Yes, it is possible to order a fully functional sliding window sample for mock-up testing. Guangdong Xinhe Aluminium Co., Ltd fabricates customized samples with wall thicknesses of 1.2mm, 1.4mm, or 1.8mm and premium KIN LONG hardware, ensuring exact architectural specifications are met for performance validation.

Core Solutions & Key Takeaways

Precise Profile Specifications: Samples are manufactured with exact parameters, including a side frame of 90mm width by 35mm height, and sliding sashes measuring 31mm width by 62mm height.
Acoustic and Thermal Glazing Options: Custom glazing rebates of either 11.5mm or 28mm are available to fit the specific glass configurations required for your architectural project.
Versatile Slide Rail Configurations: Choose between narrow or wide slide rails, with options for flat, high, or low rails to accurately match the structural threshold design.
Certified In-House Testing: Pre-evaluation of sample structural integrity can be conducted at our national CNAS accredited testing laboratory before shipment.

Detailed Architectural/Principle Analysis

Modern building envelopes require strict adherence to performance metrics, making physical mock-up testing a standard phase in commercial procurement. A mock-up sliding window serves to verify wind pressure resistance, water tightness, and structural deflection. Utilizing virgin 6063-T5 aluminum alloy, our window profiles maintain a standard weight of 8.6Kg/㎡, providing structural strength without excessive dead load on the building frame.

Hardware selection directly affects operational cycling and long-term durability. By integrating standard KIN LONG hardware, our sliding window samples demonstrate realistic physical resistance during sliding cycles. This configuration ensures that weather stripping and EPDM multi-layered sealing strips compress correctly, preventing air leakage and moisture penetration even under extreme positive and negative wind pressures.

Our production practices are backed by global certifications, including SIRIM certification for extruded window shapes and Qualicoat certification for powder-coated finishes. This ensures that the aluminum surface retains its resistance to salt spray and UV exposure, a characteristic highly praised in major high-rise residential projects like Malaysia Johor Bahru Wanguo and Mets Place in the Philippines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the lead time for fabricating a custom sliding window sample?

The standard delivery time for a customized sliding window mock-up sample is 15-20 days. This period covers profile extrusion, surface treatment, hardware assembly, and final laboratory quality inspection.

Are the samples fully functional with glass and hardware installed?

Yes. Every mock-up sample is delivered fully assembled with specified sliding sashes, functional KIN LONG hardware, integrated rails, and the requested glass thickness utilizing our 11.5mm or 28mm glazing rebates.

Can the sample be tested for specific wind and water resistance standards?

Yes. The profiles are produced using extrusion lines ranging from 1,100 to 5,000 tons. Physical testing can be conducted in our CNAS national accredited testing laboratory to ensure they meet international watertightness and wind load standards before bulk shipment.

Final Conclusion & Recommendations

Ordering a physical mock-up sample ensures that the final installed systems align perfectly with project design goals, preventing structural errors on-site. For large-scale projects, our commercial framework supports flexible payment options, including T/T (50% deposit before manufacture and the remaining balance before loading for windows and doors) and Sight L/C.
