Frameless Glass Wall Systems
Outdoor Glass
Turn your pergola into a four-season room.
Four frameless glass wall systems — sliding, folding, pivot, and vertical — designed to enclose covered outdoor structures without sacrificing light, views, or the feeling of being outside.
Overview
Glass walls that disappear when you want them to.
Frameless glass operable wall systems close the gap between covered outdoor structures and usable, all-season rooms. Whether you're enclosing an R-BLADE pergola for winter, screening a patio from coastal wind, or adding privacy to a rooftop — there's a glass system built for your opening.
-

-
Seals
75% clarity weather seals
Block wind-driven rain and air infiltration without darkening the space.
-
Finishes
Powder coat or anodized
Matches the full pergola palette — white, black, gray, wood grain, custom.
-
Systems
4 operable configurations
GLIDE, ClearFOLD, ClearPIVOT, Vertaslide — one for every opening type.
-
Install
Compatible with all pergola types
No secondary framing needed — integrates directly with the existing structure.
Systems
Four ways to enclose your space.
Each system opens differently. The right choice depends on your opening width, architectural preference, and how often you want the glass out of the way.
Key features
Engineered for outdoor conditions.
Every system in the glass collection shares the same core engineering — built for weather, transparency, and clean integration with covered structures.
-
Truly frameless design
Glass-to-glass panel contact with minimal aluminum framing. Maximum transparency, unobstructed sightlines, and a clean architectural profile from every angle.
-
All-season protection
Transparent weather seals with 75% clarity combat wind-driven rain and minimize air infiltration. Close when it rains, open when the weather's right — without losing natural light either way.
-
Pergola-integrated install
Engineered to pair directly with louvered, fixed-roof, and patio cover structures. No secondary framing required. Finish options coordinate with the full pergola palette — white, black, dark gray, wood grain, bronze, or custom.
A room without walls — unless you want them
Open air. Closed in. Your call.
Glass walls give your covered outdoor space a second mode: fully open on warm evenings, fully enclosed when temperatures drop or coastal wind picks up. No seasonal teardown, no fabric awnings — just glass that moves on demand.
-
Year-round use
Extend the season by months. Enclose in winter, open in summer — the structure stays in place.
-
Wind & rain barrier
Transparent seals reduce air infiltration and block wind-driven rain without darkening the space.
-
Unobstructed views
10mm tempered glass with minimal frame profile keeps sightlines clean whether panels are open or closed.
-
Privacy on demand
Close the glass for a private outdoor dining room. Open it fully for parties — zero visual footprint.
-
Pergola-matched finishes
Aluminum frame finishes match the pergola system — specify the same color for a seamless build.
-
Commercial-grade hardware
Smooth-running tracks and patented retention systems built for daily use across residential and hospitality settings.
FAQ
Questions about outdoor glass.
Can glass walls be added to an existing pergola?
Yes. All four systems are designed to integrate with existing covered structures — louvered pergolas, patio covers, and fixed-roof structures — without requiring secondary framing. We assess the opening dimensions and structure during the consultation and specify the right system.
What is the difference between the four systems?
GLIDE panels slide horizontally on parallel tracks and stack to one end. ClearFOLD panels accordion-fold to the sides. ClearPIVOT panels slide then rotate 90° flat against the wall. Vertaslide panels raise and lower vertically with a motorized drive. The choice depends on your opening size, usage pattern, and whether you prefer the glass out of the way horizontally or vertically when open.
Are these systems weatherproof?
All systems include transparent weather seals rated at 75% clarity that resist wind-driven rain and minimize air infiltration. They are designed for outdoor use and maintain comfort in wind, rain, and variable temperatures. They are not thermally broken and are not intended as a substitute for interior glazing.
What glass is used?
10mm single-pane tempered safety glass. Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard float glass and, in the event of breakage, shatters into small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards.
Is the Vertaslide motorized?
Yes. Vertaslide uses a motorized drive system — panels raise and lower at the press of a single button. The other three systems (GLIDE, ClearFOLD, ClearPIVOT) are manually operated.
What finish options are available?
Aluminum framing is available in powder-coat or anodized finishes. Standard colors match the pergola collection palette — white, black, dark gray, and wood-grain tones. Custom colors are available for full-finish coordination across pergola, glass, and hardware.
Do glass walls require a permit?
In most jurisdictions, adding glass walls to an existing covered structure requires a building permit. We manage the permit process and can provide engineering documentation as part of the project package.
How long does installation take?
A standard glass wall installation on an existing pergola typically takes one to two days depending on the opening count and system type. Glass is ordered to size after the site is measured — lead time is typically 6–10 weeks from order.
