S.15 Wood Clad Lift & Slide

The S.15 Lift and Slide door system is custom made to order with a large variety of options available.

System Overview: This system has been specifically engineered for maximum weather tightness, security and performance.

Maximum Panel Height: Up to 10 feet or up to 12 feet with a true divider.

Maximum Panel Width: Up to 10 feet.

Panel Weight: Approximately 8 to 9 lbs/sqft depending on overall panel size.

Number of Panels: Countless panel groups can be built.

Profiles: Manufactured from 6063-T5 extruded aluminum core, and 5/8” solid wood interior and exterior framing for a profile thickness of 3”. The wood is uniquely cladded to the profiles by durable polyamide clips which create a thermal barrier for better UV and SFGC performance.

System Configurations Available: Almost any size and shape of opening can be accommodated. Systems can pocket to left or right, and can stack to left and/or right. 90-degree configurations are available, as well as panoramic with a radius of minimum 144″.

Glazing: Clear Low-E tempered-insulated 1″ glass is the standard. Various types of glass and other materials at a thickness of up to 1″ may be used. Optional automated blinds, SDLs and TDLs are available.

Weather-stripping: The entire door system has specially designed EPDM V-type gaskets and dense felt brushes to create a totally closed weather sealed system.

Bottom Track Options:

All weight is carried on the bottom track, the top track serves as a guide.

Trench Depth: Min. 2 1/4″

• Standard Recessed Track. Recessed into sub-floor to ensure the smoothest possible operation. The finished floor is laid in between tracks leaving only a 3/16″ rail exposed. A virtually unobstructed threshold from the interior to the exterior area for a “barefoot” friendly and ADA compliant passage.

Trench Depth: Min. 2 1/2″

• Standard Recessed Track with drainage. In addition to the above features, this track has a weep channel for increased security against water infiltration. Panda holds a patent for the drainage technology used in this track.

Trench Depth: Min. 1 1/2″

• 1 1/4″ Recessed track. Recessed into sub-floor to ensure the smoothest possible operation, this track features a shallower recess than the two tracks mentioned above and is leveled with stack shims instead of all-threads. The finished floor is laid in between tracks leaving only a 3/16″ rail exposed. A virtually unobstructed threshold from the interior to the exterior area for a “barefoot” friendly and ADA compliant passage.
• 1 1/4″ Recessed track with drainage. In addition to the features mentioned for the previous track, this one has a weep channel for increased security against water infiltration. Panda holds a patent for the drainage technology used in this track.

Trench Depth: Mounts on floor

• ADA Compliant Surface Track. It is used in configurations where recessing is not possible. This low 5/16″ track mounts directly to the finished floor. For best operation, floor must be smooth and level.

Top Track:

• The header track features adjustable shims from 1/2 ″ to 1″ depending on type of bottom track and finished floor thickness.
• The header track widths are 4″ for one panel, 8″ for two panels, 12″ for three panels, and 16″ for four panels approximately. Trench width should be taken into account when planning rough header construction.
