PVC tilt-and-slide door SW2

Tilt-and-slide opening, living comfort and ThermoFibra technology.

SW2 is MOSCA's PVC tilt-and-slide system, designed for those who want a patio door that is practical, comfortable and able to improve the relationship between inside and outside.

The tilt-and-slide movement allows the opening leaf to come away from the closing plane and slide parallel to the fixed panel. On closing, the leaf returns to position, giving the system a tighter seal and better everyday usability. This sets the tilt-and-slide door apart from both the standard sliding door and the lift-and-slide door.

SW2 is suited to homes, villas, hospitality venues, offices and professional spaces in which the patio door must provide natural light, comfort, insulation and practicality.

ThermoFibra technology, together with the Linktrusion system, allows advanced materials to be integrated within the profile, improving stability, insulation and durability over time.

Deceuninck PVC technology

For its PVC solutions, MOSCA relies on Deceuninck profile technology, an international benchmark in high-performance windows and doors.

In SW2, Deceuninck technology is applied to a tilt-and-slide system designed to combine comfort, practicality, insulation and stability.

ThermoFibra technology, together with the Linktrusion system, makes it possible to combine PVC and continuous glass fibre within the profile, contributing to the rigidity of the system and the thermal performance of the door.

This technical foundation allows MOSCA to offer an advanced PVC sliding door, suited to projects in which the patio door must be functional, efficient and integrated with the architecture of the space.

Material

Composite PVC and ThermoFibra

SW2 uses composite PVC technology designed to improve stability, insulation and quality of use.

ThermoFibra contributes to the rigidity of the system and reduces the need for traditional metal reinforcements in the leaves, improving the thermal performance of the door.

PVC retains its main advantages: insulation, practicality, weather resistance, ease of maintenance and long-term durability.

In SW2, the material is interpreted in an advanced way: not only as an efficient and functional solution, but as the technical basis for a tilt-and-slide patio door that is comfortable, stable and suited to everyday use.

Design

Clean lines and visual continuity

SW2 is designed to make the most of natural light and create a smoother relationship between interiors and outdoor spaces.

The glazed surface brings light into rooms and creates greater visual continuity towards terraces, gardens, courtyards, patios or outdoor views.

The system's design is tidy and contemporary, created to sit harmoniously in private homes, hospitality venues, offices and professional spaces.

SW2 is a solution suited to projects in which the PVC door must offer comfort, insulation and a clean aesthetic presence, without sacrificing the practicality of a sliding opening.

Movement

Tilt-and-slide opening

The tilt-and-slide movement is the distinctive feature of SW2.

Unlike a simple sliding door, in the tilt-and-slide system the opening leaf does not just slide along the track: it first comes away from the closing plane, then slides parallel to the fixed panel.

This movement ensures a tighter closure when the leaf returns to position, contributing to protection from the elements and to the overall quality of the door.

SW2 is designed for simple, comfortable everyday use: opening, closing and walking through the patio door should be a natural, stable and controlled gesture.

Types

Available configurations

SW2 can be configured in various ways, depending on the size of the opening, the clear passage required and the amount of natural light to be maximised.

The main configurations available are:

2-leaf sliding door.

3-leaf sliding door.

4-leaf sliding door.

6-leaf sliding door.

Frames available with 2 or 3 tracks.

This flexibility allows SW2 to be adapted both to more compact openings and to wider solutions, choosing the configuration best suited to how the room is used.

The choice of configuration depends on the size of the space, the type of passage required and the relationship you want to create between inside and outside.

Light

Glazed surface and connection with the outdoors

SW2 is designed to make the most of natural light.

The glazed surface lets more light into interiors and enhances the perception of space.

This makes the sliding door particularly suitable for living areas, bedrooms, suites, hospitality venues, offices and professional spaces in which the opening towards the outside is an important element of the project.

In contemporary homes, villas and professional settings, SW2 delivers greater visual continuity, enhancing the relationship between interiors, natural light and the landscape outside.

Insulation

Thermal and acoustic comfort

SW2 is designed to offer living comfort, insulation and quality of use.

ThermoFibra technology helps improve the system's thermal performance, reducing heat loss and helping to maintain a more stable indoor temperature.

The glazing configuration can also be used to improve acoustic comfort, protecting rooms from outside noise.

SW2 is therefore a solution suited to those looking for an advanced PVC sliding door that offers insulation, comfort, practicality and long-term stability.

Sealing

Air, water and wind

The weathertightness of the system is essential to ensure protection, comfort and reliability.

In SW2, the correct integration of profiles, gaskets, glass and hardware helps protect rooms from air, water, wind, draughts and the elements.

The tilt-and-slide movement allows the leaf to return to position on the closing plane, contributing to the quality of the closure and to the protection of the interior.

Specific values for air permeability, watertightness and wind resistance will be defined according to the system's technical configuration.

Transparency

Glazing

SW2 makes glass the main feature of the sliding door.

The transparent surface lets in more natural light and improves the visual connection with the outdoors.

The system can be configured with high-performance glazing, chosen according to requirements for thermal insulation, acoustic comfort, security, brightness and energy control.

The choice of glass is decisive in defining the performance level of the sliding door and adapting it to the specific requirements of the project.

Technology

Linktrusion and ThermoFibra

SW2 stems from a technology designed to take the concept of the PVC sliding door a step further.

Linktrusion technology makes it possible to combine several materials within the profile, integrating PVC and continuous glass fibre during the production process.

This solution helps improve stability, insulation and rigidity, resulting in a PVC sliding system with greater performance and durability.

ThermoFibra is the technological heart of SW2: a concrete response to the demand for windows and doors that are more efficient, more stable and better suited to the needs of contemporary living.
