01Systems

Seven systems.
Three families.

Partitions, doors, and sliding & folding glass walls, engineered on shared profile logic, continuous gasket engineering, and one coordinated finish range.

Luperal aluminium profile and double glazing base detail
One profile language · every system in the family

Every Luperal system is a variation of one engineering language.

Extruded aluminium profiles, continuous gaskets, laminated glass, and concealed connections, applied four ways across the family.

  • Partitionsestablish the plane
  • Doorsclose it, sealed
  • Slidinglet it open without swing
  • Foldinglet it disappear
04 — Comparison

Partition systems, side by side.

The same fields, in the same units, for each partition system. Door and sliding systems carry no published acoustic rating and are described on their own pages.

Laboratory tested: Measured on the complete assembly at an accredited laboratory. Report reference published. Calculated: Predicted by an independent acoustic consultant using recognised modelling software. Not a laboratory measurement. Maximum height is not a single published number: it is confirmed per project against span, glass build-up and deflection criteria.

05 — Compatibility

One glass library. One finish range. Every system.

Glass compatibility

Silentium 100
Double-glazed builds with laminated glass on both faces. Clear, low iron, frosted, tinted, textured and acoustic laminated faces. The laboratory result applies to the tested build-up; other faces are assessed per project.
Silentium Alto
Asymmetric double-glazed builds: a monolithic pane on one face and a laminated pane on the other. Clear, low iron, frosted, fluted, textured and acoustic laminated faces. Decorative faces are outside the laboratory test and are assessed per project.
Forma
Single glazing up to 13.52 mm laminated. Clear, low iron, frosted, fluted, textured, tinted, and ceramic printed.
Porta
Laminated and acoustic laminated glass; solid-core leaf options.
Vista
Structural toughened or laminated safety glass; clear, low iron, tinted, fluted, ceramic printed.
Trait
Laminated glass; clear, low iron, frosted, fluted faces.
Pli
Laminated glass; clear, low iron, frosted faces.

Finish compatibility

Anodised (natural to black), Qualicoat Class 2 powder coat in the full RAL range, and PVD metallics are available across the entire system catalogue, coordinated at project level so framed, frameless, and door conditions read as one surface.

06 — Selection guide

Start from the requirement, not the catalogue.

For each requirement: the system that fits, why it fits, and what the engineering team still has to confirm for your project.

  1. If you need

    Confidential rooms: boardrooms, executive floors, legal and financial interiors

    Specify

    Silentium 100

    Rw 52 dBLaboratory tested

    View Silentium 100

    Why it fits
    The highest tested result in the range: Rw 52 dB measured on the complete assembly, with BS 5234-2 Severe Duty robustness.
    Engineering confirms
    Any glass build-up other than the tested one, the maximum height, and the door-set in the run.
  2. If you need

    Meeting rooms and offices that need laboratory-tested separation, with a monolithic pane on one face

    Specify

    Silentium Alto

    Rw 51 dBLaboratory tested

    View Silentium Alto

    Why it fits
    Rw 51 dB, laboratory tested. Same 100 mm structure and sightlines as Silentium 100, so the two mix on one floor.
    Engineering confirms
    Decorative faces such as fluted or textured glass are outside the test. Maximum height.
  3. If you need

    Zone definition, office fronts and corridor screens with moderate acoustic needs

    Specify

    Forma

    Rw 36 dBCalculated

    View Forma

    Why it fits
    A 35 mm single-glazed profile with a 25 mm sightline. Rw 36 dB, calculated, with 6 + 6 mm laminated glass.
    Engineering confirms
    The rating is a calculation, not a laboratory test. Not the system for confidential rooms.
  4. If you need

    An entrance in a Silentium partition run

    Specify

    Porta

    Door-set test pendingNot yet tested

    View Porta

    Why it fits
    The jamb connects to the Silentium post by T-slot, so door and partition share one 100 mm plane, with perimeter and drop seals.
    Engineering confirms
    The door-set has no laboratory rating yet. Wall-plus-door performance is assessed per project.
  5. If you need

    Transparency-first screens and frameless entrances

    Specify

    Vista

    Visual-priority systemNot an acoustic system

    View Vista

    Why it fits
    No visible profile on the primary glass face: concealed channel base and point fixings.
    Engineering confirms
    Vista carries no acoustic rating. Glass thickness and fixings are engineered per project.
  6. If you need

    Glazed openings without swing clearance

    Specify

    Trait

    No acoustic ratingNot an acoustic system

    View Trait

    Why it fits
    Telescopic sliding panes on a concealed head track.
    Engineering confirms
    In development. No released data sheet or acoustic rating yet.
  7. If you need

    Rooms that divide and reopen on demand

    Specify

    Pli

    No acoustic ratingNot an acoustic system

    View Pli

    Why it fits
    Top-hung folding panels that stack to one or both sides.
    Engineering confirms
    In development. No released data sheet or acoustic rating yet.
