What you gain with Europa 8000
Europa 8000 is the aluminium sliding system we recommend for large glazed openings where swing space is not available, thanks to a clean minimal look.
- Smooth gliding: heavy-duty roller carriages keep even large leaves light to move.
- Slim sightlines: narrow interlocks let more daylight into the room.
- Weather tightness: brush seals and gaskets limit air and water infiltration.
- Thermal comfort: polyamide thermal breaks cut heat loss through the frame.

We build each unit to your exact dimensions; the practical limits come from the load each roller carriage can carry.
How long does it take to install Europa 8000?
Most projects are fitted in one visit. Larger or structural jobs are planned in stages so your space stays usable.
Does Europa 8000 need servicing?
Maintenance is minimal: keeping the drainage slots clear so water never sits in the track is all that a unit normally needs.
