MULTI-STACK DOORS
Bold clean lines, Freedom to entertain
When opening up and creating light in your home, South Pacific Multi-Stack Doors provide the perfect solution. Our doors create a relaxed and spacious environment for easy everyday living. Available in 3,4,6, or 8 panel configurations. Multi-Stack Doors allow clear opening of two thirds compared to standard Sliding Doors, which only open to half their overall width.
Our range is constantly being improved and expanded and we now offer the exciting addition of combining two Multi-Stack Doors at 90 degrees, which can meet together without the need of a corner post. Our Multi- Stack Doors have been designed with Australia’s unique architecture and climate in mind, offering a clean and contemporary look. Additional options include Sashless Windows with flyscreens inserted within the otherwise fixed panels which allow for an efective pest-free ventilation solution when the doors are open.
As with all South Pacific Windows, the choice to combine energy efficient Single or Double Glazing and/or Thermally Efficient Framing is always available to further enhance the value, efficiency and comfort of your home.
TYPICAL MULTI-STACK CONFIGURATIONS
Sizes
All South Pacific Windows and Doors are made to order. Being manufacturers we have the unique flexibility to fabricate various sizes, configurations and applications.
Please ask one of our staff to guide you with all the possibilities
Corner Free
Generally when Doors are built into the corner of a structure, a steel post or brickwork is required to support the structure above, ie a roof or additional floors.
A corner free option is possible when the corner support is replaced with a cantilever support structure above the doors, this creates the perfect open area, so when the doors are opened, the frameless effect becomes a truly uninterupted living area.
Our range is constantly being improved and expanded. We now offer the exciting addition of combining two South Pacific Sliding Doors, two Multi-Stack or two Bi-Fold Doors meeting together at 90 degrees, without the need of a corner post, with various screen options also available. Coupled with Flush Floor Track options, the result is a seamless between two living spaces.
Cavity Sliding Doors
For a contemporary interior, you can create a minimalistic aesthetic with our Cavity Sliding Doors. They open effortlessly with a quiet and seamless transition between the inside and outside of your home.
Cavity Doors have a unique open style that maximises space to obtain visual lightness and continuity by allowing the sliding panels to slide into the cavity pocket of your walls. Maintenance free operation and should the need arise the glass door and hardware can be adjusted or replaced without the need of opening up the wall.
So whether you are looking for a discreet door that disappears quietly into the background or looking to make a bold statement with a feature opening, South Pacific have a solution for you.
Flush Sill
From entrance to exit, a seamless transition from inside to outside
Seamless transition from inside to outside using our flush sill is possible with all our door products. Visually pleasing and minimises the tripping hazard of the generally raised door sill.
A flush integrated stainless steel drain is also available to enhance drainage.

DECORATIVE
Textured glass for design and / or privacy
The versatility of glass means it has many uses beyond simply providing a view. The use of glass as a design feature is growing in popularity and there are plenty of decorative glass options including tinted options available today to suit your décor.
Decorative glass or obscured glass is great way to offer privacy in bathrooms, toilets, stairwells, sidelights to entry doors etc.
Glass can be patterned, textured, frosted or screen printed in a range of colours and designs. Possible applications include windows, doors and petition walls. Most decorative glass options can be toughened or laminated to provide a safety solution when required.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Glass that assists in solar and thermal control of a home
Do you know on average homes loses approximately 50% of heat and gains approximately 90% of heat through ordinary glass of windows and doors. The use of energy efficient double glazing can reduce the heat transfer though the glass by over 50%.
When planning to build your new home using South Pacific Eco Windows and Doors combined with single or double glazing will deliver more comfort by helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer while enabling the use large areas of glass creating a feeling of space and being on with the outdoors.
Choosing energy efficient glass is one of the most simple and cost effective measures to minimise the use of artificial heating and cooling, whilst maintaining a comfortable home year round. It is also much easier on the environment, while giving significant reductions in home energy costs.
Windows and doors are vital to the energy efficiency of any home. Research by the sustainable Windows Alliance of Australia shows the typical Australia home can achieve an increase of 2 to 2.5 stars energy efficiency simply by upgrading the windows and doors.
There are two main types of energy efficient glass.
Firstly Low-E glass which is typically single glazing and secondly double glazing.
FADING & UV PROTECTION
Laminated glass is made by fusing two pieces of glass with a clear inter-layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) through the use of heat and pressure
It is this inter-layer that absorbs the sun’s harmful UV radiation and helps reduce and protect your timber floors, carpets, furniture and artwork from fading.
Laminated glass will stop up to 99% of UV radiation while allowing most of the natural visible light through all without also affecting the growth of your indoor plants.
With a minimum thickness of 6.38 laminated glass also offers a level of security from break-ins combined with Grade A safety rating. In addition, it has the ability to reduce noise, making for a quieter home.
To reduce the amount of solar heat and glare entering you home a choice of green, grey and bronze laminated is available, making for a cooler home.
NOISE REDUCTION
Glass solutions designed to reduce sound transmission
Whether it’s from traffic, aircraft or neighbours, noise reduction glass aims to reduce unwanted external noises. Creating an effective noise reduction solution involves measuring the nature and intensity of the offending sound and selecting a glass product which reduces the intensity sufficiently at all frequencies. Common solutions include thicker glass, laminated glass comprising two panes of glass with an interlayer, and double glazing laminated glass with an optional thicker inter-layer can greatly improve noise reduction and security.
Double glazing with the inclusion of laminated glass is an excellent way to reduce noise however this is the possibility that due to what is known as “Thermal Cracking” where the heat trapped between the two glass panes causes stress on the laminated glass which may cause the glass to crack. As this is a known possibility there is no warranty from the glass manufacturers. So please be mindful of this possibility with that being said, many home owners have commented, especially the light sleepers, that the element of risk is worth it.
Thicker glass make ups is better for blocking low frequency noise (Traffic noise). Laminated glass is better at blocking high frequency noise (Voice Noise). A combination of the two can be used to block a range of different noise types. Double glazing is better to reduce high frequency noise (Voices). Standard Double Glazing with at least a 12mm gap is effective at reducing high frequency noise (voice Noise).
For low frequency (Traffic noise) using a different thickness of glass in each pane or incorporating laminated glass can help to reduce noise.
For specific or high level noise issues, it is recommended to consult with an acoustics engineer for the appropriate solution. The acoustics engineer will assess the types of noise affecting you home and specify the acoustic performance requirements for all the elements of you home including the windows/doors.
SAFETY
Glass that reduces the risk of injury
The term “Safety Glass” is applied to glazing used to reduce the risk of injury, especially children from accidental impact and consequential glass breakage.
The glass is tougher to break and won’t fracture into dangerous shards if broken.
Safety glass is used extensively in homes as required by the Building Code of Australia, and typically used in door and sidelights, glass that can be mistaken as an unimpeded path of travel. Shower and bath enclosures including bathroom windows and special activity buildings, such as schools, retirement’s homes, gyms and swimming pools all are critical locations where safety glass must be considered and applied.
Laminated and toughened glass are both recognised as Grade A Safety Glass.
SECURITY
Products that are designed to resist physical and ballistic attack
Laminated glass is made by fusing 2 pieces of glass with a clear inter-layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) through the use of heat and pressure. The process creates a safety glass.
If the laminated glass breaks then the 2 sheets of glass will break into large pieces, but it will be held in the frame by the PVB inter-layer. This provides safety, but also a level of security since the glass remains in place and prevents a person or object from easily passing through.
Laminated glass also provides acoustic performance compared to ordinary glass and with an optional thicker inter-layer can improve noise reduction while greatly improving security.
Double glazing with the inclusion of laminated glass is an excellent way to increase security however unfortunately due to what is known as “thermal cracking” where the heat trapped between the two panes causes stress on the laminated glass which may cause the glass to crack.
As this is a known possibility unfortunately there is no warranty from the glass manufactures, so please be mindful of this possibility. That said many home owners have commented that the element of risk is worth it in the sense of added security and a good night’s sleep.
SELF CLEANING GLASS
The latest in glass technology helping keep glass clean
The latest in glass technology help keeps glass free from organic dirt saving time, money, water and detergents – all associated with window cleaning for the life of the window.
A two-step cleaning process where once exposed to daylight the special exterior coating on the glass reacts with the UV Rays to breakdown and disintegrate organic dirt. Secondly, when water hits the glass has a hydrophilic quality that assists in washing dirt away.
During dry spells and cloudy days will continue to break down organic dirt but the lack of sufficient rainfall may prevent the hydrophilic washing. This can be easily carried out by lightly hosing down with water.
Self-cleaning glass can be combined with other glasses such as double glazing for thermal comfort.

Pet Mesh
PVC coated, heavy gauge polyester mesh is ideal for sliding screen doors in high traffic areas and ideal for families with pets. It is not indestructible, but it is 7 times stronger than standard fibreglass mesh.
Doesn’t kink or dent like aluminium mesh and stainless steel flywire.
Aluminium
Aluminium screen mesh are ideal where extra strength is required. Can appear wavy as it won’t stretch to a tight fit. Unlike fibreglass, aluminium can kink or dent with pressure.
Stainless Steel Flymesh
The super-strength stainless steel mesh in black powder coat finish is marine grade corrosion resistant, which makes it ideal for use in coastal areas. The nature of this material means that it can appear wavy as it won’t stretch to a tight fit. Unlike fibreglass stainless steel mesh can kink or dent with pressure.
Aluscreen/Tufflite
This Aluminium screen mesh is 47% stronger than standard aluminium screen mesh.
Ideal for sliding doors in high traffic areas. Unlike fibreglass, aluminium can kink or dent with pressure.
