Lift & Slide Doors and Windows
Gear that lifts the leaf clear of its seals before it moves, so panels weighing hundreds of kilos glide with one hand — and seal tight when you set them down.
Move Glass, Not Walls
Lift and slide gear takes the weight off the seals, so very large panels glide with one hand.
Classic Lift & Slide
The leaf lifts clear of its seals before it moves, then drops back down to compress them again when closed. Smooth to operate, tight when shut.
Panoramic Corner Openings
Two runs of glazing meeting at an open corner, with no post in the way when the doors are pulled back.
Slim-Line Frames
Narrow sightlines that maximise glass area, for openings where the view is the point.
Thermal Break Profiles
A polyamide barrier through the frame separates inside from outside, so the aluminium does not conduct heat straight through.
Motorised Operation
Motorised leaves for very large or very heavy panels, operated from a wall switch or remote.
Flush Floor Track
A recessed track that sits level with the finished floor, removing the trip step between inside and terrace.
Why Lift & Slide?
The system that makes very large openings practical to live with.
Effortless with Large Panels
Because the gear lifts the leaf off its gaskets before it rolls, panels weighing several hundred kilos move with light hand pressure.
Weather and Air Tightness
When the handle is turned down, the leaf settles onto continuous seals on all four sides — a far better closure than a conventional slider achieves.
Thermal Performance
Thermal break profiles combined with double or triple glazing keep large glazed areas from becoming a heat problem in summer.
Security
Multi-point locking engages around the perimeter of the leaf, and laminated glass options are available where the opening is exposed.
Sized, Not Just Ordered
A lift and slide opening only works if the structure above it, the track below it and the gear inside it are matched to the actual panel weight. We calculate that before quoting, not after installing.
We survey the opening, confirm the head detail and specify glass, gear and track together as one system.
- Panel weight calculated before specification
- Thermal break aluminium profiles
- Stainless steel running gear
- Multi-point perimeter locking
- Flush or upstand track options
- Integrated insect screen option
