Large Openings, Minimal Support
ENCRAFT Lift & Slide Door systems are engineered specifically for large and heavy door panels, combining impressive opening sizes with smooth and effortless operation. The precision-designed carriage mechanism lifts the door panels away from the track, significantly reducing the operating force and allowing the panels to move with a light, fingertip action.
The system supports multiple panel configurations, allowing the door layout to be customised according to the available space and architectural requirements. A flush and universally designed sill option also helps create a smooth and visually unobtrusive transition between indoor and outdoor areas.
With its combination of large glazed panels, refined aesthetics, and easy operation, the ENCRAFT Lift & Slide system provides an elegant way to create a strong connection between interior spaces and the outdoors.

An acoustic laminated inner pane inside a double-glazed unit, with the two panes at different thicknesses and a wide cavity. Just as important, choose a casement or tilt-and-turn window rather than a slider, because the sash needs to compress onto its gaskets to seal.
