Order process

  • 1 How can I order a sliding door from you? keyboard_arrow_down
    The easiest way is to use our configurator. A technical clarification is then made directly here and all further processes are mapped automatically. However, our configurator cannot map all applications. You are therefore also welcome to send us your order by email. Please use the corresponding order and inquiry form.

    Our products are packaged using the On Demand Packaging® process. We almost completely avoid the use of plastics in our shipping packaging.

You can therefore recycle our shipping packaging free of charge and sustainably via the waste paper recycling process.

Mounting

  • 1 Is the installation of the sliding doors laborious? keyboard_arrow_down
    Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question and it depends on many factors. We would like to make the assembly as simple and uncomplicated as possible for you and already pre-assemble almost all components (rollers, stoppers, rails, etc.).

    Sliding doors with infill material are of course delivered pre-assembled at the factory. Sliding doors without or prepared for on-site filling material (collection BAUSATZ) are delivered disassembled. But here too, all profiles are already precisely cut to size and provided with the necessary drill holes/punch holes.

    How elaborate the assembly is in the end, however, depends among other things also on the condition of the building substance. We offer already for a small additional price, appropriate fastening material. Alternatively, you can of course also use your own fastening material.

  • 2 How long does the assembly take? keyboard_arrow_down
    Here, too, we cannot give a blanket answer. The duration of the installation basically depends on the size of the sliding door system and the condition of the building structure.

  • 4 Do I need special fastening material for mounting? keyboard_arrow_down
    No, not really. As a rule, the familiar fastening materials such as screws, nylon dowels, etc. are sufficient. In individual cases, it may be advisable to use a mounting adhesive suitable for the substrate for further fastening. However, you should check this in each individual case.

These brackets are already pre-assembled at the factory and only need to be adjusted to the appropriate angle of the roof slope. In addition, 2 clip holders are supplied with each adapter. These brackets can later be used to attach the on-site fascia above the guide rail.

Planning

  • 1 What do I basically have to consider when planning with your products? keyboard_arrow_down
    The question is not very easy to answer. Since our system is suitable for a wide range of installation situations, the answer can be very specific and related to the application. First of all, it is important for us to convey that the decision for our system does not end in a dead end. Our modular rail system usually always finds a solution and allows us and our customers a high degree of design freedom and planning security. Simply send us an e-mail with your requirement. Our customer service will be happy to combine all necessary components and materials and provide you with a technically clarified offer.

  • 2 How long will it take for my request to be processed? keyboard_arrow_down
    That depends entirely on how meaningful and extensive the inquiry is. Basically, we always have to read your request technically and evaluate it for us. As a rule, we answer inquiries that reach us by 12 noon on the same day. Requests we receive in the afternoon will be answered until 12 o'clock the following day. In any case, we get back to you promptly, even if we still have questions. Basically you can say, the more concrete and shorter a request is, the faster we answer. Key points in combination with a small hand sketch or a photo are therefore often sufficient for us to be able to process the request.

  • 3 Do you also have a price list? keyboard_arrow_down
    We do not have a printed price list. Our sliding doors are always configured individually. This is usually done via our online configurator. If the planned sliding door system does not work via the configurator, we will be happy to check what is technically feasible. Therefore, please send us a message with all necessary information to our customer service. Supporting you can also use our [inquiry form].

    Spare parts as well as individual assemblies and samples can be calculated and ordered directly via our Articleshop.

    Do you need individual spare parts for an existing sliding door? You can find these in the Individual Parts section.

    The part numbers of the spare parts can be found on the technical data sheet of the respective system in the Technical Compendium.

  • 5 In what sizes are Kuhn products manufactured? keyboard_arrow_down
    Our sliding doors are always made exactly to measure in millimeter increments. A min. and max. dimension can not be named as a general rule. We can produce very high and wide sliding doors with low weight. Everything that our configurator offers is technically feasible for the time being. However, our configurator only covers a small part of the technical possibilities. For example, we can also produce honeycomb panel sliding doors up to 2000 mm wide and 4000 mm high.

    If the desired size in the configurator is not feasible, you should not immediately despair. Download our Download inquiry form (PDF) and send your inquiry by e-mail to service@kuhn-schiebetueren.de. We will check what is technically feasible and provide you with a solution proposal in a timely manner.

  • 9 Which dimensions do I have to communicate to KUHN or enter in the configurator? keyboard_arrow_down
    Width: Measure the finished plastered opening from wall or reveal left to right in 3 places (top/middle/bottom) and enter the smallest dimension in the configurator.

    Height: Measure from the finished plastered ceiling or lintel to the top of the finished floor (OKFF) in 3 places (left/center/right) and enter the least dimension in the configurator.

    Caution: If you find dimensional deviations of more than 5 mm, we need further information from you. To tell us these, please use our measurement sheet.
    .
    We will then calculate the exact dimension and adjust the rail lengths according to your specifications. For arrangements between Two walls, we recommend to adjust the rail lengths according to the determined dimensions above and below. In order to place the rails between the walls without any problems, we also recommend to order them 3 mm shorter. You can adjust the exact dimension of the rail in the configuration process. If this is too uncertain for you, you can also order the rails 100 mm longer and shorten them on site.

  • 12 I get an error message when I open the configurator. What is the reason for this? keyboard_arrow_down
    In most cases, the problem is related to the screen resolution. Please proceed as follows:

    Smartphone/iPhone: Rotate your smartphone/iPhone from vertical to horizontal position. It would be even better if you use a PC/iMac or a tablet/iPad. Unfortunately, a small smartphone/iPhone screen can't really display the configuration processes well. Nevertheless, it works with a smartphone/iPhone in landscape mode.

    Tablet/iPad: Rotate your tablet/iPad from vertical to horizontal position or check the resolution of your tablet/iPad. The screen resolution should be min 600 pixels wide and 1024 pixels high.

    PC/Mac: Maximize the browser window and click on the "Reload page" button. Alternatively, you can also reload your browser session. This usually works with the key combination Ctrl + R (Microsoft) and Command + r (Apple). If the error message is still displayed, please check the screen resolution. The screen resolution should be at least 600 pixels wide and 1024 pixels high.

    You do not know which screen resolution is set on your end device. Here you can view your screen resolution in the browser.

    More information: Microsoft | Apple

    In a few cases, an older browser version can also trigger malfunctions. In this case, you should update your browser version on the respective device.

    If you still get this error displayed after adjusting the above measures, please feel free to contact us.

    Direction and wrong do not exist here either. However, our experience has formed a clear opinion. Everything that has more than 2 rails should be designed as a bottom-running system.

    Why do we recommend this? This is mainly because bottom-running systems basically run without play in the rail.

    Top-running systems must already be equipped with an accompanying paddle driver in the case of 2-running arrangements. This then ensures that the 1st wing is carried along in the 2nd wing. Works first so far but depending on the wing width and number of wings, the sliding door system then gets relatively much play.

    Achtung: A suction in the building (eg by opening a door) can then lead to the fact that the sliding door wings swing stronger or weaker.

  • 18 I want to integrate the top rail into the ceiling, does it work and what do I need to consider? keyboard_arrow_down
    This works very well. Our modular rail system can be used for the following installation variants:

    Wall mounting
    ceiling mounting
    integrated ceiling mounting

    Our rail system has a height of 60 mm. The width is based on the respective rail combination. The reasonable combinable variants can be found in the respective sections.

    Tip: If you are not yet sure whether you want to use a bottom-running or top-running system, you can also install in advance only the base profile in the intended ceiling recess.

    You can then decide at a later date which variant you would like to use. Also, whether you want to use an aluminum frame, all-glass or honeycomb panel sliding door system, you can decide at a later time after installing the base rail. The entire system is based on each other and can be combined with each other. This offers you a maximum of planning security and design variety.

  • 19 I don't have enough space in my ceiling construction to incorporate your 60 mm base rail. Can I still use your system? keyboard_arrow_down
    Yes, this works. The following possibilities show up:

    You have the option of a top-running system without the base profile. The height of the running rail is then only 32 mm. An overview of the possibilities can be found in the technology compendium.

    You use a bottom-running system with 48 mm rail height. This is our Eco system. A high-quality system which but price offers the entry into our product world.

    You still use the base rail with 60 mm and let this protrude slightly from the suspended ceiling.

  • 20 My ceiling is not straight, what do I need to consider? keyboard_arrow_down
    We generally recommend installing the upper guide rail straight and finishing the gap between the rail and ceiling/ lintel with acrylic. Glazing blocks are very helpful for leveling the ceiling rail. However, these are not part of the scope of delivery.

    If the course of the ceiling deviates very much from left to right, you can also use one of our stick-on glazing bar profiles to cover the gap.

  • 21 Why are there different frame profiles? keyboard_arrow_down
    Each of our frame systems has been developed for a specific application. Goods have profiles that not only provide a visual finish to the filling material, but also offer added functional value in the application.

    Basically, it can be said that frame profiles with integrated stop seal are very suitable for use between two walls and in front of and against a wall.

    The sash then forms a clean and almost tight closure to the wall by means of integrated stop seal.

    In addition, the continuous handle strip forms a high ease of use. The opposite is the case when we place doors running in front of the wall. The handle strip is then covered by the wall on one side. We do not recommend frame systems with integrated handle strip then for this application.

    Frameless systems but also systems with a narrow aluminum frame, where then additionally in the surface a handle is placed, are much better suited for this application.

    We can write and explain a lot here, we have already prepared good content on our website in the section Alurahmen-Schiebetüren.

    Possible handle options can be found on our website under the heading handles.

  • 22 Are there different rail profiles? keyboard_arrow_down
    We distinguish between the Eco series 48 mm view and Pro series 60 mm view. Our Eco series is an entry-level product from our product world in terms of price.

    Our series Pro can simply depict almost everything and is the absolute professional range in our portfolio.

    Many of our market competitors have successively expanded their range over time and usually created individual "island solutions". We have a fully modular system, which in itself forms a self-contained unit.

    Everything is possible, everything can be combined with each other in a meaningful way. This makes our Pro series not only flexible to use, but also particularly sustainable.

  • 23 What are the dimensions of the upper rail profiles? keyboard_arrow_down
    We offer our rail profiles in 2 different heights. Here we distinguish as follows:

    Series Eco = 48 mm / Series Pro = 60 mm

    The width of the rails is determined by the exact system configuration.

  • 24 What do I have to pay attention to on the floor or floor construction? keyboard_arrow_down
    Please check in advance whether the room in which the sliding door system is to be installed has underfloor heating. In this case, we recommend that the bottom track (whether surface-mounted or recessed) is simply glued to the floor covering or screed. Our recessed tracks are fixed to the screed surface and our surface mounted tracks are fixed to the finished floor. However, dimensions always refer to the upper edge of the finished floor (OKFF). What exactly does OKFF mean? Upper edge of finished floor.

    Achtung! Please never give us the dimension without finished floor.
    .
    In principle, however, our running rails are suitable for almost all types of flooring.

  • 25 I have a skirting board on the wall or in the reveal, how do I bridge the gap? keyboard_arrow_down
    The following options are available for selection:

    Unclip skirting and allow door leaf to ride up to wall/leaf. Use one of our 3 different plinth leveling profiles. Alternatively, we also offer an adjustable wall leveler. The complete overview of these profiles can be found at the following link:

    For more information: Data Sheet Additional Profiles (PDF)

    Attention! When measuring, please make sure that despite the skirting board on the floor, the dimension is measured from wall/leaf left to wall/leaf right. The configurator automatically adjusts the sash width when using a base or wall compensation profile.
    .
    It is important that you adjust the bottom rail length according to the smaller width (between the skirting boards) in the configuration process.

  • 26 Are there also handles for KUHN sliding doors? keyboard_arrow_down
    Some of our systems do not require additional handles.

    This applies to the following systems AR20, AR30, AR30B, AR30F and WP30. For all other systems, they are in the configuration process corresponding handles to choose from. It is also possible to deselect the handles.

    We then manufacture the sliding doors without handles and recesses. Our handles are basically available in the corresponding profile colors silver, platinum white, black and alpine white. Special colors and finishes are basically available upon request.

    For aluminum frame and all-glass sliding doors, we also offer polished hole drilling in the glass on request. You can determine the diameter and arrangement yourself.

    If none of our handle variants appeals to you and you would like to use a specific handle, please send us an inquiry with a picture of the desired handle variant. If technically possible, we will then be happy to offer you the desired variant.

    A complete overview of our handle variants can be found on our website under the heading handles.

    Caution: We do not offer handle cutouts to customer specifications for individual sliding door installations. We also do not pre-assemble handles provided by the customer at the factory. If it is a project with several sliding door systems, there is the possibility to realize customer-specific wishes..

  • 27 To what dimension are the handles placed on the sliding door and can I also freely choose the distances? keyboard_arrow_down
    Unless otherwise specified, our handles are arranged at a height of 1050 mm. This dimension refers to the upper edge of the finished floor (OKFF) to the center of the handle. Unless otherwise specified, the edge distance is 70 mm from the outer edge of the sash to the center of the handle.

    This dimension is based on the sash projection of 30 mm on the wall surface. If you want a larger sash projection, you should also place the handle accordingly further on the surface.

    Ex. The sash has a sash projection of 30 mm on the wall in the standard configuration process. The handle is arranged by the configurator with 70 mm distance. However, you now want a sash projection of 80 mm. In this case, the handle should be adjusted to 120 mm distance.

    You should provide us with this information when making an inquiry or placing an order.

    The height of the handle can be freely selected on request and thus placed higher or lower. The lateral arrangement can be larger 70 mm but not smaller.

    This is mainly related to the fact that the handle must not be placed too close to the edge area due to a risk of glass breakage.

    A complete overview of our handle variants can be found on our website under the heading handles.

  • 28 Which adhesive do I use for the bottom track? keyboard_arrow_down
    This depends entirely on which floor covering is present. Our surface-mounted running rails are already delivered with a corresponding (strongly adhesive) tape. In addition, this can then be fixed with a mounting adhesive approved for the floor covering, depending on the substrate. Our recessed running rails are usually glued in place with the appropriate adhesive for the floor covering. This can be, for example, a tile, parquet, carpet or vinyl flooring adhesive.

    Basically, you should make sure that the adhesive shows good compatibility with the materials used and is solvent-free.

    Caution: Please make sure that the substrate is free of dust and grease.
    .
    We assume no liability for the compatibility of the adhesive with the corresponding materials!

  • 33 Can I also divide the sliding doors with muntin profiles? keyboard_arrow_down
    Aluminum frame sliding doors can be divided with muntin profiles. Basically, we distinguish between surface-mounted and infill-dividing muntins. Depending on the selection of the corresponding frame system, we offer different muntin widths. These usually correspond to the face width of the upright frame profiles. Such as AR30 (30 mm profile view, 30 mm muntin width. Glazing bars can be arranged both horizontally and vertically. However, the configurator currently allows only a horizontal one. If you want a vertical muntin arrangement, please feel free to contact us.

    The following combinations are possible:

    Rung attached 10 mm:
    AR10, AR10S

    Rung attached and fill-splitting 25 mm:
    AR20 Eco

    Rung attached and fill-splitting 30 mm:
    AR30, AR30B

    No glazing bars are available for the systems listed here:
    AR02F, AR30F, GG00, WP00, WP02, WP30

    The selection options of the muntin variants are automatically filtered in the configurator. Only what is technically possible can be selected.

  • 34 I would like to use my own filling material and install it myself, what do I have to do? keyboard_arrow_down
    No problem, many of our customers install the filling material themselves. We then deliver the sashes disassembled. However, all components are already precisely cut and pre-drilled. We also pre-assemble the majority of the fittings. This means little effort on the part of the customer.

    To order this version, simply configure your sliding door system completely and then select the appropriate material thickness under the menu item "Fillings" in the collection "BAUSATZ". We will then deliver the wings pre-prepared according to your desired material thickness.

    You will receive the filling dimension in the summary of your configuration and additionally after technical inspection by our customer service with receipt of the order confirmation.

    The following material thicknesses are possible:

    Aluminum frame sliding doors

    This is mainly because bottom-running systems basically run without play in the rail. Top-running systems must already be equipped with an accompanying sash driver in the case of 2-track arrangements. This then ensures that the 1st sash is carried along in the 2nd sash. Works first so far but depending on the wing width and number of wings the sliding door system then gets relatively much play.

  • 4 What are the properties of aluminum frame sliding doors? keyboard_arrow_down
    Aluminum frame sliding doors are particularly light and can be used for large sash dimensions. In combination with infill dividing transoms, aluminum frame sliding doors can be equipped with different infill materials. The circumferential frame forms a practical closure to the filling material and usually takes over not only the sealing to the wall, but also the operation of the wing. Overall, it can be said that aluminum frame sliding doors are suitable for almost any application.

    Which different aluminum frame systems we offer and what advantages are associated with them, you can find on our website under the heading Alurahmen-Schiebetüren.

  • 6 What are the properties of honeycomb panel sliding doors? keyboard_arrow_down
    Honeycomb panel sliding doors are made of 38 mm thick wooden material construction. The outer layers are each 8 mm thick. The inner core is constructed from a 22 mm thick, very stable honeycomb. In the edge area we process an approx. 50 mm wide bar made of multi-layer birch wood all around. In addition, depending on the width, several aluminum rectangular tubes are inserted in the inner part of the honeycomb and connected to the outer cover layers. Due to this technical structure, our honeycomb panel sliding doors, in conjunction with appropriate additional equipment, have good sound insulation properties, high stability and a sash weight that, despite its good properties, has a balanced weight.

    You can find out which different frame systems we offer and the advantages associated with them on our website under the heading Honeycomb-panel-sliding-doors.

  • 17 Why are there different frame profiles? keyboard_arrow_down
    Each of our frame systems has been developed for a specific application. Our range includes frame profiles that not only provide a visual finish to the filling material, but also offer added functional value in the application.

    Basically, it can be said that frame profiles with integrated stop seal are very suitable for use between two walls as well as in front of and against a wall.

    The sash then forms a clean and almost tight seal to the wall by means of integrated stop seal.

    In addition, the continuous handle strip forms a high ease of use. The opposite is the case when we place doors running in front of the wall. The handle strip is then covered by the wall on one side and this makes these systems largely unusable for this application.

    For these applications, we have within the system family frameless systems but also systems with a narrow aluminum frame, where then additionally a handle is placed on the surface in the range.

    Which different aluminum frame systems we offer and what advantages are associated with them, you will find on our website:

    Alurahmen-Schiebetür
    All-glass sliding door
    Honeycomb-panel-sliding-door

    The following systems do not require an additional handle in the panel:

    AR20
    AR30
    AR30B
    AR30F
    WP30

  • 3 How many individual packages will I receive upon delivery and how big are they? keyboard_arrow_down
    The number of packages depends on the quantity of door leaves and designs of your sliding door system. We deliver all sliding doors with infill material pre-assembled. So if you order a sliding door with 2 leaves from us, you will receive a total of 3 packages. 2 packages for the respective wings and 1 package for running and guide rails. Accessories that cannot be pre-assembled by us, such as loose brush seals, fastening material, etc., are placed in the upper guide rail. Therefore, there is usually no separate box for accessories. Sliding doors ordered without filling material (BAUSATZ collection) are delivered disassembled. But even here, all profiles are already precisely cut and provided with the necessary holes/punches. Accessories that can already be pre-assembled by us at the factory, we also assemble.

  • 5 My shipment is missing items, what can I do? keyboard_arrow_down
    Please check in advance whether the item has already been preassembled or whether it is a loose accessory in the upper guide rail. As a rule, we pre-assemble almost all accessory components, e.g. soft-stop automatic, carriage, stopper, etc. In the case of bottom-running systems, the running and guide rails are packed together. This is not visible at first sight. In many cases, we already deliver top tracks and guide rails as well as the corresponding accessories in advance. Therefore, check whether the accessories have already been received in advance.
