Lift & Slide Patio Doors In Slough & Berkshire
Visually, you would do very well to differentiate between inline sliding patio doors and lift and slide patio doors. That’s because, except for the opening feature, they are the same. Just like standard patio doors, lift and slide patio doors are a space-saving alternative to French doors and bi-folding doors as they slide on a rail rather than open inwards or outwards. New Look Double Glazing’s lift and slide doors possess all the excellent security, weather-resistant and energy efficiency qualities as all our other doors. Lift and slide patio doors do not come as cheap as the standard alternative but have some features which justify the price. For instance, lift and slide doors can be locked in any position along the door track by simply turning the handle in the opposite direction. This feature is not found in most standard sliding patio doors and gives you complete control of ventilation. Although inline sliding patio doors can be kept open, there is always a risk of them closing suddenly which can compromise safety as the door is not locked onto the rail. By opting for lift and slide you can keep these doors open as much or as little as you want without any worries.

We have designed our lift and slide patio doors with security at the forefront of our minds. All our lift and slide patio doors are secured with advanced multi-point locks as well as Yale cylinder locks. This lock is resistant to picking, bumping, and drilling and is specially designed to prevent burglaries. These doors are also fitted with an anti-lift device which prevents the door from being lifted out of place. The featured glass has been toughened and is much tougher than standard glass to prevent forced entry.
Thermally efficient
Lift and slide patio doors are a perfect match for summer settings, allowing sunlight to beam into your property during the day and the cool summer breeze to steam in during the evening. However, we have designed our patio doors to also withstand the harshest of winter weathers. All our door frames are tightly sealed which prevents draughts from entering your property and keeps the heat in. Our A-rated double glazing is one step we have taken to keep the bad weather out and the heat in. This will effectively help you in saving on your heating bills as well as keeping your property warm during even the coldest winter days. The large panes of glass in patio doors also helps to save on energy bills as a large amount of natural sunlight coming into your property allows you to keep the lights off.
