A generally horizontally sliding door includes a sliding or otherwise translating door panel with a full-perimeter seal that engages sealing surfaces upon closing and at least partially disengages the surfaces upon opening. The door panel travels along an overhead track that is slightly inclined to lower the panel's upper and lower edge seals into engagement with sealing surfaces as the door closes. To provide a substantially full-perimeter seal, a leading edge seal and a trailing edge seal engage sealing surfaces as well. Some of the edge seals are joined to create corner seals. The seals are adapted for single panel sliding doors, bi-parting doors, multi-panel doors, and various combinations thereof.

[ We claim:] [1.]1. A door for at least partially covering a doorway defined by a wall and a lower surface, comprising:a first door panel adapted to laterally translate along a plane relative to the doorway between a doorway blocking position and an unblocking position;a first seal including a first sealing surface interposed between a first attachment end and a first distal end with the first attachment end being attached to the first door panel; anda second seal disposed to allow relative movement between the first seal and the second seal, the second seal including a second sealing surface interposed between a second attachment end and a second distal end, such that the first door panel in the doorway blocking position causes the first sealing surface to face the second sealing surface and positions the second distal end between the first distal end and at least one of the first door panel and the first attachment end, wherein both the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface are tilted relative to the plane.
