Sliding frames are for ALUMIL a category in which it stands out internationally, thanks to the innovative solutions it develops. Providing a full range of options for any kind of project, energy-efficient sliding frames upgrade a space overall, both in terms of performance and aesthetics.

The sliding ones are ideal for cases where the covering of openings larger than 2 meters is required. In addition, they help to save space if space around the frame is limited. For particularly large openings, there is the option of a robust lift & slide frame that facilitates movement while providing increased water tightness.

ALUMIL offers a variety of solutions for sliding or lift and slide frames, including the following typologies:

Parallel sliding

The most common typology in which two or more sashes are next to each other and slide on separate tracks. When the frame is closed, the sashes are joined at the so-called "interlocking profile".

Meeting stile

A typology that offers the most practical solution when it comes to having two sashes on a bottom track, which are joined and interlock in the middle. It is usually combined with multi-leaf typologies of parallel frames.

Recesses

Recessed sliding frames ensure maximum space ergonomics, as their sashes are "hidden" inside the wall, thus facilitating passage, leaving the entire opening free.

Corner

For special constructions, mainly in detached houses or country houses, when there are openings that form a corner, corner sliding frames can help maximize natural light and direct visual contact with the outside.

Sliding frames are an excellent choice if:

  • Your space has large window openings.
  • Your space is limited.
  • You emphasize minimal design.
