1. "Swing and Slide" from ProFix
2. New Wave Swing and Slide (same as ProFix?) - YouTube link
3. The bi-fold alternative from Panoramic Doors
Below: SunSeeker UltraSlim Doors - spot the difference!
More glass, less frame.
SunSeeker Doors designed and developed UltraSlim in 2009. They are the only manufacturers of these swing-and-slide / slide-and-pivot doors which are manufactured at their site in Bedfordshire. SunSeeker UltraSlim Doors are made to order to exact specifications and installed by SunSeeker's trained teams, not third party contractors.
The industry doesn't seem to have a common name for the multi-door pivot-slide-pivot-stack system and they are often marketed as hinge-less bifolds.
We are not sure which other doors are manufactured in the UK and who the manufacturers are (it's part of our on-going research) but it seems that Panoramic was a USA company that is beginning to manufacture in England and other companies are importing German systems.
SunSeeker Doors cannot guarantee that nothing ever goes wrong with an installation, as there may be other construction teams on site but, as a one-stop-shop, clients have only one point of contact for any door-related queries. The company is privately owned and has been manufacturing aluminium framed patio doors since 2003. Visit www.sunseekerdoors.co.uk for more details and a quotation.
