Choose around the opening and options
Start with Capri when its supported dimensions and available hardware, finish and blind choices suit the project. Compare Amalfi when you need a larger sliding assembly and want to review reinforced welded-sash construction.
Both are conventional sliding series. If your design calls for panels that stack along multiple tracks, compare Rimini and Aria as well. Check the actual clear passage and stack position on the drawings.

Is Amalfi always better than Capri?
The right fit depends on the dimensions, operating layout and options you need. Amalfi offers reinforced welded sashes and larger published custom-size limits; Capri offers a range of residential layouts and design options. Compare complete configurations and certified ratings.
Do both series offer three- and four-panel doors?
Yes. Both Capri and Amalfi include two-, three- and four-panel layouts. Panel count describes the complete assembly, not how many panels move or the width of the clear passage.
Are Capri and Amalfi glass and blind options interchangeable?
Do not assume so. Check the available glass, blinds, coatings and accessories for the exact series, dimensions and layout, and confirm them in the written quote.
