Lift & Slide Doors
Large-format glass, designed for smooth operation
Lift and slide is our premium sliding system, and the difference is in the handle. Turning it lifts the panel off its seals onto the rollers to help large, heavy panels move smoothly; releasing it lowers the panel onto a full compression seal. The system is designed to combine large-format glass with comfortable operation and enhanced sealing against wind, rain and noise.
Profile accreditation
Northstar uses uPVC profile systems accredited under the uPVC Windows Alliance Industry Code of Practice.
The accreditation relates to profile performance and suitability for Australian conditions.
We can also supply selected uPVC window and door systems rated to Passive House standard.
