Lift & Slide SL550
Our sliding systems redefine modern luxury. They enhance any room with their sophisticated design — better views, more natural light, and more floor space.
Sliding systems, redefined.
Alumalco sliding systems are precisely engineered to allow for oversized glass panes and ultra-smooth handling. Our systems combine robust aluminum frames, quality components and impeccable craftsmanship, with strict quality control throughout fabrication and installation so each system withstands the harshest weather conditions.
As seen in completed projects.
Built to glide, made to last.
Perfect fit and installation
We work with you to create a totally made-to-measure piece that you will be proud to display. Our bespoke solutions are installed by qualified professionals experienced with special and unique projects.
Quality you can see and feel
Lift and slide systems offer seamless transitions, pure lines and larger glass surfaces for plenty of natural light. Our materials and engineering allow oversized formats without compromising on quality — each component tested against the harshest weather.
Reliability and peace of mind
One of the only materials that can support larger panels is aluminum. As robust as it is, it still offers slim, elegant lines — with an endless list of RAL colour options for special customization.
Tranquility and home safety
A multi-point locking system and the forced-entry certification we obtained give your home added security and you peace of mind.
Innovation and technology
We continuously strive to offer the best products in the world; our engineers and production specialists keep our materials, equipment and technological solutions at the forefront of the industry.
Certified performance
Double, laminated or triple glazed for superior thermal and sound insulation, and certified for air permeability, water tightness, wind resistance, thermal conductivity and noise reduction.
Engineered to glide.
The SL550 rides on a precision-built track designed for a lifetime of effortless movement. Robust, corrosion-resistant components carry even oversized panels with the lightest touch.
The result is a smooth, frictionless slide that stays true for decades.
Quality in the palm of your hand.
Our unparalleled patio doors make even a 400-pound panel a breeze to move. The Alumalco team engineered a lift and slide system using the most innovative hardware in the industry.
Nearly weightless and frictionless, the SL550 looks as good as it feels in movement.
