ᐅ Tilt-and-turn or lift-and-slide door for the balcony?

Created on: 22 May 2015 22:19

Hello everyone,

This week we attended the selection appointment for our house and are still undecided about which type of door to choose for our balcony door (3m opening width): currently, a tilt-and-slide door from Kneer is included, while the lift-and-slide door would cost an additional 2630€ including film coating.

There seems to be some debate on this topic, as many say the lift-and-slide door requires more effort to open. Unfortunately, I can’t make a direct comparison at the moment. What do the experienced home builders think about this?

Regards,
Uwe

Is a PSK door the same as a tilt-and-slide door? The terms confuse me a bit. We will think about it until next week and also ask about the cost of a lower threshold.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Parallel sliding tilt-and-turn door

Similar to a sliding door, but cheaper to construct and, in my opinion, not as elegant...

OK, that’s why I was confused. The tilt-and-turn door is not a sliding door at all. It’s not an option for us because it would extend too much into the dining area.

Wait, but there is also the parallel lift-and-slide door..

We chose a lift-and-slide door ourselves. I was familiar with it from home and find it easier to operate.
