Are you thinking about giving your home a facelift? One of the most popular home remodeling projects includes adding exterior or interior frameless sliding glass doors. This project can have a dramatic effect and doesn’t require a total home remodel.
Not sure if you should opt for interior or exterior frameless sliding glass doors? In this article, we’ll discuss both and share what makes Cover Glass an optimal choice to accomplish your vision.
There are different uses for interior and exterior frameless glass doors, and they can transform any room in your house for the better!
Interior Frameless Glass Doors
Interior glass can give your home a more open and larger feel. Glass also has the advantage of being resistant to the elements, such as fading from the sun or swelling and rust from moisture. Even better is that interior doors with glass panels are thinner than a traditional door, so you can actually end up having more space in your home!
All Cover Glass interior glass doors include:
Frameless design
Our folding glass doors have no vertical frames between the glass panels. Their interlocking design creates a cohesive, seamless look that is modern and awe-inspiring.
Flush floor-mounted racks
The tracks that allow the doors to slide and pivot are flush with the floor. No bulky strips or tracks to clutter up your space or cause a tripping hazard.
Tracks and side jams can be matched to any color
We’ll match the tracks and side jams to your home to ensure a seamless look.
One sheet of 3/8” tempered glass
Tempered glass is stronger and more durable than standard glass. Our glass is safe for interior and exterior use and is virtually unbreakable.
Top and bottom locks
We include concealed deadbolt locks at the top and bottom of the first panel. This system ensures safety without creating a bulky look. You also have the option for a lock to be included on every panel.

Exterior Frameless Glass Doors
There are countless ways to use exterior frameless glass doors. The only limit is your imagination!
The recent shift to integrating indoor and outdoor spaces has inspired the exterior glass door trend. In sunny locales like California, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas, homeowners want to enjoy the outdoors year-round. A frameless glass door that connects the interior to the exterior can open up a space and make any home an entertainer’s dream.
Exterior frameless glass doors are also perfect for homeowners who want to enjoy the view from their windows without their eyeline being obstructed by unsightly frames and screens. With exterior frameless glass, your property gets an instant upgrade, and you can enjoy your home to the fullest.
Like our interior doors with glass panels, our exterior glass doors include:
- A frameless design
- Top and bottom locks
- Flush floor-mounted racks
- Tracks and side jams can be color-matched to any color
Other features that are unique to our exterior panel system include:
Multiple glass color options
We offer a variety of color options, not just clear! You can also select light gray, light bronze, or reflective bronze to match your home’s ambiance.
Low-E glass
Short for low emissivity, our Low-E glass coating reduces heat transfer. This helps prevent your home from feeling hot, and it also blocks UV rays.
UV protective
Traditional glass windows and doors can wreak havoc on your home’s furniture and other valuables by causing discoloration and fading. Our UV protective glass lets the sunlight in while keeping damaging rays out.
Virtually impenetrable
Our ultra-strong tempered glass is five times stronger than other tempered glass available on the market. It’s rated to withstand winds of up to 222 miles per hour!
Sound deadening
The world is beautiful, but it’s also noisy! Our glass panel systems lockout sound so that you can take in the view without taking in the sound pollution.
Title 24 compliant
Energy-efficient homes are a must in today’s climate. Not only do they save on energy bills, but they also help save the planet. Our materials comply with Title 24, which is a collection of energy standards designed to reduce energy use.
