Why lift and slide? When you’re choosing to have feature glazing – that gorgeous wall of glass – your view will be interrupted by the vertical frame that marks the edge of each pane. If you reduce the number of panes, your view is better. One of the benefits of a sliding door is that each pane can be larger than on a bifolding door. It’s simply a matter of weight and glass can be surprisingly heavy. Lift and slide patio doors A well-designed sliding patio door can be a thing of beauty. The proportions are just right, and the frame doesn’t dominate. The panes glide smoothly along their tracks, but when closed, the doors are reassuringly secure. The wind can howl but there’s no trace of a draught and you can stand indoors on a frosty morning without feeling the chill. That’s what happens with Stellar. The streamlined style hides engineering that makes these sliding doors safe, easy to open and easy to secure. It’s packed with technology that insulates your home. Its weatherseals are effective and long-lasting. Thresholds When you’re choosing a door designed to make getting outside as easy as possible, you don’t want to be stepping over a huge frame. Equally you need to be sure your home is protected from the weather. Stellar has various options for thresholds, which balance easy access with features designed to prevent leaks and draughts. Some threshold systems are set into the floor, providing an almost seamless transition. Others are designed to offer easy access for wheelchairs, and for very exposed locations there are deeper threshold options developed to channel water away from your home. Hardware is a crucial part of any sliding door, and Stellar’s Lift and Slide patios boast some of the very best with four locking points on the gearing. ‘Lift’ simply means that there’s a built-in system designed to take some of the weight when you’re opening the panes. It makes them glide more freely along their tracks. Stellar has very slim frames anyway but they excel in a lift and slide patio design.
