Large openings can be solved with standard sliding, lift and slide or folding systems. The right choice depends on span, panel weight, how much of the opening you want free, and budget.
Sliding: clean lines, partial opening
Lift and slide: largest, heaviest panels
Folding: widest clear opening
What matters most
Sliding
Slim, smooth and economical for many residential openings.
Lift & slide
Best for very large, heavy panels and ease of operation.
Folding
Gives the widest clear opening but needs stacking space.
