The Latest Solution in Patio Doors
Until now, when creating indoor outdoor living areas, options have been limited to regular folding or multi-slide doors that stack and sit inside the opening; options that often involve compromising floor layout design.
Perfect for large patio door or window openings, our vertically opening, counter-balanced systems offer a preferred option for your home or business by opening upward and completely out of the way. Put your furniture where you want and open your business for additional seating. There are no more compromises.
Style Meets Function. An Architect's Dream
Windows
Use for oversize openings including kitchen pass-throughs, over seating benches, countertop areas or create indoor balconies in your own living room.
Doors
A preferred option to traditional large door systems to open up primary living rooms, large deck areas, patios, balconies and pool houses.
More Than a Pretty Face
No more need for cold, old school tube steel. It’s taken three generations of design but there’s a new kid on the block and it has all the architectural features found in contemporary, high performing doors and windows.
Designed and engineered specifically for vertically operating systems, a minimal 2 inch, thermally enhanced aluminum sash profile, sets a new standard for patio doors.
Watch Your Step…Not!
When it comes to blending the inside to the outdoors, there’s no more important feature than the threshold. Unlike traditional Multi-slide and Folding Door Systems, vertically operating systems do not require a bottom track. This allows a 100% seamless transition and unimpeded walk through: the holy grail of indoor outdoor living.
Opt to include a minimal slot drain, a small continuous gap set just inside the bottom door seal across the width of the opening, that collects water into a subsill underneath the flooring to drain away.
For openings that are more exposed to the elements, stop water infiltration with a weather resistant sill. .
