Western’s 2600 Series Wood/Aluminum-Clad Multi-Slide Doors and Windows are forcing our customers and the competition to rethink the possibilities of what a wood door (and our company) can do. While manufacturing multi-slide doors for more than 20 years, our customers have told us for years that we made the finest aluminum products in the market and they expressed how desperately they needed a wood multi-slide that had the same quality they received from Western. We are pleased to now offer our customers a wood/aluminum-clad multi-slide door with the same options, excellence and ease of operation that made Western’s aluminum door so popular in the first place. The fit, finish and attention to detail are exceptional, and the door panels roll open at the push of a finger. Different profile options make the 2600 Series a perfect fit as a compliment to the wood windows on your traditional home or as a touch of warmth to your contemporary projects. Every panel is available in massive sizes that can slide and stack to the side or completely vanish into a pocket, opening entire rooms to the gorgeous weather while you entertain. Go ahead, impress your friends and let Western’s wood/aluminum-clad multi-slides open your world.

The combination of both our wood/aluminum-clad and our aluminum multi-slides displays the variety of options and nearly unlimited configurations available to you.

• Panels are available in a “Traditional” or “Contemporary” style.
• “Traditional” panels have a beveled glazing leg and traditional interior wood stops that better match a customary wood window or door. The “Traditional” panels also offer 1-1/8” and 7/8” simulated divided lite options that are a good match to most wood window packages.
• “Contemporary” panels have a straight glazing leg and square wood stop that creates clean lines and sharp edges for a modern style. The “Contemporary” panels also offer 1.5” and 7/8” simulated divided lite options that are straight line and minimally styled.
• Stainless Steel bearing roller sizes are either 2.12” or the 3” Monster Roller.
• Both Narrow (3.62”) and Medium Stiles (5”) are available.
• Bottom rails are available in 3.62”, 5” or 8” dimensions for design flexibility and the option to match sightlines of adjacent wood doors on your project.
• Frames, head and side jambs are all clad with stain-grade wood on the interior of the door. Western provides a complete door and does not leave these important trim pieces out of our package.
• One of the few multi-slide door systems that has passed AAMA structural and water testing and is available with accurate NFRC labels. Contrast this with many fabricated systems utilizing manufacturers door panels and "hodge podge" frame and track systems that are rampant in the marketplace. These field-fabricated doors often do not have a warranty and are nearly always mislabeled (the NFRC labels shown are for standard sliding or hinged door panels from their manufacturer, not for a true multi-slide) which may result in a code violation.

• Standard door panels are 1.75" thick and are offered in sizes of 60 square feet per panel up to 120" tall.
• As an option, we can  manufacture the door using 2.25" thick panels and achieve sizes of 60 square feet per panel up to 144" tall.
• Unlimited configurations and widths. Our 2600 Series Wood/Aluminum-Clad Multi-Slide Doors can be built as wide as your project needs. Dream big.
• Exterior aluminum is made from strong, extruded aluminum cladding.
• The wood panels are made from LVL (laminated veneered lumber) cores to provide strength and durability for oversized panels.
• The interior of the head and side jambs is clad with wood to match the wood species that was chosen for the panels.
• Rolling panels can be stored in pockets or stacked at one or both ends of the opening.
• Panels can bi-part at 90 degrees, 180 degrees or virtually any angle in-between.
• Individual panels can be built as wide as 90”.
• 2600 Series Multi-Slide Doors or windows that are stored in pockets are designed to be totally flush with adjacent wall finishes, providing an unobstructed view of your patio, pool or landscape.
• Door panels open with ease with the option of Western’s 3”-stainless steel “Monster Roller.”
• The modular frame design of our stacking system allows you to configure any number of rolling or fixed glass panels to be meet your design.
• True to our design intent, everything from handle hardware to track details are clean, minimal and deliberately disappear.
• Head and threshold assemblies of pocket doors are prepared to precisely locate field applied interior and exterior post interlock members to ensure a full interlock and clean installation.
• Lower price points compared to other lift and slide door systems. Also, doors do not have to be unlocked and have the gears turned on each panel, making the door easier to unlock and open to the beauty of the outdoors.

All wood panels are made from LVL (laminated veneered lumber) cores that provide strength and durability for oversized panels. These wood cores include a stain-grade wood veneer on the interior that allows you to stain or paint your wood to match the interior furnishings of your home. The standard interior finish is unfinished Pine or Vertical Grain Fir. Exotic wood species are also available for special pricing. Those available for purchase include Anigre, Cherry, Maple, Red Oak, Sapele, Walnut and White Oak.

Whether anodized or painted, we can generally match any color for your window and door products. On top of unlimited color options, Western uses the highest quality finishes available today. For painted products, nearly all of Western’s colors and finishes conform to a minimum rating of AAMA-2605 (which is the highest rating available for organic finishes today). For anodized product, our Dark Bronze and Satin anodized finishes receive a Class 1 rating (which is the highest and most durable rating available for anodized aluminum finishes). Dark Bronze anodized is our most popular finish and has the best price point and production lead time. The other colors shown below are examples of Western “designer” colors which are available for a discounted price over a custom color match. These colors are for representation only. Please contact your nearest dealer or dealer representative for a full color sample list of our aluminum frame finishes and designer colors.

Please note that while Satin Anodized finishes are very popular, as a consumer you must be aware of the many limitations and imperfections of this finish option. By selecting and ordering this finish you are acknowledging your approval and acceptance of our satin anodized disclaimer.

Another popular choice for exterior aluminum frame finishes include our aluminum wood grain powder coat finishes. Each of these various powder coat options meet AAMA 2604 specifications and come in a variety of species and stain colors. The finishes shown below are for representation only. Please contact your nearest dealer or dealer representative for actual samples or more information.

The high-quality construction of our doors is only part of the story. We also pride ourselves on providing long-lasting, durable hardware to keep your multi-slide door operable and looking great for years.

• Smooth, quiet and long-lastingoperation is assured by Western’s heavy-duty, steel ball-bearing tandem roller assemblies, which are capable of handling more than twice the weight of the largest panel available.
• The stainless steel sliding door multi-point lock is a fully mortised hook lock that engages at multiple points in the lock jamb or panel. These hook locks provide additional strength, security and protection.
• Western’s custom-designed “Flush Handle” is hugely popular with architects and homeowners for its sleek design and user comfort.
• A stainless steel hardware package is optional, and strongly recommended for coastal applications.
• The flush handle is available in a Brushed Nickel or Black finish.

Western’s 2600 Series Multi-Slide Doors and Windows are designed to accommodate Duo-Pane Insulating Glass manufactured with a ½” air gap to maximize the benefit of high performance Low E. They can be glazed with a variety of glass types, colors, and configurations in thickness from 7/8” to 1” Duo-Pane.

Screens for Western’s 2600 Series Wood/Aluminum-Clad Multi-Slide Doors are optional and can be requested during the quoting process. They are available in aluminum frames only, and are constructed using the same frame and hardware components as the aluminum Multi-Slide Glass Doors. The screen doors are incredibly strong, smooth operating and aesthetically pleasing. They truly have the same quality and excellence as the door itself.

• The “Water Barrier” sill provides protection from water penetration and is recommended for all exterior applications. The 1.5” interior leg protects against water entering the inside of your home and the back leg of each sliding panel penetrates the track for additional protection against exterior elements. The “Water Barrier” sill is available in a Dark Bronze Class 1 Anodized finish.
• The “Flush” sill is ideal for conditions in which ease of entry is more important than weather performance. The interior and exterior height of the sill is only .75” and can flush out with most interior flooring for a smooth transition outside. The track sill provides some protection against weather as the back leg of each sliding panel penetrates the track to protect against exterior elements. The “Flush” sill traps and diverts water to the exterior, but will not prevent water penetration from blowing rain or pressure from a water hose. The “Flush” sill is available in a Dark Bronze Class 1 Anodized finish.
• The “Thinline” sill is ideal for conditions in which the customer is looking for a nearly seamless transition of flooring or countertop from the inside to the outside. It consists of staggered tracks exposing only a thinline where the panels roll as the finished floor is installed in between. The Thinline sill almost disappears completely, but does not provide protection from water penetration. The Thinline sill is always finished in our Warmtone color, but it will not be visible to the eye once the finished floor is installed.
