Lift slide doors by Solar Innovations® contain panels that rise off the track when in operation. The panels move with great ease and can be opened with one hand and closed with just the push of a finger. The door handle is the home of the lift slide technology; the gaskets are lifted when you turn the handle, which then lifts the panels and allows them to smoothly travel across the track. Once the panels are in place, you turn the handle once more, and the door locks in place.
Standard lift slide units consist of two, three, and four panel units, with a maximum panel size and weight of 440 pounds and 50 sq. ft. This system contains the best seals available on the market, so you won't have to worry about water entering at the sill or harsh winter drafts. The aluminum profiles of the lift slide system also allow these doors to provide superior thermal performance.
