GUTMANN Horizon Minimal Slim Slider

Horizon Minimal Slim Slider is a GUTMANN minimal-frame sliding system for very large glass walls in villas and penthouses. It comes in two versions: SOL with panels up to 3000 × 4500 mm and 500 kg, and LUNA with panels up to 3000 × 6500 mm and 1000 kg. The frame can be built into the wall, ceiling and floor, so from inside you see almost only glass.

Technical data

Minimal-frame slider in two versions, SOL and LUNA, on stainless steel rollers and tracks; the frame can be built into the wall, ceiling and floor.

Values are the manufacturer's published figures for the series; the actual value depends on the configuration — glass, size and hardware. Which series fits your opening is settled at the free survey.

In the UAE the Horizon slider is offered by Gutmann Middle East LLC, Dubai Investment Park 2. We fabricate it at our Dubai factory to the manufacturer's specification and install it with our own crew, usually in coordination with the main contractor.

Glass walls with no visible frame

A sea-view living room on the Palm, a penthouse terrace in Downtown, a villa that opens fully onto the pool: this is where Horizon earns its place. Single, double and triple track layouts are available, as well as corner-free solutions where two sliding walls meet without a post and the room opens over the full corner. High-capacity stainless steel rollers and tracks move large panes smoothly and quietly.

SOL or LUNA

SOL takes glass up to 36 mm, enough for a solar-control double-glazed unit, on panels up to 3000 × 4500 mm and 500 kg. LUNA takes glass up to 54 mm on panels up to 3000 × 6500 mm and 1000 kg, which leaves room for laminated, acoustic and solar-control layers in one unit. Panels of that weight are usually moved with the concealed electric motor, which can also drive concealed locks.

The published classes are watertightness E1050, wind class B5 and air permeability class C4. A frame hidden in the floor has to be planned with drainage from the start, because a flush threshold on a sandy terrace takes water and grit first.

Horizon or GLS 180

GLS 180 is a lift-and-slide door with an 80 mm leaf, glass up to 60 mm, sound insulation up to 44 dB, burglar resistance up to RC 2 / WK 2 and wind class C5/B5, but with a visible frame. Take GLS 180 where security, acoustics and a stricter wind class matter more; Horizon where the frame should disappear.

Horizon Minimal Slim Slider is the GUTMANN choice for glass walls up to 6500 mm high with hidden frames and corner-free openings, planned into the structure from the start.

The honest downside

When Horizon is not the right slider

A frame built into the floor, wall and ceiling has to be designed before the slab and the finishes are done, so Horizon is hard to add to a finished villa. The published wind class is B5, with a less strict deflection limit than C5, and on large panels on high, exposed floors that is checked by the facade engineer. No sound or burglar class is published.

Where the opening needs published acoustics and security, GLS 180 gives sound insulation up to 44 dB, burglar resistance up to RC 2 / WK 2 and glass up to 60 mm.

Frequently asked questions

SOL takes panels up to 3000 × 4500 mm and 500 kg with glass up to 36 mm. LUNA takes panels up to 3000 × 6500 mm and 1000 kg with glass up to 54 mm.

Yes, the supplier lists corner-free solutions that open the view over the corner. The corner needs a structure that carries the roof or slab above without a column at the glass line.

Not always, but heavy LUNA panels are usually motorised. The system offers concealed electric motorisation and locks.

Only with building work, because the frame is recessed into the floor, wall and ceiling. It is easiest at the design stage; an engineer can review your drawings or site within 30 minutes.
