Photos are illustrative and not necessarily this exact system.
Ordinary sliding doors stay on their rollers all the time, so their seals are brushes that the panel rubs past. A lift-and-slide door is different. Turn the handle and the panel lifts onto rollers and glides; turn it back and the panel drops onto its gaskets and locks. You get big moving glass and a real seal.
Which lift-and-slide systems can we supply?
- uPVC lift-and-slide: matches our uPVC windows, with a nearly flush floor transition.
- Aluminum lift-and-slide (MB-77HS family): panels up to about 10′7″ tall and 10′9″ wide, up to 600 kg; narrow meeting stile; low or flush threshold; 2- or 3-track frames; matches MB-86 windows.
- Wood / wood-aluminum lift-and-slide (Synergic): frameless fixed glazing, flush floor frame, panels up to about 3.6 m tall and 300 kg.
Lift, slide, drop. That drop is the seal you don't get on a normal slider.
Thresholds and drainage in our rain
A flush threshold looks great and needs careful drainage design. We'll detail drainage, slab recess and deck height with your builder.
Are lift-and-slide doors hard to operate?
The lift mechanism carries the weight; large panels move with one hand.
How big can they be?
Depends on system; see above.
How long does it take to get one?
About 3–4 months. Each door is made to order and shipped by sea freight.
What's the warranty?
20-year limited manufacturer warranty and 3-year installation warranty. See warranty terms for details.
Are they NFRC certified?
NFRC rating: ask us for current status for your project.
