Passive House Lift & Slide
4th April 2017

ALUPLAST will unveil its new Lift-and-Slide Patio door at the FIT Show, which the company says achieves a first for the product type with the ability to meet Passive House standards with u-values as low as 0.65 W/m2K.

Ian Cocken, Director of Sales and Marketing, aluplast, said that the ‘heavy-weight system’ is capable of spanning openings of 6.5m X 2.8m and sashes of up to 300kg.

He said: “Ultra-low u-values also allow it to out-compete any other lift-and-slide system and capable of achieving a Passive Haus standard, it’s also going to have equal appeal with architects.”

The modular 85mm system comes in in two main options.

This includes a standard aluminium system and a premium ultra-energy efficient GRP option accommodating glazing units of up to 51mm.

In addition to GRP and foiled finishes, the Lift-and-Slide Patio is also available in aluskin, aluplast’s ‘clip-and-fix’ aluminium fascia.

The Ideal 4000 70mm PVC-U system will also be officially launched at FIT also includes the aluskin aluminium external finishing option.
