Open the back of the house to the garden

Lift-and-slide doors with slim frames and wide panes — more daylight, less wall, and insulation that holds up in winter.

Daylight where the wall used to be

Replacing a back wall or an old set of French doors with a sliding system changes how the whole ground floor feels. The glass line runs from wall to wall, the frames step out of the way, and the garden reads as part of the room.

The engineering matters here more than anywhere else: large panes are heavy, so the running gear, the thermal break and the threshold detail are what decide whether it still slides easily and stays warm in ten years.

  • Much more daylight

    Slim profiles put glass where the frame used to be, in rooms that usually need it most.

  • Moves with one hand

    Lift-and-slide gear carries the weight, so even a wide pane runs smoothly.

  • Warm underfoot

    Thermally broken profiles and an insulated threshold keep the cold line outside.

  • Level threshold possible

    A flush threshold where the structure allows it — easier with a pushchair or a wheelchair.

Options

  • System

    Lift-and-slide for large panes, or a slide-and-turn where the opening is narrower.

  • Panel layout

    Two, three or four panels, sliding one way or meeting in the middle.

  • Glazing

    HR++ or triple, with solar control glass on south-facing elevations.

  • Threshold

    Standard or flush, detailed with the drainage the position needs.

  • Security

    Multi-point locking and laminated glass to resist forced entry.

  • Insect screens

    Sliding or pleated screens integrated into the frame from the start.
