Hi-Zenith
Aligned sashes pull & slide system that seals like a casement
Giesse presents its new pull & slide system, born from the Highdea initiative: maximum light, aligned sashes and the performance of a hinged window.
Contemporary architecture increasingly demands large glazed surfaces, slim profiles and visual continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces. Hi-Zenith pull & slide was created to answer this demand: innovative hardware developed by Giesse to fit the most minimalistic and demanding sliding systems.

Less frame, more light
The central mullion of the system can be reduced to just 70 mm thanks to the optional Giesse NP Ultra opening mechanism. That is nearly half the frame width of traditional Lift & Slide solutions (120÷140 mm), and it allows the window to integrate seamlessly with the finished wall. The handle without a base, positioned at the centre, completes the minimalist effect.
Hi-Zenith Pull & Slide also offers a detail that is unique in the world of sliding windows: when closed, the two glass panels are aligned on the same plane, instead of sitting on offset panes as is normally the case. The result is a continuous, flush surface, particularly appreciated by architectural studios.
Simple and intuitive to use
Operation is immediate: rotating the handle by 90° releases the locking points, the panel is pulled towards the user and can then be moved sideways. Intuitive gestures, without effort.
Even the threshold is designed not to be noticed: only 20 mm high, it can be recessed into the floor, eliminating the risk of tripping. In renovation projects the work is even lighter: the system can be installed over the existing floor, with no invasive masonry work.
High performance
The Hi-Zenith hardware supports sash weights of up to 400 kg while ensuring smooth operation, even in large framed sliding doors.
Once closed, the sliding panel seals like a casement window, thanks to the central gasket in the frame that creates the four-sided closure: the air/wind/water performance of the system is excellent, comparable to an hinged window.
Customisable with no compromises
Compatibility with the NP Ultra system means the window can be adapted to the specific needs of every project, without giving up either design or performance.
