Most Innovative Patio, Multi-Slide, Multi-Panel Door | LePage Multislide

The LePage Multislide system is distinguished by its fully flat, recessed fiberglass threshold. This solution significantly reduces thermal bridging while maintaining durability, accessibility, and a clean, unobstructed aesthetic. The Lepage Multislide also offers an option with an internal tubular drainage system. Through extensive testing and multiple design iterations, Lepage developed a drainage solution located beneath the frame and equipped with backflow protection. This system ensures reliable water management, resistance to wind pressure, and protection against freeze thaw conditions. 

The Koons Pool House in Annapolis, Maryland, demonstrates how the Lepage Multislide is being used in a real‑world residential application where large openings, frequent operation, and exposure to variable weather conditions are critical considerations. Installed as a primary connection between interior living space and a pool area, the Multislide allows the facade to be partially or fully opened on a daily basis, creating a seamless indoor‑outdoor experience while maintaining smooth operation and precise alignment. 

“Thresholds that help reduce thermal bridging and improve accessibility are subtle, but important innovations,” says judge Heather West.
