A customer required an automated sliding timber gate 4.2 metres long and just 48 mm thick. The installation had originally been prepared for a much thinner steel gate with composite boarding. The track, groundworks and electrical installation were already in place, so the timber gate had to work within that restricted thickness. Planning and conservation requirements then meant that the proposed steel and composite gate could not be\u003cbr\u003eused and a timber solution was required. The combination of a 4.2 metre span, a restricted 48 mm overall thickness and the accuracy required for an automated sliding system created a difficult engineering problem. After other joinery manufacturers declined the project, Winder Joinery took it on. The solution was to combine Accoya timber with concealed structural stainless steel reinforcement. The completed gate was installed in December 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- ======================================================\n       4.

That dimension was specific to the constraints of the first installation, rather than a limitation of the system. For new projects, the construction can be specified more substantially. Our intended standard construction uses 3-inch Ipe stock, producing a finished gate approximately 65 mm thick and allowing an even more substantial, rigid structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gives Talos Core useful flexibility: the gate can be engineered around the requirements of the opening, automation system, site and design, rather than forcing every project into a single standard thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- ======================================================\n       7.
