PSK Tilt-and-Slide:
the most weather-tight sliding system in the range
The PSK (Parallel Slide & Tilt) system is designed for projects that prioritise weather tightness, acoustic comfort and a closing action comparable to a casement window. It is especially suited to homes exposed to wind, sea spray or urban noise.
When closing, the sash presses frontally against the perimeter seals. This compression movement provides excellent air and water tightness while retaining the PSK advantage: a secure tilt position for ventilating without fully opening the sliding door.
Why Choose a PSK Tilt-and-Slide System?
Multi-point security
Locking operates around the entire perimeter of the moving sash. Steel security keeps provide a high level of burglary protection.
Perimeter weather tightness
The moving sash compresses evenly against the frame. It is the only sliding system to provide air and water tightness comparable to a casement window.
Acoustic comfort (45 dB)
Full seal compression helps block outside noise. It is the quietest sliding system in the QFORT range.
Tilt position
Unique to tilt-and-slide systems: tilt the top of the sash to ventilate your room safely, without fully opening the sliding door.
Smooth assisted operation
Sash disengagement is mechanically assisted. Despite glazing weights of up to 200 kg, opening and closing remain exceptionally smooth.
Passive-house insulation
By eliminating the brushes used on conventional sliders, this system removes air-based thermal bridges. Ideal for RT2020 and passive-house projects.

Benefits & Points to Consider
The PSK system is a high-performance sliding solution. To ensure a successful project, it is essential to understand both its key advantages and its technical requirements.
Key benefits:
-
weather tightness Certifiée
Le système de compression périphérique élimine les sifflements d'air, offrant une weather tightness Classe 9A (eau) et Classe 4 (air). - Aération Sécurisée (Tilt) Permet d'aérer la pièce en position Hopper / Transom sans ouvrir complètement la sliding door, tout en restant protégé des intrusions.
-
acoustic insulation (45dB)
C'est le sliding le plus silencieux du catalogue, idéal for zones urbaines bruyantes ou proches des routes.
Points to consider:
-
Seuil avec dormant complet
Contrairement aux systèmes "seuil plat", le tilt-and-slide nécessite un cadre complet (dormant) en partie basse pour assurer la compression. -
Séquence de manipulation
Le mouvement de translation demande une prise en main par l'utilisateur (déboîtement puis coulissement), moins instinctive qu'un sliding classique. -
Poids & Encombrement
Le mécanisme supdoor jusqu'à 200kg, mais les profilés PVC restent plus imposants que l'aluminium minimaliste pour garantir la rigidité à la translation.
