APA 4600 Plus Lift & Slide Door System
Overview
The APA 4600 Lift & Slide Door is designed to create bright, open living spaces in modern homes. It combines wide glass surfaces, smooth operation and strong performance to connect indoor and outdoor areas with ease. As a result, it works well for patios, garden rooms, extensions and any home that prioritises natural light and clear views.
Smooth Lift-and-Slide Operation
The system uses an advanced lift-and-slide mechanism that allows the sash to glide smoothly with minimal effort. When lowered, the door forms a tight seal that protects the home from air and water ingress. This ensures better comfort, reduced heat loss and improved security.
Because the mechanism lifts the sash before sliding, the system supports large openings and heavy glazing. This makes the APA 4600 Lift & Slide Door an ideal choice for wide spans and tall glass panels.
Thermal & Acoustic Performance
The door uses insulated aluminium profiles and modern sealing technology to reduce heat transfer. These features help maintain a stable indoor temperature throughout the year. With suitable double or triple glazing, the system can also reduce external noise, creating a more peaceful home environment.
Design & Aesthetic Flexibility
The slim aluminium design provides a clean, modern appearance. The large glass areas bring more natural light into the home and enhance the sense of space. This makes the system suitable for contemporary extensions, open-plan living, and high-end residential projects.
You can choose from several glazing options, configurations and handle designs. The system also works seamlessly with other APA window and door products to achieve a consistent architectural look across the home.
Durability & Sustainability
The APA 4600 is manufactured from strong, recyclable aluminium. The materials resist corrosion and require minimal maintenance, even in exposed environments. Because the system uses recyclable aluminium, it supports sustainable construction and reduces environmental impact.
