Steel sliding system SKYLINE DRIVE

doorwindowconcealed runner

Product Skyline Drive by Carminati is a motorized lift & slide window/door system that combines a minimal-frame aesthetic with automated operation. Concealed motors connect to each sash via a belt above the frame, enabling automation of large and heavy sliding sashes while preserving high thermal performance and reduced visible profiles.

Operation & motorization The drive unit uses concealed belt-driven motors connected to every sash. Operation can be commanded by a wall-mounted button or remote control. Skyline Drive is compatible with standard sliding systems and pocket (recessed) sliding door systems, and is prepared for integration with building automation.

Load capacity & thermal performance The system supports high load capacities — up to 1,000 kg per sash — while ensuring high thermal insulation and excellent U-values suitable for demanding architectural applications.

Accessories & smart functions

• Opening and safety sensors
• Switches with digital code
• Remote opening via dedicated remote connection
• Integration with home automation systems
• Electromagnetic control board compatible with alarm systems

Security Motorization increases burglary resistance compared with traditional sliding systems: when motorized and closed, the element cannot be opened manually. Electromagnetic locking and alarm integration further enhance security.

Materials & design Skyline Drive is available in wood and steel versions. The steel version preserves the purity of the Skyline minimal-frames concept, offering thin profiles and refined details such as low recessed floor guides to minimize visible sightlines.

Multimedia & visuals Product documentation includes photographic galleries showing wood and steel installations, details of recessed low guides and corners, and a hosted video demonstrating the motorized sliding automation in real conditions.
