Overview
Big glass, light touch
Lift and slide doors work differently from standard sliding doors: turning the handle lifts the panel onto its rollers so it glides effortlessly, then lowers it back onto its seals when closed for excellent weather-tightness.
This makes them ideal for very large, heavy glass panels and wide openings where a standard slider would be hard to move.
Choose insulated or laminated glass, manual or motorised operation and any RAL colour.
