5000 HORIZONTAL SLIDER
Our primary focus has been to manufacture energy saving window and door products. Throughout our history we have established ourselves as an innovator in the design and manufacturing capability of insulated windows and doors.
Stringent product testing and innovative design has allowed our products to evolve as market and consumer needs change. In the winter of 1989-90 we started to conceptualize and design our Rhino Commercial Aluminum window and door series. Today we have several commercial window styles in the Rhino line. This window and door series consists of a commercial horizontal slider, casement, single hung, double hung, hopper, awning, fixed and patio door. Each Rhino window reflects the design and manufacturing expertise we've implemented over the years. We also publish our AAMA test results to back up our claims of product performance and quality.
LC-30 HORIZONTAL SLIDER FEATURES

|
AAMA LC-PG30-HS rated slider window (156" x 72" 3-lite slider tested). |

|
2 3/8" thermally broken frame depth: Gerkin offers thermal breaks in the frame and sash for improved thermal efficiency. |

|
Polyethylene foam seal pads at all sash and frame corners: Gerkin ensures a tight fit at all corners by using these seals to seal out light, air and water. |

|
Integral nail fin: Nail fins are a standard feature for this window. The corners are closed which allows for full perimeter flashing. As an option, Gerkin will remove the nail fin for masonry and subframe installations. |

|
Jamb and Mullion Interlocks: The use of two interlocks helps to reduce deflection and creates a snug fit due to reduced movement away from the weather seals. The structure of the window is enhanced and air infiltration is reduced. |

|
Dual Weatherstripping: This window features heavy wool pile weatherstripping with a Mylar fin on both sides of the sash. This means that whether there are negative or positive pressures on the window, there will never be a disconnection of weatherstrip, thus giving Gerkin one of the tightest sliders on the market. |

|
Adjustable zinc chromate carbon steel ball bearing rollers: These rollers are designed to last for years with trouble free easy operation. Our sliders are among one of the easiest windows to operate with a maximum operating force of 15 pounds on the largest window we make. The rollers also offer a secondary height adjustment to help with sightline adjustments after installation. |

|
Two-position deadbolt lock: This level 10 forced entry rated deadbolt offers a secondary lock position which allows for security while offering two inches of ventilation. |

|
Anti- lift stop: Gerkin installs a security feature that won't allow the sash to be lifted out of the lock while the deadbolt is in either of the two locked positions. |

|
All sashes are marine glazed for easy replacement and stress free operation. |

|
Weeps with baffles: Gerkin includes an open cell foam inside each weep hole, which restricts snow, dirt, insects and other debris from entering the window through the weeps. |

|
Standard options: Gerkin offers complete subframe and panning systems, snap trims, sill flashing, stacking frames, stacking "H" channel, structural mulls, mull covers and factory applied extension jambs. |
6063-T5 Alloyed aluminum with butt cut fabrication and stainless steel screw fasteners.
5/8" OA double strength glass: Gerkin insulates its own glass and offers a twenty year seal warranty as well as a one year stress crack warranty. With the use of the Super Spacer® warm edges spacer system Gerkin insures a long seal life and thermal efficient glass. Standard glass options are LoÉ3, bronze and gray tint, obscure and tempered. Internal glass grilles are also a standard option. Custom glass options are available.
Extruded aluminum screen frames: The strength of extruded screens is a major maintenance cost advantage for Gerkin over easily damaged roll form screens.
Other options: Gerkin offers insulated panels as well as a louver system with a non-insulated blank-off panel for PTAC units. This unit can be incorporated into our Rhino window system and used in conjunction with any Rhino window. |
