Glide, do not swing
Panels travel in the plane of the wall. No sash into the room, no sash into the rain. The right motion when a tilt-turn would eat furniture or a walkway.

Patio doors
Patio doors for openings that should disappear into the garden. Specified where a tilt-and-turn sash is the wrong motion — wide spans, terraces, and rooms that need a clear walkthrough.
The opening
Built for width, not for a handle
Spans a window cannot cover
Patios, garden rooms, and wide living-room openings. We spec panel count and track to the width — not a row of tilt-turn sashes pretending to be a wall of glass.
Same German systems, different hardware
Doors are produced to the opening on Salamander profiles, with the glass package and threshold set for the wall. The panels glide; the frame language stays consistent with the windows.
Choose this when
The wall wants a walkthrough, not a sash
- Patio or terrace wider than a comfortable tilt-turn light.
- Furniture or a walkway would block an inward-swinging sash.
- You want a flush indoor–outdoor threshold, specified to the slab.
- The rest of the house is tilt-turn and the language should match.
Measure the span. We will spec the panels.
Photos of the opening and a rough width are enough to start. Windows stay on the tilt-turn page; this catalog is for the doors.
