Lift & Slide Door System

Engineering Precision

Heavy-Duty Thermal Break Aluminium Lift & Slide Systems

Meric Window Systems Co., Ltd. manufactures enterprise-grade Lift & Slide door systems specifically designed for oversized architectural openings, coastal villas, luxury resorts, and high-wind elevations. By combining internal mechanical lifting gear with compression gasket technology, our systems offer effortless manual operation alongside class-leading weather tightness.

Compressive Weather Seal

Lowers the panel to compress multi-layer EPDM gaskets, eliminating air infiltration and water leaks under severe storm pressure.

Large Panel Capacity

Heavy-duty stainless steel bogies and precision tracks smoothly support glass panels weighing up to 400 kg each.

Thermal Break Insulation

Extruded 6063-T5 aluminium profiles integrated with polyamide PA66 strips minimize U-values for climate control efficiency.

Flush & Barrier-Free Sills

Architectural recessed track solutions provide seamless indoor-outdoor transitions without compromising drainage.

Key Advantages

Why Architects & Contractors Specify Meric Lift & Slide Systems

Built to resolve the common dilemma between expansive structural glass panels and strict energy efficiency codes.

Frictionless Operation with Total Sealing

Unlike traditional sliding doors that drag rubber seals across the track during movement, our lift-and-slide mechanism physically elevates the sash off the frame during operation. Turning the ergonomic handle lifts the door onto stainless steel rollers, allowing even 400 kg panels to glide effortlessly with one hand. When closed, the handle lowers the door, compressing heavy EPDM gaskets against the frame to seal completely against wind and driving rain.

  • Eliminates seal wear for long-term durability
  • Smooth glide operation suitable for large glass spans
  • Double-compression locking for optimal acoustic isolation (up to 42 dB)

Customizable Thresholds & Interlock Sightlines

Meric Window Systems Co., Ltd. provides modular track configurations adapted to site drainage needs and aesthetic goals. Choose from ultra-narrow vertical interlocks (down to 35mm visible sightline) for maximum glass transparency, or high-performance stepped sills with hidden sub-drainage channels for extreme weather zones.

  • Flush sill options for zero-step interior to patio access
  • Reinforced structural mullions for tall elevations
  • Multi-track options (2-track, 3-track, pocket sliding options)

B2B Buyer FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential technical details for architects, trade importers, and general contractors selecting lift & slide doors.

A lift & slide door system uses a mechanical gear mechanism activated by the handle to lift the door panel off its seals onto stainless steel rollers before sliding. When locked, the panel lowers onto heavy-duty EPDM gasket seals, creating superior air, water, and sound tightness compared to conventional brush-sealed sliding doors.

Meric Window Systems Co., Ltd. manufactures lift & slide door systems accommodating individual sash weights up to 400 kg and panel widths up to 3.2 meters with heights up to 3.5 meters. Profiles are structurally calculated to support double or triple insulated glass units up to 44 mm thickness.

Yes. Extruded from high-tensile 6063-T5 aluminium alloy with reinforced structural mullions and compression gasket sealing, Meric Window lift & slide systems are engineered to withstand wind loads exceeding 3000 Pa and driving rain penetration.

Yes, we offer flush track configurations and low-profile recessed drain tracks designed for seamless transition between interior floors and exterior patios, meeting architectural accessibility requirements while maintaining efficient drainage.
