Super-slim Imago
Lift & Slide fills a big
gap in the market
Imago Lift & Slide, the slimmest
timber frame lift and slide door
hardware system in the market is
now available from AGB.
The trend for ‘Grand Design’
style homes with open spaces that
let in light, give great views and
allow easy access is here to stay.
Imago’s super-slim design fills a real
gap in the market for companies
wanting to offer customers

maximum glass area and minimum
frame width.
“UK homeowners want to
open up their homes but Britain’s
climate doesn’t match the sunshine
of the Med so most of the time
these impressive doors will remain
closed,” sa ys Marco Zen, UK sales
manager for AGB Hardware.
“Hence, the view to the garden
becomes more important and

slimmer frames give better views.
“The market for bifolding doors
is shifting towards lift and slide
doors as aspirational buyers move
away from doors with separate door
leafs that break up the view. Imago
Lift & Slide offers customers a

panoramic view, beautifully framed
in timber.” The new Imago Lift
& Slide system means companies
can manufacture a frame visible
thickness of just two centimetres.
