LiftSlide Doors

Highlights

A revolutionary door solution for wide uninterrupted glass expanses, LiftSlide doors lift out of their track and gasket system to glide effortlessly open or closed. This function makes very large moving sashes feasible and ensures a very tight seal when sashes are lowered and locked.

Overview

Zola’s LiftSlides are custom made to fit your design and needs, and are commonly built with individual glass pieces of 8’ x 10’, with larger ones available. Several large pieces can combine to create a sliding wall that can open around corners and even stash into a wall if desired.

High performance seals
Multipoint locking hardware

Standard vs. OpenView™

As shown below, our standard LiftSlide doors feature 5.5″ wide frames on both the moving element and the fixed element of the door. Our LiftSlide OpenView™ option (available in Clad Wood) dramatically reduces frame width. The moving element of OpenView doors has a 3.5″ wide frame while the fixed element’s frame disappears completely. Operate the slider below to view the difference.
