Compared to traditional sliding doors which need to be pushed across tracks, lift and slide systems feature a rotating handle which lifts and lowers the door's moveable sash, allowing it to be effortlessly and securely slide along rollers built into the toughened frame. With doors lowered firmly back into place so that their full weight is supported and snugly fixed, lift and slide systems provide an impressive airtight opening which reduces draughts and the wear on seals.
The great functionality provided by a lift and slide mechanism does not, however, lead to compromises in terms of door design. As with other sliding doors, they provide a great space-saving elegant glass front which floods interiors with natural light and creates a beautiful transition out onto patios and gardens alike. Zero-threshold accessible options are also available so please get in touch with our expert team if you would like to explore this further.
Whether used in bifold doors, windows or French doors, uPVC is a highly practical modern material which gives doors excellent properties. Purchasing a uPVC patio door ensures excellent thermal insulation, for example, as multi-chamber profiles reduce the transfer of undesired incoming or escaping heat to maintain a stable interior temperature. This energy-efficiency can also lead to savings on utility bill costs. A further advantage of uPVC patio doors is then also that they require little to no maintenance; a little water and detergent is all that is needed to remove any build-up of dirt on the smooth anti-rust surface.
The material used to frame glass patio doors plays an important role in defining their properties. If you are after a different design or functionality than that of uPVC, at windows24.com patio doors are also available in aluminium and wood or with exterior cladding. Just head to the configurator to learn more and compare the options.
Another key element which can impact a patio door's properties is the glass used in its generous window panels. For this reason, our uPVC patio doors are available with standard double glazing as well as thermally superior triple glazing. The three panes of thick glass in a triple-glazed panel, for example, help to reduce heat loss and therefore lower u-values, which define the amount of heat lost each hour per square metre. Whether triple or double-glazed, an invisible thin low-e coating made from metal oxide can also be applied to a patio door window panel's surface to increase thermal efficiency. This is particularly ideal for warm and sunny climates as the coating reflects unwanted solar UV and infra-red radiation.
Although sliding patio glass doors with their large transparent surfaces may seem vulnerable to break-ins, at windows24.com there are many additional features available which have them become highly secure openings. Sliding door glass window panels can be reinforced with an extra pane of toughened laminated safety glass, for example, which features a strong built-in foil. In the event of breakage from high force, broken glass then remains held in place, as does the film which requires further effort and specialist tools to tear. Beyond glazing options, sliding patio doors can also be additionally secured by choosing a multi-point hinge locking system in the configurator. Automatic soft close locking systems are also available, as are robust roller shutters for exteriors.
At windows24.com, door prices depend on several factors including the product type, material, and selected add-ons. A bi-fold front, for example, is more expensive than a smaller French door while timber tends to be more affordable than premium aluminium. In terms of patio doors with a sliding lift mechanism, energy-efficient uPVC is our most cost-effective material and in its most basic configuration, a white uPVC door can be purchased from €2,761, for example. Modifications then made in the configurator which impact the price are shown live in the clearly displayed cost calculator.
Thanks to their sleek low-maintenance surfaces, uPVC windows and doors can be coated in a durable coloured film which remains vibrant for years. Whether classic anthracite grey, a special metallic textured tone, or a golden oak decor, a wide range of options are available to ensure sliding patio doors can blend in beautifully with many different home façades.
