A glass door that glides on a visible roller bar or hidden track, ideal where there is no room for a swinging door.
When there is no room for a swinging door, a sliding glass door is the answer. Barn-style frameless sliders hang on a roller bar above the opening, with polished or black hardware that becomes part of the design. The glass slides along the face of a fixed panel, so the opening is partial rather than full width, but it is easy to use and takes no floor space for swing.
We measure the opening and the wall so the roller bar can be anchored securely, usually into studs or solid blocking. We choose glass thickness and hardware to match the weight, and we plan stops so the door cannot slide out of line. We adjust the rollers and guides so the door glides smoothly, and we fit a bottom guide and seals suited to the style.
A roller bar carries the weight of the door, so it needs solid backing. We locate studs or add blocking when the wall allows, and we choose anchors for tile or stone.
Rollers, floor guides and stops keep the door moving straight and quiet. We explain how each part is adjusted and replaced.
Thicker glass is common for barn-style doors. We match thickness to the hardware rating and the size of the door.
Sliding doors open about half of the width. We make sure the opening works for entry, cleaning and anyone who needs more room.
Perfect for tight bathrooms and tubs where a door cannot swing out.
Visible or hidden hardware gives the design a clear style.
Rollers and guides are adjusted to glide quietly.
A simple pull handle moves the door with little effort.
The bar is fixed to studs or blocking when possible.
Black, brushed nickel, chrome and brass are available.

You tell us what you want or what is wrong with the glass, and we set an estimate visit that fits your day.
We measure the opening, check walls, curbs and floors for plumb and level and note options for glass, hardware and layout.
You get a plain written scope with glass type, thickness, hardware finish and schedule, and you approve it before anything is ordered.
Glass is cut, polished and tempered to your final measurements, and hardware is ordered to match.
We protect your space, set the glass and hardware, seal it and adjust it until it opens, closes and sits square.
We clean up, walk you through the finished work, fix touch-ups and explain how to care for the glass.
About half of the width, because the door slides along a fixed panel. Wider openings give a larger passage.
Sliders have more gaps than a hinged door, so seals, a bottom guide and a splash panel help keep water inside.
The hardware is exposed, so wipe it regularly. It is easy to reach and has no track to trap dirt.
Yes, with the right anchors. We locate studs where we can and take care not to crack tile.
Some hardware systems include dampers. We tell you what is available for the system we recommend.
