The ALPES TS130 is a side-pressure aluminum sliding window worth considering when a villa layout calls for a sliding glass sash instead of a swinging one. Before ordering, confirm the fixed and movable panel arrangement, frame dimensions, screen movement and exact glazing specification. Its side-pressure seal describes a closing feature; the performance of the proposed window still needs to be checked against project requirements.
What is the TS130 side press window?
ALPES, a China-based system window and door manufacturer, presents the TS130 side press window as a sliding system with side-pressure rubber seals and continuous sealing strips. Its product page lists two opening arrangements: one fixed panel with one movable panel, or a fixed center panel with movable panels on both sides.
For a buyer, the useful distinction is between the way the sash moves and the way it closes against the seals. Ask for a demonstration of the handle, sliding action and final locking position. A closing mechanism alone does not establish a measured air, water or acoustic rating for every size and glass combination.
Which published dimensions belong in the project brief?
The following fields are listed on the ALPES TS130 product page, checked on September 19, 2026. Use them to identify the proposed system and request the relevant section drawing. They are not a substitute for an approved drawing of your opening.
| Product-page field | Listed value | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Profile Thickness | 1.8–2.0 mm | Which profiles and sections apply to the quoted assembly? |
| Profile Grade | 6060-T66 | Does the quotation identify the same material specification? |
| Frame Wall Width | 130 mm | Where is this dimension measured in the frame section? |
| Glass Sash Thickness | 55 mm | What separate glass build-up is proposed? |
| Sash Width / Frame Width | 75 mm / 26 mm | How do these fields relate to the visible frame and meeting sections? |
| Track Height | 53/31 mm | Which track section is included, and how does it meet the sill? |
Keep the field names separate. “Glass Sash Thickness” does not mean glass thickness, and “Frame Width” is not the overall width of the complete window. Ask ALPES to mark the dimensions on the proposed drawing.
Choose the opening layout before comparing prices
Begin with a room plan showing the opening, furniture, curtains and access route. For the one-fixed-plus-one-movable arrangement, identify which panel moves and where it parks. For the fixed-center arrangement, mark both movable panels and the intended ventilation positions. Label every drawing as viewed from inside or outside to avoid reversing the layout.
Ask for the clear opening dimensions with the sash in its intended open position. Overall frame width does not tell you the usable opening. If handle reach matters, mark the handle position and nearby worktops on the same drawing so the proposed operation can be reviewed before production.
Check screen movement as well as glass-sash movement
The TS130 glass sash slides, but the product page also describes inward-opening and inward/outward-opening mesh options. A sliding glass sash therefore does not mean that every part of the chosen assembly stays outside the room. Confirm the screen type, hinge side, opening path and removal method.
Show any blinds, curtains or furniture that could obstruct the screen. Request a drawing with the glass and screen shown in their open positions, and confirm access for cleaning the track and servicing the hardware. Keep optional accessories itemized so a product illustration is not mistaken for the included configuration.
Request evidence for the exact window being quoted
A useful technical submission identifies the model, unit dimensions, glass build-up, hardware and opening arrangement together. When performance is part of the brief, request the applicable report and ask whether the proposed size and configuration fall within its scope. The TS130 specification table reviewed for this guide does not provide a thermal K-value; do not substitute a value from another ALPES model.
- Glazing: request pane thicknesses, cavity details and any proposed coating or interlayer in writing.
- Sealing: ask for air and water performance evidence relevant to the selected assembly, including test conditions.
- Hardware: confirm the proposed hardware set and permitted sash dimensions and weight. A pulley capacity claim is not the complete window's load limit.
- Installation interface: request the frame-to-wall and sill details for coordination with the project installer.
Coordinate the window with the villa's doors and elevations
Give adjacent openings separate identifiers even when they share a finish. If the plan includes aluminum swing doors, specify the door's swing direction, hardware and glazing independently. ALPES currently presents that category as a project enquiry option without a detailed model list; TS130 window specifications should not be transferred to a door quotation.
For regional project context, ALPES' Middle East villa windows and doors project describes design, manufacturing and supply for residential villas. It provides a reference for discussing the overall project brief, but it does not identify TS130 as the installed model. Ask separately for references and technical information relevant to your selected system and location.
What should you send for a TS130 quotation?
Prepare an opening schedule with one row per distinct window type. Attach marked elevations and room plans rather than relying on a photograph alone.
- State the project country and city, room location, opening reference and quantity.
- Give width and height, units of measurement, and whether these describe the wall opening or intended finished frame.
- Mark fixed and movable panels, sliding direction, viewing side and required clear opening.
- List the requested glass, finish, mesh arrangement and accessories, with unresolved choices clearly marked.
- Provide the project's performance requirements and ask which supporting documents are available.
- Confirm delivery destination, installation responsibilities, requested timing and after-sales terms in the quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Does TS130 open like a casement window?
Its listed glass-panel arrangements are sliding configurations. ALPES describes a side-pressure seal at closure. Review the operating demonstration and screen movement to understand the complete assembly.
Does the 55 mm field specify the glass thickness?
No. The product page labels 55 mm as “Glass Sash Thickness.” Ask for a separate glass specification identifying the panes and any cavities or interlayers.
Can TS130 be specified for every villa opening?
Suitability needs to be confirmed for each opening's dimensions, operation and performance requirements. The model name and a general project reference are not enough to approve a configuration.
Are all pictured accessories included?
Treat the quotation and approved drawings as the configuration record. Ask ALPES to state the included screen, hardware and accessories explicitly and identify any separately priced options.
Plan the assembly before placing the order. Send ALPES the opening schedule, marked drawings and preferred configuration through the website's enquiry form. Request a TS130 proposal that separates confirmed specifications from open decisions, so the window, screen and surrounding finishes can be coordinated before manufacturing.
