Sealing rail

This element provides protection not only against wind and rain, but also against burglars. Supplementing the rails with several optional components guarantees burglary protection in class RC2. They allow easy adjustment of the sash. This is made possible by the use of adjustable hook presses. These elements effectively make it difficult to push out the sash.
The rails used in wood-aluminium lift and slide doors provide both vertical and horizontal insulation.
