Alidos features harmonious lines and a perfect balance between transparent surfaces and unobtrusive stainless steel elements. The upper crosspiece is made of glass, taking advantage of its structural characteristics to maximise transparency and offer an innovative and effective technical solution. The suspended handle completes the design and is housed in shaped glass when closed. Made without PVC gaskets, it is available in various solutions for niche and corner installations with a fixed side. The Alidos shower cabins are made of Stainless Steel, a metal that guarantees elegance and durability. Besides being strong and non-deformable over time, Stainless Steel offers natural protection making it particularly suitable for humid environments and in contact with water.
An aerial track for a smooth and precise movement
The door of the Alidos shower enclosures runs on an aesthetically pleasing aerial track. The movement is fluid, precise, easy and allows you to physically feel the quality of this shower enclosure. When you slide the door you feel the solidity of the glass, you appreciate the precision engineered joints of the various structural elements and you are pleasantly surprised when the door “self-activates” a slight slowdown before reaching the end of its stroke.
In the following video and images: Alidos Screen + fixed side, with handle on the left, stainless steel profiles with brushed black PVD finish.
Upper crosspiece in glass from 10 mm
The door is made of 8 mm tempered glass. Given its weight, the track it runs on must have perfect straightness and be structurally resistant. Thanks to a brilliant design solution, however, this load-bearing requirement does not result in a visually bulky design. Far from it: the Alidos style is about the lightness of its lines. The stainless steel track is integrated into the thin upper profile, also in stainless steel. The structure is strengthened by a 10 mm glass crosspiece that goes from the side upright to the wall profile. A strong but transparent crosspiece, and therefore visually discreet.
An (almost) invisible strength
The long **upper glass crosspiece (1) **ensures the straightness of the track on which the door slides. The crosspiece is in turn supported by two side glass panels: the fixed glass (2) behind which the door slides and a glass on the side (3) that partially overlaps with the door when it is closed. These two panels are integrated with the upper crosspiece by two hooks (4) in an inverted U-shape, made of Stainless Steel with a finish identical to that of the profiles.The upper crosspiece is also supported by a solid stainless steel capital (5) interlocked on the corner upright.
Stainless steel handle
In keeping with the style of the collection, the Alidos handle has a lightness in its appearance. The handle is in stainless steel with the same finish as the profiles: it can therefore be in polished or brushed steel or in one of the coloured PVD finishes. With the door closed, the handle seems to be even more slender, almost like a graphic element. This is thanks to the shape solution of the fixed glass side panel, which houses the handle and is made to perfectly match the shape of the handle.
Gentler closing and perfect water tightness
The ground profile ensures excellent water tightness without PVC gaskets. This choice guarantees greater hygiene and reduces the need for maintenance. Along this profile, a system of guides keeps the door glass precisely in position, facilitating its fluid movement. The guides are designed to house the glass door and to slow down its movement at the end of the stroke when opening and closing, thus avoiding sudden impacts, noise and also giving a pleasant sensation.
Shower enclosure in a niche with sliding door opening and clean, essential design, also thanks to the suspended handle that is perfectly integrated into the shaped glass that houses it when closed. The upper crosspiece is also made of glass to maximise transparency and offer an innovative and effective technical solution. The solution is suitable for installation in niches with screen widths from 108 to 200 cm.
Corner shower enclosure with sliding door opening and clean, essential design, also thanks to the suspended handle that is perfectly integrated into the shaped glass that houses it when closed. The upper crosspiece is also made of glass to maximise transparency and offer an innovative and effective technical solution. The Screen + Fixed side solution is suitable for corner installations with screen widths from 108 to 199 cm. The fixed side can be any depth up to 119 cm. Fixed sides over 120 cm wide are available on request, with special packaging.
