3-pane sliding patio door in Schüco LivIng Slide

LivIng Slide is the lift-and-slide patio door from Schüco's uPVC LivIng family: an 82 mm sash with a steel core, Uf 1.3 W/m²K and glass up to 54 mm thick. The sash is 82 mm deep and built up from four chambers, with a steel core inside, and achieves a Uf of 1.3 W/m²K; combined with insulating glass, a Uw down to 0.80 W/m²K is achievable. The outer frame itself is 194 mm deep, the sightline starts at 180 mm, and a single sash can be up to 3,200 mm wide and 2,600 mm high. The threshold is thermally broken and has fourteen chambers; it can be fitted flush with the floor, so you step from inside to outside without a step. Three levels of seals all round keep draughts and water out and bring the sound insulation to 45 dB. The glass can be up to 54 mm thick, so triple glazing fits too.

Fixed — sliding — fixed: the centre pane of this door slides away behind one of the two fixed panes.

Where the 2-pane sliding patio door has one fixed and one sliding pane, this door adds a second fixed pane: fixed on the left, sliding in the middle, fixed on the right. That gives a symmetrical look with glass at both ends, and a wider door overall — though the centre pane still slides behind only one of the two fixed panes, not both.

The standard size is 4,200 × 2,300 mm. If you want wider still, or two sliding panes instead of one, the 4-pane sliding patio door is the layout that provides for that.
