Sliding
Minimal face widths for a frameless look
Transparency without compromise
Atlas sliding systems combine ultra-slim profiles with heavy-duty engineering. From panoramic doors to narrow-frame windows, every system is designed to maximize glass area and minimize visual interruption.
Common questions
How large can a P168SD sliding panel be?
Individual vents can reach up to 18 m² in area and 1,000 kg in weight, making the P168SD suitable for dramatic panoramic openings. The ultra-slim 22 mm interlock creates the frameless look of fixed glazing while remaining fully operable.
What is the difference between a sliding door and a lift-and-slide door?
A standard sliding door rolls along a track with the sash weight always on the rollers. A lift-and-slide door uses a mechanism that lifts the sash off its seal for effortless operation, then lowers it back for compression against the elements — enabling much larger and heavier panels with a single-finger push.
Is the P138SW suitable for tropical climates?
Yes. Multi-layer sealing and concealed drainage make the P138SW highly resistant to driving rain and humidity. The thermal break frame prevents exterior heat from conducting to the interior surface — critical for climates where temperatures regularly exceed 30°C.

Aluminium vs uPVC vs Timber
Aluminium, uPVC, and timber each have strengths and weaknesses. For tropical and coastal homes, the decision is often made by humidity, salt corrosion, UV exposure, and maintenance tolerance. This guide compares all three materials head-to-head.
