Triple glazed lift & slide doors

Our lift and slide doors are an excellent solution for large openings. Typically designed to have 2 sections with one sliding and one fixed. Our sliding section is to the inside which has multiple benefits. It means the door can slide fully behind the fixed unit as the handle is not in the way, this creates a great aesthetic when fully opened. This also means that the track in which the door slides is on the inside, so is not exposed to the weather and possible build up of dirt and debris which can affect the seals and functionality of a sliding door.

Despite the hefty weight of a sliding door it can be easily slid with very little force due to the lift and slide system, please see one of our videos or try it for yourself in one of our showrooms.

Features of our lift & slide door

Part M compliant

Our sliding doors come with a thermally broken part M compliant threshold as standard. Meeting the requirements for wheelchair access. We have the option to add extension sections or can remove the levelling profile if you require a stepped threshold.

Weather exposure

All of our products are third party tested to the highest levels of exposure.

Triple glazed as standard

All of our products use triple glazed units with swiss spacer ultimate warm edge glazing spacers, argon filled cavities and lowE coatings.

Consistent design across all sizes

Our windows are available in all traditional shapes and sizes, ensuring uniformity throughout your project.

Matching window ranges

All of our doors and windows are available in matching suites.

Technical data

Frame sections available in all formats, PDF, DWG and Revit. Backed up with PHPP ready data

Secured by Design (SBD)

When it comes to security we go above and beyond. All ranges are tested to the SBD standard which uses live police data to combat against the latest break in trends.

Soft close function

On request we can provide a soft close function to the sliding door.

Slim central mullion maximising light

GBS78-A and GBS98-A AluClad Timber have a slim 66mm central mullion. GBS78 and GBS98 timber doors have a slim 80mm central mullion. Ensuring the best aesthetic whilst maintaining structural stability, weather tightness and high security hardware.

Door thresholds

We have options available when it comes to the door threshold. As standard we supply our thermally broken part M compliant threshold which needs to be sunk below the floor finishes to create a flush threshold. We have the option to remove the levelling profile which can then create a stepped threshold. We also have 3 extension sections which can be used to link the threshold to a drain or exterior surface.

FAQs

  • Approved Document Q of the Building Regulations for England became mandatory for all new dwellings on 1 October 2016. This means that windows and doors in new dwellings, where Part Q is applicable, will need to be security tested to PAS 24, or equivalent standard.

  • Either a window or doorway, any part of which is within 2m vertically of an accessible level surface such as the ground or basement level, or an access balcony, or a window within 2m vertically of a flat or sloping roof (with a pitch of less than 30°) that is within 3.5m of ground level.

  • 21 Degrees windows & doors are all made from timber. Our ranges are made from FSC® certified Redwood. Modern timber finishes are now so durable that, for most applications, we recommend them over aluminium cladding or UPVC.

  • U-Values measure how well heat is transferred by the entire window/ door – the frame, sash and glass – either into or out of the building.  The lower the U-Value number, the better the window or door will keep heat inside a building on a cold day.
