Lotus Acoustic Sliding Doors were developed in conjunction with architects to meet the needs of changing open-learning classroom designs and modern teaching pedagogies. They are easy to operate, meet rigorous DDA compliance requirements and are available with Lotus' SABS speed limiting technology. Available as either a Glazed or Solid finish in many configurations, including Single, Dual and Bi-Parting.

Whilst the education sector was the inspiration for the design of this product, Acoustic Sliders are ideal for any commercial environment, when the requirement to create differing spaces simply and quickly is paramount, and there is a moderate acoustic requirement. Acoustic sliders allow for visual connectivity of spaces and the transfer of natural light, making them the perfect product to create a dynamic environment that enhances student and employee wellbeing.

Laminated glass acoustic sliders now available!

ACOUSTICS

The key to acoustics is determining what your needs are. A sound rating should be chosen to suit the surrounding structure, the sizes of the partitioned areas and use of the space.

At Lotus, we conduct extensive research and testing of our full systems (not just our panels) to ensure that we manufacture walls that are BCA compliant and meet Australian Standard 1191-2002 for acoustical requirements.

See Product Brochure pages 6-7 for a detailed overview of acoustics.

FIXINGS & LAYOUTS

There are several layouts or configurations for the Acoustic Slider System to ensure maximum flexibility of a room design. These layouts include single, dual or triple panel sliders that can be used in single or bi-parting layout combinations to provide for larger opening widths. NATA certified acoustic reports and opinions are available for all configurations.

SEAL COMBINATIONS

Lotus offer two seal combinations that suit different site and acoustic requirements.

For a full overview of seal options, please download and refer to pages 10-13 of the Acoustic Sliders brochure.

FINISHES

Solid
Because of our board-within-frame construction type we can offer nearly limitless finish options to suit all functional, aesthetic and budget requirements. Most finish selections are supported by ‘concealed’ vertical joins between modules, giving the look of one continuous sliding panel. Some pinnable finishes require this junction to be ‘exposed’, with a visible aluminium lip.

Glazed
Lotus can offer an almost endless selection of toughened and laminated glass options including coloured, mirror, acoustic laminated & printed glass. Please consult your technical design consultant for more information.

ACCESSORIES

We offer a range of accessories that enhance the functionality of the Lotus Acoustic Slider System, including:

Mortice locks
Pinboards
Pen pockets
Kick rails
Snibs
Whiteboards
Chair Rails
Footbolts

SABS – Lotus Slider Auto Braking System
Also available is a unique slow down mechanism to control the movement of the panel at the end of its motion. The Lotus Slider Auto Braking System (SABS) slows down the panel movement at the end of operation causing the panel to “brake” and close softly against the receiving jamb or stop. SABS provides an additional safety measure to minimise the possibility of injury and extra protection to the panel and surrounding structures. The SABS system maintains the easy operability of the panels in use and is highly recommended for an education setting where higher slider risk of misuse exists. Please consult Lotus regarding specifying this feature.
