How Timber Lift-and-Slide Doors Work

Turning the handle lifts the door panel a few millimetres off its seals and onto precision rollers. Panels weighing hundreds of kilograms glide with minimal effort. When closed, the panel drops back onto its seals for a complete thermal and acoustic seal.

The system achieves Uw 0.78 W/m²K thermal performance, 32 dB sound reduction, and EI-30/45/60 certified fire resistance. Sliding doors are built on two profile depths: ECO 92 (92 mm) - our recommended standard providing structural rigidity for large sliding panels - and ECO 68 (68 mm) for smaller openings or renovation projects. Both accommodate triple-glazed units with optimal cavity spacing.

Hardware is by GU (Gretsch-Unitas, Germany) with pull-handle operation, available in six finish colours. Unlike tilt and turn windows, sliding doors do not swing inward, preserving floor space next to the opening.

Two Profile Options: ECO 68 + ECO 92

ECO 92 (92 mm) is our recommended standard - 92 mm depth provides the structural strength needed for large, heavy sliding panels. Triple-glazed units deliver Uw 0.78 W/m²K. ECO 68 (68 mm) is available for smaller openings or budget projects. Same profile family used across our entire window range.

Why Choose Timber Sliding Doors?

vs Aluminium: Timber is a natural insulator. Even with thermal breaks, aluminium sliding doors cannot match the Uw values of timber-core profiles. Our ECO 92 timber doors achieve Uw 0.78 where comparable aluminium systems typically reach 1.2 to 1.6.

vs uPVC: uPVC sliding doors lack the structural rigidity for very large panels. Timber's natural strength allows wider spans without additional reinforcement, and the 60-year lifespan exceeds uPVC by a factor of two.

For homeowners who want the warmth of real wood inside and for architects specifying to energy standards, timber lift-and-slide doors deliver both performance and aesthetics. Add optional aluminium cladding for zero exterior maintenance.

Ideal For

Living rooms: seamless indoor-outdoor connection

Lake and garden properties: maximise the view

Passive House projects: meets energy performance targets

Accessible design: low-threshold option for barrier-free access

Frequently Asked Questions

Are timber sliding doors cheaper than aluminium?

Timber sliding doors are typically priced comparably to high-end aluminium systems. However, timber delivers better thermal insulation (Uw 0.78 vs 1.2+ for aluminium), which reduces heating costs over the door's 60-year lifespan. With optional alu-clad exterior, maintenance costs match aluminium while retaining timber's thermal advantage.

How long do timber sliding doors last?

Our timber sliding doors have an expected lifespan of 60 years. The engineered laminated timber construction resists warping and splitting. With proper maintenance (or aluminium cladding for zero maintenance), the frame and mechanism will outlast most alternatives. GU hardware is designed for decades of daily operation.

What is a lift-and-slide mechanism?

A lift-and-slide mechanism uses the door handle to lift the panel a few millimetres off its seals and onto precision rollers. This allows even very heavy panels to glide with minimal effort. When closed, the panel drops back onto its seals, creating a complete thermal and acoustic barrier. This is different from inline sliding, which drags on the track.

Which profile should I choose: ECO 68 or ECO 92?

Both profile systems are available for our lift-and-slide timber doors. ECO 92 (92 mm) is recommended for large glazed panels - its structural rigidity handles the weight of oversized units and delivers Uw 0.78 W/m²K. ECO 68 (68 mm) is the right choice for smaller openings, renovation projects, or budget-conscious specifications. Contact us with your project dimensions for the best recommendation.

What type of sliding patio door is best?

For thermal performance and longevity, timber lift-and-slide doors are the top choice. They outperform aluminium on insulation and uPVC on structural rigidity. ECO 92 (recommended) achieves Uw 0.78 W/m2K, with 32 dB sound reduction and EI-30/45/60 fire resistance. ECO 68 also available for smaller openings. For projects prioritising energy efficiency and natural materials, timber is the clear winner.

Can I add aluminium cladding to sliding doors?

Yes. Exterior aluminium cladding is available in any RAL colour. This gives you timber's thermal performance inside with zero-maintenance aluminium outside. Four standard finishes are in stock: White, Aluminium, Brown, and Bronze.

How wide can timber sliding doors be?

2-panel configurations cover standard openings. 3-panel configurations allow wider spans with combinations of openable and fixed panels. Contact us with your dimensions for a tailored solution. The ECO 92 profile's structural rigidity supports large panel sizes without compromising performance. Request a quote with your project details.
