ENCRAFT Tilt N Slide Doors
ENCRAFT Tilt N Slide Doors are designed to provide a combination of enhanced protection, ventilation, insulation, and large glass areas for modern homes and architectural spaces. Based on the European tilt-and-slide concept, the system allows the door sash to first tilt for ventilation and then slide smoothly along the track when a wider opening is required.
The specially designed dual compression sealing system helps improve insulation against external elements such as dust, draughts, and water, while also contributing to better sound reduction. This makes the system suitable for spaces where comfort, ventilation, and performance are equally important.
Key highlights
- Contemporary Softline Profile: A sleek and modern profile appearance designed to complement contemporary architecture.
- Dual Compression Seals: Provides effective protection against draughts, dust, and water while improving insulation.
- 10 mm Sash Overlap: Helps enhance sealing and contributes to improved overall performance.
- Wide Glazing Options: Supports glazing configurations from 4 mm single glazing up to 36 mm triple glazing.
- Advanced Hardware: Multi-point perimeter locking and heavy-duty tandem rollers are provided as standard for security and smooth operation.
- Reinforced Hardware Fixing: Hardware is securely fitted into steel reinforcements as standard, providing added strength and durability.
Frequently asked questions
uPVC insulates far better and costs less for ordinary residential openings. Thermally broken aluminium is stronger, so it carries larger panels with slimmer frames. We usually specify uPVC for bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, and aluminium for very large sliders, stairwell glazing and anything above about 2.4 metres tall.
Not if the profile is UV stabilised and lead-free, which ours are. Yellowing happens with cheap unstabilised profile or recycled material. We supply a written warranty against discolouration.
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.
Yes. We bend profile on a heated forming table from a site template, so semi-circular, segmental and elliptical heads are all possible, fixed or with an operable lower sash.

Achieving high levels of air and water tightness, dust protection, insect resistance, and sound reduction generally requires effective sealing around the complete perimeter of the door sash. However, conventional high thresholds can sometimes affect accessibility and everyday convenience. Modern fenestration therefore needs to balance performance, ergonomics, and practical living requirements.
