Impressive demo assembly
In October 2022, Romanian company Madrugada carried out demo assembly with the evolutionDrive Plus+ parallel retraction sliding system from Salamander and the Roto Patio Inowa intelligent sliding hardware. Another demo assembly was performed at Salamander in Türkheim at the same time. Madrugada’s production operations are based in Palota, close to the border between Romania and Hungary.
The window producer came to the conclusion that Roto Patio Inowa is pleasantly easy and quick to install in the Salamander system. With its delicate strikers on the frame and the cover caps for the striker in the mullion, the concealed hardware looks good even when the sliding element is open.

Large elements even with a minimal installation depth
Salamander recommends its evolutionDrive Plus+ parallel retraction sliding system for all installation situations which do not offer the necessary depth to install a conventional Lift&Slide door. According to the system supplier, Patio Inowa makes it possible to produce extremely wind-tight and rain-tight constructions with a frame size up to a width of 4000 mm and a height of 2600 mm. Diagram A sliding elements can also be designed in RC 2 using conventional, standard measures. Glazing thicknesses of up to 48 mm are possible, achieving a Uw heat transfer coefficient of up to 0.71 W/(m2 K) and a sound insulation value of up to 44 dB. This makes evolutionDrive Plus+ ideal for energy-efficient construction and for use in areas with higher noise levels.
