation requires no specialist tools. You just need a screwdriver, spirit level and fixing dowels matched to the substrate.

Does the profile have ready-made holes?
No. You make the mounting holes yourself - matching the mounting conditions.

Can the profile be fixed in the door frame and not to the ground?
Yes - the system provides for two mounting options:

1. Variant 1 - rail bolted to door frame (roller rides on the ground)
2. Variant 2 - rail bolted to the ground (roller fixed in the frame)

What is a channel bar made of?
The profile is made of corrosion-resistant aluminium - suitable for outdoor use all year round.

Can I order a profile/piece over 250 cm with shipping?
No. Due to transport restrictions, channel sections up to 400 cm in length not permanently available in the shop are only available with personal collection.
