The lift and slide door - a dream for a great view

Would you like to enjoy your conservatory and the view without disturbance and simply let nature in if necessary? A lift and slide door offers you the option of moving wide glass surfaces to the left and right (depending on installation) and thus generating maximum freedom of view. The flexibility of the individually movable elements ensures that you can even let the summer into your home if you wish.

This makes it particularly easy to take the balcony table outside or bring the large flower pots indoors in winter. Thanks to innovative guide slides, you can easily open and close the glass door in lift and slide mode.

The tilt and slide door - solid construction for outdoor use

Which sliding glass door is right for you always depends on your own requirements. Large glass fronts are not uncommon in modern architecture, especially when it comes to patio design. Parallel tilt and slide doors are not only produced from glass, but also in combination with PVC-U, wood or aluminum. An optimum profile is required to maintain the thermal insulation of the door.

The advantage is that the solid frame ensures that the door remains in place even after a long period of time. The disadvantage is that optimum accessibility cannot be achieved due to the design. It is also necessary to keep some parts of the interior free for the tilt and slide function. However, this is also an advantage, as you can either slide or tilt the door as you wish.

The classic tilt and turn balcony door - it has gone out of fashion

Standard balcony and patio doors can be opened like windows and were installed in almost all houses in the 1980s and 1990s. They are predestined for narrow openings in masonry and their height optimizes the entry of sunlight. Thanks to a wide selection of profile materials, there are already visual customization options today. Nevertheless, this type of door is slowly becoming obsolete, as wide glass fronts are becoming increasingly popular.

However, there are still advantages to the standard. On the one hand, even narrow openings in the wall can be bridged and a way out can be created. On the other hand, tilt and turn doors are particularly inexpensive and are also available on a small budget. The biggest disadvantages, however, are the security risks (burglars like to pry open doors like these) and the narrow opening width. You are denied a view of the garden from the conservatory because you quickly have the frame in front of your face.

Conclusion: wide glass fronts are in vogue

It has indeed been proven that glass doors and modern fronts are on trend. The trend is moving further and further away from the standard and towards completely new approaches. A highlight that will especially please the nature lovers among you. Because a wide glass patio door offers completely different visual possibilities than the previous standard.
