Wheels
Wheels inside the sash are retracted when the door is closed. When it’s opened, they come out to meet the bottom track, which causes the sash to lift so it can be slid.
Transform your living space with more natural light and large openings. Our stunning lift and slide doors are bold, beautiful and come equipped with durable fittings. Thanks to premium design and excellent energy performance, they add style, flexibility and security to any property while emphasising a connection with the outside. Because we specialise in tailored products that meet specific architectural and performance needs, a wide choice of frame materials, custom sizes, colours, and glazing can be selected from. Just read on to find out more.
The Lift and Slide Function Explained
- Closed
When the handle points upwards, the door is closed. All quality pins are secured within the durable locking plates and the wheels are retracted inside the sash. - Lifts and opens
Once the handle is turned down by 180 °, the operable sash is effortlessly lifted so that the wheels sit on the track and it can be slid across, over the fixed panel. A generous opening is created and the interior can be well aired.
The Key Benefits of a Lift and Slide Door
- Smooth & simple usability: With a turn of the handle a lift and slide door’s sash can be easily slid open regardless of its weight. Additional fittings are then additionally in place to ensure only the softest of closures is possible.
- Option to have a barrier-free threshold: Customers can choose between an inclined or flat threshold for a lift slide patio door. A flat threshold makes for comfortable living and can create an accessible entry for wheelchair users.
- Space-saving solution for a large opening : Because a lift slide door’s operable sash opens by sliding over its fixed panel, there is very little difference in the amount of space taken up in the interior when the door is closed compared to when it’s open.
- Tailorable thermal & sound insulation: Our patio products’ glazing can be adapted during manufacturing to meet specific energy efficiency requirements and desired levels of noise protection.
- Superior security possibilities Patio doors from Neuffer come with good standard security, which can be enhanced if a higher number of locking points are selected or laminated safety glass is used.

Find the Right Frame Material
Lift slide door frames can come in one of five materials – uPVC, wood, aluminium, uPVC aluminium, and aluminium clad wood. No one material is necessarily better than another because each offers its own unique benefits. Where modern uPVC provides enhanced thermal performance, for example, aluminium gives impressive weather resistance. To compare the options further, just click below.
Deciding on the Type of Patio Door
At Neuffer we offer four types of sliding patio doors. Although we have our favourites when it comes to cutting-edge technology, the final decision and best system will ultimately come down to matching customer needs. To give an overview, first we have the tilt and slide system.
This features two opening options in one door. The operable panel can be lent ajar for a subtle breeze, for example or rather slid across, which provides flexible use where customers can determine preferred ventilation. On the other hand, a lift and slide door with its particularly simple singular action can be slightly more user-friendly and there’s the option to choose a barrier-free threshold.
For those after the fullest of openings though, a bifold door is unmatched in terms of elegance and bringing the outside in. Finally, for a premium product, our Reynaers Hi-Finity sliding door with an electromagnet and slim frames, creates a floating high-tech front.
