The slider keeps both sashes in plane, so nothing swings out over a walkway. On the 100 mm aluminum profile with laminated impact glass, it meets coastal impact requirements while staying compact.

What is a sliding window or door?

A sliding window or door runs one or more panels horizontally on a track, one gliding past the next. Because the panels stay in the plane of the wall, a slider opens a wide view and passage without sweeping into the room, which is ideal where floor space is tight. Configurations run from two panels up to multi-panel and pocketing runs that slide away into the wall.
