Lift-and-slide doors bring a modern slant to the traditional sliding door that has been popular for years. Safe, attractive, and convenient, they are the ideal solution for conservatories, living rooms, and dining rooms. They maximise natural light and make the transition between outdoors and indoors as seamless as possible.
As you might imagine from their name, lift-and-slide doors do what they say on the tin. They lift the door panel slightly onto the track and then slide smoothly along it. Versatile and flexible, these sliding doors can operate on a single, double, or triple track system, allowing for single, 2, 3, 4, or 6 pane configurations to suit your property’s needs perfectly.
There are numerous benefits, including:
Our bespoke aïr lift & slide aluminium range is massively versatile, combining higher performance, slim sightlines and effortless operation. 47mm, 69mm, and 83mm options are subject to panel sizes and visual preference. Standard u-values of up to 0.95 with triple glazing. A maximum panel weight of 300kg combined with sleek sightlines makes this door the perfect choice for your contemporary project!
The SL 160 from Solarlux takes these patio doors to the next level. With an ultra-impressive overall u-value of 1.1 w/m²k and a maximum panel weight of 400kg, the potential is endless! The additional thermal performance and increased structural rigidity of the door do mean it comes with a slightly wider sightline, but if you’re looking for strength and stability, then there is no better lift slide patio door.
Internorm’s lift and slide doors are available in timber/aluminium, uPVC or uPVC/aluminium. The triple glazed panels are available in sizes up to 5,800 x 2,800 mm and glide smoothly and effortlessly, despite weighing up to 400kg. They can achieve ultra-low u-values of 0.64 W/m2K, making them suitable for Passive House projects.
