Salice Wind Overhead Lift System
Description

Wind, designed and made in Italy by Salice, is an elegant, unobtrusive overhead lift system for flap doors.

Wind’s compact design requires minimal space, thus maximising storage area within the cabinet in kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, garages, offices and more. Wind features a smooth, controlled movement system with a soft close mechanism to decelerate door motion.

Wind is available in two popular colours – Classic White and Satin Metal Black – and in paired options for 5 door weight levels. For very wide doors, a single lift option is available to supplement pairs and prevent door bowing.
