4-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 — sliding — fixed: on this door the two centre panes each slide to their own side, behind one of the fixed panes.

This door puts two sliding panes against each other in the middle, with a fixed pane at each end. The left sliding pane moves behind the left fixed pane, the right one behind the right fixed pane: the opening ends up in the middle, between the two panes that slide away. That is more track and more hardware than the 2-pane or 3-pane sliding patio door, and the widest of the three.

The standard size is 5,400 × 2,300 mm. If that is wider than you need or than your wall allows, the 2-pane and 3-pane sliding patio doors are the narrower options in the same lift-and-slide form.
