Defender 76LS
The Defender 76LS is recommended for smaller openings (less than 15′ wide).
Premium Lift and Slide Doors
Our Lift + Slide Doors glide open with a light touch, thanks to precision-engineered hardware and a secure lifting mechanism. Built with our exclusive Hybrid Framing System—featuring steel-reinforced uPVC and fusion-welded corners—they offer the strength to span extra-large openings. Advanced compression gaskets provide superior air and water sealing, delivering unmatched energy efficiency and weather protection.

Lift + Slide vs Traditional Sliding Door
Besides performance, security, and design, the most immediate difference when using the lift + slide is how effortless the door moves even with extra large openings. You push and it glides continuously.

Operation
Simple handle turn lifts door off track for effortless sliding of extra-large panels.
Slides on track with friction, requiring more force and causing wear.

NAFS performance data is based on the following tested sizes: Defender 76LS – Single Operable – 180" wide x 102" high; Defender 88LS – Single Operable – 120" wide x 98" high. Additional NAFS and NFRC values are available for different glass combinations, options and tested sizes. For additional performance values, visit our website or contact your Product Representative.
Net Zero Energy
Not All Certifications Are Equal
Why do certifications matter? Quality Engineering. Obtaining Passive House certification is hard and is an indicator of the engineering and research standards of the manufacturer. In Canada, the National Energy Code has 4 tiers aiming for homes to be at tier 4 (Net Zero Ready) by 2030. Passive House exceeds even Net Zero. Energy Star is Tier 1. Innotech's windows are Passive House. Know which certifications actually matter in giving you guidance on what's superior build quality.
Energy Certifications Ranked by Strictness
| Rank | Certification | Energy Efficiency | Innotech Products | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Cold Climate Passive House (PHI) Elite | ~90%+ | Innotech Defender 88PH+ | Only 4 manufacturers worldwide, 2 in North America (Innotech is 1 of them). The absolute best for airtightness, thermal efficiency, and durability in cold climates. |
2 | Passive House (PHI) Top Tier | ~80-90% | Innotech Defender 88PH+ | The gold standard for energy performance; airtight, thermally efficient homes with rigorous testing and verification requirements |
3 | Net-Zero Energy Ready (NZER) / National Energy Code Tier 4 Top Tier | ~75-80% | Innotech Defender 76TS | Net-Zero Energy Ready is Canada's 2030 target; National Energy Code Tier 4 is the national code top tier not yet adopted in Ontario. Both represent the highest performance levels for future building standards. |
4 | National Energy Code Tier 3 High | ~50% | — | Ontario's 2025 requirement for new homes; represents a significant step up from current building codes |
5 | National Energy Code Tier 2 Moderate | ~25% | — | Offers moderate energy performance improvements; not currently adopted in Ontario |
6 | LEED / Built Green / Energy Star Certificates Standard | ~5-20% | — | Whenever you see LEED/Built Green Certificate, it is their most basic certificate at around 20% efficiency gains. They have higher tiers in Gold/Platinum, so make sure to ask what tier. Energy Star is common to see in Ontario but it's the most basic efficiency standard. |
7 | National Energy Code Tier 1 / Ontario 2025 Standard Baseline | 5-15% | — | Ontario's current standard as of 2025; aligns with the minimum National Energy Code requirements |
