Masterclass Glass Curtains – what can they do for you!

Do Not Take Any Risks

Feeling safe in your home and knowing your home is safe is all to do with the certainty of feeling protected, from the wind and the weather but most of all against intruders and accidents.

Sadly every year in Spain, there are over 30 accidents of children falling from balconies or terraces, some of the victims were children on holiday. Masterclass has a dedicated section regarding improving the safety of your home or your rental property called “Accident Prevention”. Together we can reduce this tragic number and stop these fatalities from happening within our homes.

Masterclass specialist manufacturing is involved in the construction of frameless glass doors.  The aluminium profiles are connected to the tracks using components designed to assist the individual door leaves in sliding within the top and bottom tracks.  The specially designed tracks contains sophisticated turning mechanisms that automatically determine where the doors are to swing open.  This automatic mechanism also provides “gates” that are necessary to ensure doors remain secure and locked as well as meeting current testing standards.  Turning the handle internally ensure doors are pushed and sealed together creating a weathertight seal and aiding compliance with current weather testing standards.

How Masterclass Glass Curtains are Constructed

Door panels are designed and constructed to take the majority of the door weight at the bottom.  Purpose designed wheels that are ultra strong and highly reliable are fitted at the bottom of each door panel.

All aluminium extrusions, framing, components and tracks are British designed and manufactured in accordance current CE Standards. Unlike other door manufacturers that outsource the construction of the glass double glazed units to other companies, all glass units are made in house.

Operation of the doors.

Once the main access leaf is activated and opened the remaining door panel’s stack, slide and fold.  All door leaves are super slim at only 45mm meaning that a minimal amount of space is taken up by all the folded panels.

Doors can be chosen to open inwards or outwards as well as sliding to the left or right as well as left and right.

To aid security and ease of use, the door locking mechanism is operated from inside utilising a handle with integrated key.  There is no locking mechanism on the outside. Operation is simple and easy with just a turn of the key and the handle whereby the access leaf automatically springs back.  The access leaf is particularly useful in using the doors to gain general access to the outside without having to slide every panel back.

Glass Construction and Specification.

Glass constructed of 10mm Toughened low iron glass.  A totally unique toughened glass spacer which is 20mm and using mitres is fixed between the edges of the glass.  Aluminium 20mm spacer bars are used at the top and bottom of the doors where they are situated within their slim frame. Profiles are compressed onto glass and fixed with a specialist polymer to aid sealing.

Masterclass security features are internally mounted to steel subsections to provide a robust and highly effective deterrent. High theft protection should not compromise the design or the curb appeal of the products but enhance its functionality. Masterclass multi option security protection can be increased to resistance class 3 (RC3) with the help of specific closing points. Locking handles, adapted to the consistent design expectations of Masterclass along with a monitoring of the closure of the aperture through the Masterclass “Smart “ Technology you are able to use a fob activation function when leaving your home are just some of the characteristics of our product range.

Multi Point Locking

Thanks to the Masterclass standard protection all of our mechanical locking is multi point engagement. Leaving the home should not be moment of doubt as the Masterclass product range incorporates a comprehensive multi point locking system as standard.

Closing Monitoring with Masterclass

Even a normal Masterclass window presents difficulties for thieves. But if this is not enough for you, know that the monitored closure, integrated in the window itself, has a confirmation function, using a magnetic switch, to electrically check all the closures when leaving the house. This increases the desired individual safety.
