Rendering
Overview
What makes the Timber Lift & Slide
stand out.
Bring the character of timber to a large patio opening. Timber Lift & Slide pairs a moving door panel with expansive fixed glazing, with a choice of timber construction or a timber interior protected by exterior aluminum cladding. I will help coordinate the door, adjacent windows and finish with your drawings.
See how aluclad compares in our aluclad vs aluminum vs wood guide.
Key Highlights
- Real timber at the room's edge.
- Sliding movement keeps the door panel alongside the glass.
- Wood or clad construction to coordinate with your windows.
Ideal For
Living spaces where the patio door is part of the interior design, not just a route outside.
Consider an Alternative When
Panel proportions, glazing weight and the installation detail must be reviewed together. Choose wood or clad construction before finalizing finishes. A floor-level fixed pane does not establish the height of the moving-door threshold.

US catalogue thermal and solar figures apply to selected door configurations. Request the applicable report for your chosen assembly.
Floor-level fixed glazing and the moving-door threshold are separate details. Flush passage depends on the selected threshold, drainage and finished floor levels.
Options for your project
Wood or clad wood
Choose exposed exterior timber or an aluminum exterior covering coordinated with the windows.
Fixed glazing
A reduced-frame fixed panel can bring the glass down to floor level using a thermally separated support profile.
Threshold and drainage
Review insulated threshold profiles, optional insulation inserts and the floor connection before setting finished floor levels.
Operating comfort
Concealed overhead guide, optional buffers or limit dampers, and a concealed drive-gear damper can be reviewed for the chosen door.
Finish and layout
Coordinate the door finish, sliding direction and fixed panels with the elevation and adjacent Clad Hidden Sash windows.
