Seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces.
AluminumHighlights
Experience a groundbreaking door solution designed for expansive, uninterrupted glass views. Our Lift-Slide doors elevate from their track and gasket system, allowing for effortless, gliding operation. This innovative mechanism enables smooth movement of even the largest sashes while ensuring a secure, airtight seal. Each Zola Lift-Slide door is custom-crafted to match your design and specifications, commonly featuring individual glass panels up to 8' x 10'—with even larger sizes available. Multiple large sashes can be seamlessly stacked or combined to create stunning disappearing walls (pocketing doors), including elegant post-less corner solutions for a truly open, unobstructed space.

Designed specifically for single-sash and French-opening pocketing configurations, the Alu Lift Slide A1-Vanish pocketing door system offers a sleek solution with a 1-7/8” threshold and integrated multi-point locking hardware. Engineered for expansive openings, A1-Vanish doors are available in heights up to 10' 4" and opening widths up to 20, depending on your configuration and design requirements.
The Alu Lift Slide R2-standard pocketing system (2 or 3 rail) supports expansive openings with a maximum height of 10' 4" and configurations that allow up to three sashes to pocket to the left or right. While similar in performance to the A1-Vanish, the R2-standard features a slightly taller 2-3/8” threshold to accommodate its multi-track design, along with multi-point locking hardware for added security and smooth operation.
For maximum flexibility and dramatic openings, the Alu Lift Slide R1 system (R1-standard or R1-zero, 2–8 rail) accommodates up to eight pocketing sashes, enabling vast spans and truly expansive configurations. With a maximum height of 10' 4", R1 is the ideal solution for projects seeking the pinnacle of seamless indoor-outdoor transitions and the visual impact of disappearing glass walls.
