It is a standard sliding door unit with a stationary glass panel (transom) attached above it to reach greater heights.
Sliding Door With Top Fixed
Slider with a fixed toplight to boost daylight while keeping everyday ventilation functional.
- Energy Saving
uPVC doors and windows are designed to keep outdoor heat outside and indoor comfort inside. The multi-chamber profiles and tight sealing reduce heat transfer, helping rooms stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Result: lower air-conditioning load and visible savings on electricity bills. - Protection from Noise
Traffic, construction, and the daily city orchestra stay where they belong. Precision sealing and insulated profiles significantly reduce outside noise, creating a quieter, calmer indoor environment that feels instantly noticeable the moment the window closes. - Rainwater Insulation
Heavy rain is tested, invited, and rejected. uPVC windows & doors are built with drainage paths, fusion-welded joints, and weather seals that prevent water seepage even during intense monsoons. Interiors stay dry, walls stay stain-free. - Safe from Storm
Strong winds and sudden pressure changes don’t get special treatment. Reinforced frames and secure locking systems provide stability against high wind loads, making uPVC doors and windows reliable during storms and extreme weather conditions. - Easy Care with low maintenance
No painting, no polishing, no seasonal drama. uPVC surfaces don’t rust, peel, or fade easily. A simple wipe with a cloth keeps them looking clean and new, year after year. - Termite Safe
Termites look, inspect, and move on. uPVC is not wood, doesn’t attract pests, and doesn’t rot. That means long-term durability without chemical treatments or periodic repairs. - Pollution Free
Tight sealing keeps dust, pollution, and outdoor contaminants outside. When paired with proper ventilation options, uPVC windows help maintain cleaner indoor air, making homes more comfortable and healthier to live in. - Weather Proof
Sun, rain, humidity, or temperature swings. uPVC doors and windows are designed to perform consistently across all seasons without warping, cracking, or losing shape. Same fit, same function, all year.
Commonly Asked Queries
When should I choose this design?
Use this when your ceiling height is very tall (e.g., 9–10 feet) and a standard door height isn't enough to fill the opening.
Does the top part open?
Usually no; the "Top Fixed" section is a stationary picture window designed solely to let in light.
Is there a beam between the door and the top glass?
Yes, a structural "transom beam" or coupler separates the moving door from the fixed glass to ensure stability.
Does this design make the room brighter?
Yes, the extra height acts like a skylight, allowing natural light to penetrate deeper into the room.
Can I install a mosquito mesh?
Yes, a sliding mesh can be installed on the door section, while the top fixed part remains permanently bug-proof.
Does the top fixed part reduce the door's weight?
Yes, by splitting the height, the sliding sash remains lighter and smoother to operate than one massive heavy door.
Can I use different glass for the top part?
Yes, you can use frosted glass on the top fixed section for privacy while keeping the bottom door clear.
Is it secure?
Yes, the top fixed panel is internally glazed (glass removed from inside only), preventing intruders from removing it from outside
Does it look modern?
Yes, it creates a grand "wall of glass" effect that is very popular in modern luxury homes.
Is it prone to leaking?
No, the top fixed part is completely sealed, and the transom joint is waterproofed to prevent leaks.
