A lift-and-slide door made of uPVC is a real all-rounder when it comes to thermal efficiency. The combination of an extra-tight closing mechanism and a multi-chamber profile ensures excellent insulation. In addition, uPVC offers the possibility of configuring your lift-and-slide door in any desired colour – and at an attractive price. With the right glazing, you can thus save noticeably on energy costs in the long term.

Buying doors and windows is always a question of taste, but also of choosing the right functions. This is no different for sliding patio doors. Carefully weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the materials available already helps in the decision-making process. Once the decision in favour of a lift-and-slide door has been made, the question of installation arises. If you don't want to hire a professional fitter and want to do it yourself as an amateur, you can benefit from the detailed instructions and videos available here, which document the installation and adjustment of the doors.
All sliding doors are generally constructed in the same way. It is only when it comes to details that differences arise that make a well-considered choice necessary – and this is also the case with lift-and-slide doors. Running or guide rails are fitted in the upper and lower sections of the doors.
This usually makes it necessary to step over the threshold. This can, however, also be avoided with the right model: a barrier-free threshold eliminates the risk of tripping when crossing the threshold and additionally simplifies the use of a sliding patio door.
Similar to uPVC windows, uPVC patio doors have a frame and a sash. The frame is the part that is firmly anchored to the wall, while the sash is the part filled with glass that can be opened and closed. The question of the right glazing now arises. You can choose between:
This is where the special requirements for a sliding door become important.
Does the door have to be designed for thermal insulation, security or sound insulation? Or should the glazing cover more artistic requirements? Every glazing has certain basic values that cover all the areas mentioned.
The right solution for every area
If products are specially adapted to a certain purpose, they can optimise the performance in the respective category. The unique properties of the sliding door are perfect for targeting the area of thermal insulation.
In combination with the frame material, a uPVC patio door achieves values that are even suitable for low-energy and passive houses. windows24.com offers uPVC sliding doors with the latest technology at favourable prices.
uPVC has become increasingly important in window construction in recent years. This is because the material not only impresses with its good thermal insulation and diverse design options but also with its cost-effective properties. You can get a uPVC sliding door from us for as little as €2,761. The desired size of the door and the number of sashes are a major influence on the total price.
In order to perfectly match your new patio door to your house, you have the option of customising it in the configurator. If a classic white uPVC door doesn't fit the design of your home, you can choose anthracite grey or another colour from a wide range of standard colours. Additionally, you can opt for elegant wood-look decors, such as Mahogany and Golden Oak. Thanks to a film coating in Cool Colours technology, both the colours and the decors are weather-resistant and extremely long-lasting.
For a long time, one of the biggest objections to the use of uPVC was the instability of the colour application. Thanks to modern foiling techniques, however, you no longer have to fear any limitations on this point from natural light. The films fuse firmly with the surface, thus permanently retaining their colour brilliance and are even UV-resistant. In addition, we use the so-called Cool Colours technology, which prevents dark colours such as anthracite grey from causing the profile to heat up more. This also increases the service life of your sliding door.
Both tilt-and-slide and lift-and-slide doors are sliding doors. The most important difference between the two systems is the type of floor threshold, which can only be installed barrier-free in lift-and-slide doors. For this, you have to do without the tilt function, which tilt-and-slide doors have as standard. To open, the movable sash of the lift-and-slide door is pushed over rails with rollers without much effort. The space-saving opening allows for a comfortable exit onto your patio and barrier-free access.
Lift-and-slide doors have the advantage that they allow very large glass surfaces through which a lot of light can enter the living space. Other than bifold or simple French doors, sliding patio doors can be operated with ease even with large sashes. With us, you can select up to four door leaves to achieve a maximum total width of 6700 mm. The division of the elements is then done individually and also influences the design.
