Combinations of a sliding door are often used, which can be pushed in front of an adjacent fixed window section when open. A so-called lift-and-slide door (lift-and-slide door) can be tilted and pushed and is aligned in such a way that the fittings can be locked in any position.
A distinction is mainly made between the following types:
Sliding doors can be installed with one or more leaves. On the ground they are guided by a pin, at the top they are suspended on running rails. When opened, the wings can disappear behind a wall or another sliding wing.
Sliding doors, in which the individual leaves are connected by hinges, are called folding doors. These can be pushed together in or behind the door jamb to save space.
Sliding doors that close a building to the outside are called sliding gates.
Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors can be combined to form room dividers. This allows larger meeting / meeting rooms, for example, to be divided into smaller units.
