Close, tilt, open – parallel slide-and-tilt doors offer a comparatively wide range of opening options, making them one of the most flexible choices for garden or balcony use. While the tilt function is naturally inspired by windows, the much heavier sashes of these doors require special fittings to ensure both smooth sliding and secure tilting. Models from windows24.com rely on high-quality craftsmanship from Siegenia to achieve this.
Glass is heavy – and when set in wooden frames or uPVC profiles with steel reinforcements, it becomes even heavier. It is therefore no surprise that the sash elements of parallel slide-and-tilt doors demand exceptional structural integrity. When tilted, the weight of the door must be borne by the shears; when fully opened, by the entire fitting. Even in the closed position, the running gear must securely support the sash while ensuring that the seals between frame and sash are held tightly in place. For this reason, all hardware components of the slide-and-tilt doors must be especially robust to reliably perform their function under significant load:
Once the sash is fitted with laminated safety glass, additional measures can be applied to the fittings to enhance break-in protection. As with conventional sliding and tilt-and-slide doors, this is particularly effective through the use of robust steel strike plates for the lock and additional security provided by mushroom-head locking bolts on the sash.
While the visual enhancement of metal elements has little impact on the exterior façade, it can create striking accents within the interior.
Parallel slide-and-tilt doors are typically installed to open inwards: when the turning-handle mechanism is operated, the sash tilts inward and ultimately lifts out of the frame in the same direction. This design is driven by security considerations, ensuring that intruders cannot access the fittings from the outside.
Thanks to the countless design options for wood, uPVC, and aluminium frames – from the full spectrum of RAL colours to wood-finish films – you can opt to highlight the fittings through contrasting colours or keep them deliberately understated.
With high-quality Siegnia fittings, additional break-in protection options, and a carefully selected range of colours, the hardware for parallel slide-and-tilt doors from windows24.com is not only highly practical but also enhances the interior design of your home.
