Abstract

A sliding door has at least one door leaf that can be brought into an open and a closed position by sliding the door leaf. The sliding door is provided with at least one spring which, in the closed position of the siding door, presses a sealing lip of a seal mounted on the door leaf against a sealing surface on the frame. The sealing lip thereby seals the sliding door from the outside.
