Telescope

Photography by Teknion

Telescope stands out in the architectural wall system space thanks to its soft-close and soft-open mechanism, offering a seamless operation. Designed for efficient space division with multiple sliding panels, each moving simultaneously and in a synchronized manner, this synchronization is achieved through a belt mechanism connected to each panel at the top. A pulley at each end of the glass panels ensures that they move in harmony with the belt. Additionally, a trolley system at the top allows the panels to glide smoothly along different rails and stack or telescope (hence the name) at the end. Available in two formats: Single Leaf stacks all panels on one side; while Double Leaf stacks panels on both corners. Single is available in 1+2, 1+3 and 1+4 format options and Double in 2+4, 2+6 and 2+8 format options (the first digit in each pair representing the number of fixed-glass panels and the second representing the number of sliding panels).
