architect@work has firmly established itself all over Europe with its effective concept, which promotes the intensive exchange of knowledge and innovative ideas between exhibitors and visitors. Only those architects, interior designers and planners who expect real innovation come to this event. Hawa Sliding Solutions AG has qualified for this claim with an acoustically effective sliding hardware, and has acquired one of the coveted exhibitor places for 2023 in Hamburg, Milan and Düsseldorf.
“Hawa Porta Acoustics” is in the focus of the pointed presentation. With this, the Swiss company has developed a sliding hardware system with an optimized, all-round seal which noticeably reduces the room to room noise situation by up to 39 decibels when the door is closed. However, tight closing with a high sound attenuation value does not only provide protection from noise. It also provides protection from unwanted odors, light incidence and drafts.
The “Hawa Porta Acoustics” moves doors weighing up to 100 kilograms easily and quietly with its sliding characteristics and the force deflection of the horizontal seal. “Hawa SoftStop” provides a braked and cushioned closing movement. The system can be implemented as a wall-mounted and pocket solution, and also in floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. Puristic design succeeds with concealed technology. The “Hawa Porta HMT Pocket Acoustics” scores points with its additional operating convenience: It brings doors out of the wall pocket with a gentle tap thanks to Push-to-open with a soft closing mechanism.
Comfortable quiet zones in no time
The tight closing, which has mostly only believed to be possible using hinged doors until now, predestines the sliding hardware system for numerous applications in which space-saving also plays a part. At architect@work from September 13 to 14 in Hamburg (Booth 97), from November 8 to 9 in Milan (Booth 41) and from December 6 to 7 in Düsseldorf (Booth 12), the Hawa team wants to enter into an intensive dialog with the visitors in order to discuss application ideas, acoustic requirements and efficient use of space. Interested parties can retrieve a code at https://www.hawa.com/to-architect-work-with-a-tightly-closing-sliding-door-hardware before the trade fairs which will give them free entry.
