The timber-aluminum lift and slide door with triple glazing is a striking eye-catcher on the Internorm stand. At Heim+Handwerk, we take a look at what makes this barrier-free glass sliding door so special and how it can be integrated into modern living concepts.
Large-format lift and slide doors create flowing transitions between interior and exterior spaces. The large glass surface allows plenty of daylight into the living space, which noticeably changes the feeling of space. At the trade fair, Internorm will be demonstrating how this claim can be combined with high material quality and precise workmanship. Transparent façade elements are becoming increasingly important, especially in modern living concepts. The door is seen not only as a functional component, but also as a design element that shapes the architecture and quality of living.
The lift-and-slide element shown at Heim und Handwerk is designed as a wood-aluminum construction. Wood is used on the inside, in this case oak, which creates a warm and homely atmosphere. On the outside, an aluminum shell protects the element from the weather and ensures durability. This combination of materials combines the advantages of both materials without compromising on appearance or function. The clear separation between the inside and outside allows a targeted adaptation to the style of living and façade design.
A single door leaf weighs around 200 kilograms. Despite this weight, the lift and slide element is easy to operate. At Heim+Handwerk, it is clear that the technology is designed in such a way that the user does not feel any effort. Operation is smooth and controlled, which is particularly important in everyday life. Large glass surfaces should be usable without becoming a barrier.
Another aspect is the barrier-free design. Low-threshold transitions facilitate access to the terrace or garden and contribute to ease of use. This not only plays a role in old age, but is also part of contemporary living concepts. The lift-and-slide door thus supports living that is designed for openness, freedom of movement and long-term usability.
Internorm produces all components in Austria. The window glass is also manufactured in-house so that all components are optimally coordinated. This approach not only facilitates quality assurance, but also subsequent adjustments or renovations. A project manager is available as a contact person from the planning stage through to installation. Installation is carried out by permanently employed fitters, both for new builds and renovation projects.
