Lift Sliding System
Lift & Slide Systems use a handle-operated mechanism to lift heavy sliding sashes away from the seals and allow smoother movement on the track. They are commonly considered for large terrace or balcony openings.

ContinueHow Does Lift & Slide Hardware Work?
Handle operation lifts the sash onto its running gear; closing lowers it back into the sealing and locking position.
Weight and Capacity
Manufacturer families include different nominal capacity classes, including 150 kg and 300 kg solutions. Final selection must be based on the real sash/profile/glass weight and the technical limits of the exact system.
Rails, Thresholds and Sealing
Track alignment, load distribution, threshold geometry and drainage affect performance. Correct locking and gasket compression are also important when the sash is lowered into the closed position.

Tilt & Slide vs Lift & Slide
Tilt & Slide Systems can combine sliding with a tilt-ventilation function, while lift & slide focuses on moving large, heavy sashes by lifting them onto the running gear.
