Passage

Ultra Slim Sliding

Handcrafted in Ireland by skilled craftsmen, Passage doors combine style, security, and sustainability in every design. Custom-built on premium frames for a low-maintenance, long-lasting entrance, our Lift & Slide system is engineered to glide up to 250kg of glass with a single finger, delivering vault-like airtightness for Ireland’s most exposed homes.

Command the Coast with Effortless Scale

Why Choose the
Lift & Slide?

Standard sliding doors often struggle with friction and failing seals when used at a large scale. Our Lift & Slide system is the undisputed champion for performance and longevity:

Zero-Friction Glide:

Internal gearing physically lifts the door leaf off its tracks, allowing you to move up to 400kg of glass with one hand.

Weather-Defying Airtightness

When locked, the door drops onto heavy-duty EPDM compression seals, eliminating drafts and whistling even on storm-prone coastal sites.

Fabricated in Ireland

Every unit is handcrafted in our Irish workshop to meet ISO 9001 standards, ensuring meticulous engineering and short lead times.

Passive House Ready

Achieving best-in-class thermal insulation designed for A-Rated and NZEB homes.

Key Features

Massive Dimensions

Features a German-engineered GU Multipoint automatic locking system as standard; the door locks automatically upon closing.

Thermal Performance

Industry-leading U-values as low as 0,8 (W/m²K) for outstanding energy efficiency.

Weather Resistance

High resistance to warping thanks to Split Isolator Technology, which allows internal and external faces to expand independently in the sun.

Sightlines & Design

Slim 3D adjustable barrel hinges (tested to 500,000 cycles) or optional concealed hinges for a sleek, hidden look.

Grand Scale

Standard hinged doors up to 1400{mm} wide and 3000mm high, with Pivot options reaching 1700{mm} wide.

Standard Finish

Durable textured external coating and a matte white internal finish for a bright, timeless aesthetic.

Design & Hardware Options

We offer total aesthetic coordination to ensure your new sliding doors match the existing ironmongery and finishes of your project.

Matching RAL Ironmongery

We provide handles in matching RAL colours as standard for a seamless, uniform architectural look.

Premium Finishes

For projects requiring a specific tactile feel, we offer handles in Marine-Grade Stainless Steel or Anodised Satin Silver to match other fixtures in the area.

Marine-Grade Protection

All frames are available with Qualicoat Seaside-standard powder coatings or wood-effect finishes, backed by our 25-year marine paint guarantee.

Handle & Feature

We offer a range of handle styles depending on the look you want to achieve:

Smart Access Options

Our front doors can be upgraded with fully integrated smart access systems, giving you a simple and secure way to enter your home without relying on keys.

Designed as part of the door

We only recommend smart access systems that integrate properly with the locking hardware and door build. This gives a cleaner appearance, better compatibility and more reliable day-to-day use than basic add-on devices.

Comparison:

Is this the right system for you?

Performance issues rarely stem from the system itself; they happen when the wrong product is chosen for the wrong location.

Ideal Project Types:

Choose the Lift & Slide for exposed coastal sites, Passive House builds, and grand extensions where you want massive glass panes to move with zero friction.
Choose the Ultra Slim Slider for sheltered urban extensions where a minimalist 25mm sightline and a completely flush threshold are the primary design goals.
