Sliding and lift and slide doors
Five large-format systems with low thresholds and concealed hardware, glazed up to 48 mm.
Lift and slide or sliding?
On a lift and slide, turning the handle lifts the panel off its seals onto rollers. It glides with very little effort, even at full size, and lowering the handle sets it back down on the seals and locks it.
A sliding door seals as it closes, with no lift. It costs less and suits everyday patio doors. All five systems are shown below with their largest sizes. Two-panel means one sliding and one fixed panel; four-panel means two sliding panels meeting in the center.
Lift & Slide 190
For the widest openings. A carriage housing keeps very large panels running true, and the four-panel layout spans up to 32 ft.
