What is the Lift and Slide window?
Sound pollution and air pollution are two important issues in today's world. For this reason, architects and designers are always trying to reduce these two factors in work and life environments. The integration of these two issues has led to the production of windows and doors that can be the strongest barrier against external factors by occupying the smallest possible space. And all kinds of sliding doors and windows are clever solutions that are available to us today. The newest type of sliding products in the window and door industry are lift and slide windows, insulated sliding doors and windows with large openings. In places that have a beautiful view, this system is an excellent choice.
Lift and slide windows (Lift and Slide)
Lift and slide doors and windows are one of the modern doors that are widely used today and have become very popular among people. The lift-and-slide window is mounted on two rails and several wheels, so the opening and closing of this type of door is very smooth.
This type of doors and windows, as it is known from their name, by turning the handle, it first moves up about 0.5 cm, in other words, it rises 5 mm from the frame, which is called lift. And then, using the wheels designed for this type of door, it moves horizontally to the left or right, which is also called slide.
In fact, in slide mode, the wheels move on the rubber that has been released and cause the door to move. As a result, the window opens and closes in this way. This opening and closing mode of lift and slide doors and windows has resulted in a very excellent feature of this type of doors and windows, and that is the complete insulation of the door. This strong insulation has caused the price of lift and slide doors and windows to be slightly more expensive than other doors and windows.
LIFT and SLIDE Window Features
The rubber used in lift and slide windows is Epdm, and when the window moves, it rises from its place and moves as a rail. When the window is raised, the profile is separated from the rubber and moves to the sliding position in the window, and after closing the handle, the rubber engages with the profile again.
When we turn the handle of the lift and slide window upwards, the window opening hardware is pulled upwards and the window is raised from the frame by 5 mm. Therefore, the profile is not stuck with rubber and the window moves easily in the frame. When we lock the window, the window is placed on the frame, in this case the rubber is stuck with the profile, the window is locked and does not move anymore.
Lift and slide windows are useful for a wide view of the space facing the window. Lift and slide windows are semi-automatic and fully automatic in the form of single rails, double rails or three rails. German and Italian fittings are used in this system.
All kinds of glass and even bulletproof glass can be installed on the lift and slide profile, and this profile is easy and smooth to open.
The diameter of the lift and slide frame is 12 to 16 cm and the width of the profile is 14 to 17 cm. Lift and slide doors and windows can be used up to a height of three meters and a maximum weight of 900 kg.

In this model, the handle is turned upwards, then the opening fitting is pulled upwards and raises the window from the frame to about 5 mm, in which case the tires are no longer engaged with the profile and the window It moves easily. Also, when the window is in the locked state, the entire window sits on the frame and the tires engage on all four sides, where the ventilation is done through the tires.

Difference of Lift & Slide Window with LIFT AND SLIDE
Lift-and-slide and advanced rail windows are older types of sliding windows. The ease of use of both types is the same and it can even be said that both products are good insulators against sound and heat. Compared to the older types of sliding products, the rail windows are more secure, but the security in the lift and slide types reaches its perfection.
Rail doors and windows are produced in three or four panels. In these products, the doors are placed on the pulleys, and by pulling the handle to the left or right, the person can easily move the door on the rail and open and close it. The obvious difference between these two products is also in this matter. Lift and slides are placed on the pulleys only when the person wants to move the door and are completely locked in other situations, which will be possible only with the handle that is built inside. This issue increases the security of the lift and slide type. In Lift and Slide, the triple locking mechanism and the operation of the rail will prevent the door from opening from the outside.
Another point is related to the locking mechanism, which in the rail window cannot be locked in the half-open state by remaining fixed, and in the half-open state, it always moves easily on the rail. The same issue can be dangerous for children and pets, but Lift and Slide products can also be locked in the half-open position, which is an advantage of this product.
The weight bearing limit of rail doors and windows is 200 kg, and when the weight exceeds this limit, it will be difficult to open and close the door. Therefore, it is recommended that the panel dimensions of these products are not larger than 2400 mm x 2600 mm. On the other hand, lift and slides can bear higher weights, so they are better choices for larger panels.
