The new Perlan 140 SoftStop, which is the newest addition to GEZE UK’s quality sliding door hardware range, incorporates a special damping system that is totally hidden in the rolling track, making uncontrolled impact against doorframes and fittings a thing of the past. Bringing the system to life online, an animated demonstration of the Perlan 140 SoftStop is available at www.geze.co.uk.
Meeting contemporary demands for safety and style, the Perlan 140 SoftStop is hidden in a running track that is just 40mm in height, ideal for office and residential applications. However hard the door is closed, the impact is controlled automatically as the mechanism gently brakes the moving door and then softly slides the door into its final position.
Quiet, sturdy and highly durable, the Perlan 140 SoftStop is suitable for ceiling or wall mounting and can be used for single or multi-leaf sliding doors. Certified according to DIN EN 1527:1998, the door gear can support wooden, plastic, metal and glass doors weighing up to 80kg in standard and special sizes, utilising a three pendulum suspension system for optimal load distribution.
GEZE technical director Simon Bowden said: “I’m certain the Perlan 140 SoftStop will have a strong and immediate impact on the market. The SoftStop technology means an end to trapped fingers and damaged sliding doors and frames caused by uncontrolled manual sliding doors, so it’s ideal in areas of high footfall, where the young, elderly and the public are using them. Its concealed mechanism means it’s minimalist enough for elegant apartments and corporate offices.”
