‘Lift-and-Slide’ patio doors are the ideal solution for rooms requiring a lot of sunlight or for buildings situated in panoramic areas where large glass windows enable you to enjoy a complete view of the landscape. Moreover they offer maximum accessibility to the outside.
Another advantage of the ‘Lift and Slide System’ is that it requires very little space, useful where the installation of conventional swing open doors and windows would not be possible or would be obtrusive.
The aesthetic appearance of the door is pleasing and always in harmony with the architectural requirements of the building. The system is very flexible and allows the customer to close very wide openings by installing a series of multiple ‘Lift and Slide’ doors.
The size of the framing and the need for safe and silent movement of the sliding doors requires hardware of adequate resistance and precision. The AGB lift and slide hardware systems satisfy every possible requirement. Assemblies with one or more moveable doors can be installed with no limit in number.
The following patterns show the most common arrangements.
