Perfect for parties, indoor/outdoor spaces, or simply enhancing any room, Lift & Slide View-Walls by Pacific Architectural Millwork are extraordinary doorways to panoramic views.
This is no ordinary sliding door - our Lift & Slides create virtual moving walls of wood-framed glass panels that stack or disappear into a pocket, opening up living spaces to the outdoors. The weight of the panels rests on the solid floor surface and compresses the weatherstripping, creating a weather-resistant seal. When you activate each handle, the panel lifts up onto its wheeled carriages, enabling it to slide easily and quietly along its track.
We manufacture panels out of either solid wood, wood with exterior aluminum cladding, or aluminum panels with 5/8" interior wood cladding for trouble-free maintenance. We offer a raised wood track for improved weather performance, or a recessed track that is made out of stainless steel, rather than aluminum, for better durability and resistance to corrosion. We will also match your custom cladding color at no extra charge using Kynar paint, a superior finish that minimizes UV fading.
Lift & Slide View-Walls are made from custom aluminum extrusions and quality hardwoods with optional custom features to complement your project's design. Configure your door today and experience the seamless blending of your indoor and outdoor environments.
