New Lift and Slide
30th May 2017

ALUPLAST unveiled its new Lift-and-Slide Patio door at FIT 2017.

Capable of spanning openings of 6.5m X 2.8m, the modular 85mm system can accommodate glazing units of up to 51mm to deliver u-values as low as 0.65 W/m2K, meeting Passive Haus standards – a claimed first for the product type. It is also said to deliver manufacturing time efficiencies of up to 40% over comparable systems.

Ian Cocken, Director of Sales and Marketing, said: “The lift-and-slide mechanism, the u-values that this door can deliver, the flush threshold, it’s weather performance, combined with an exceptional aesthetic, including the aluskin aluminium option, gives the Lift-and-Slide incredible reach.

“The Lift-and-Slide can be manufactured highly efficiently. As a modular system, stock holding is kept to a minimum, while it can also be sold as either a standard or with a foiled or aluminium external finish.”

aluskin is is aluplast’s external aluminium facing technology. It uses a ‘click-and-fix’ system to allow PVC-U fabricators to manufacture an aluminium-clad PVC-U casement window without the requirement for specialist equipment – opening-up access to new market sectors.As well as the Lift-and-Slide door, aluskin is also available on aluplast’s new Ideal 4000 casement window, which also showcased for the first time at this year’s expo.
