The Sliding Door Company Difference: Innovation, Quality, Trust

GENERAL

How often have you envisioned transforming a space in your home or commercial project, but felt limited by traditional options and vendors? Perhaps you’re a homeowner seeking a way to maximize light and space, or an architect or designer searching for innovative solutions to elevate your client’s vision. When it comes to interior sliding glass doors, there’s a world of difference between simply choosing a door and partnering with a company that prioritizes innovation, quality and customer service.

At The Sliding Door Company, we go beyond just selling a product – we offer a comprehensive experience focused on exceeding expectations. We’re not here to dictate what you should do, rather we translate the vision of architects, builders, business owners and designers into a tangible reality.

Dedication to Innovation

We have more than 19 years of experience in our industry. We were also the first to introduce interior sliding glass doors to the market. As industry pioneers, we’re endlessly passionate about pushing boundaries and crafting unique solutions that have the power to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of any space.

We hold numerous patents and have a proven track record of industry-leading designs. One example of how we stand out against competitors is with a revolutionary approach to wheel placement. Unlike others who rely on a horizontal bottom frame, our wheels are integrated within a vertical frame. This innovation, combined with our patented Wheel-To-Track™ safety locking mechanism, unlocks a trifecta of benefits:

smooth adjustability for perfect alignment, guaranteeing the wheels will never get derailed
superior strength and structural integrity for long-lasting performance
enhanced safety for your space

This dedication to innovation extends to the very core of our product. We understand the nuances of space and the importance of crafting bespoke solutions. That’s also why we offer a comprehensive array of customization options. From door styles and frames to glass types, hardware and even smart locks, our extensive selection empowers you to create a space that reflects not just function, but your unique design and budgetary considerations. No project is too intricate, and no detail too minor.

This beautiful home features sleek sliding glass doors that separate a home office space while maintaining a sense of openness.

Quality Above All

Did you know that The Sliding Door Company is the only company in the industry to offer a true limited 10-year warranty on parts? We’ve been in business since 2005, so we can stand behind our warranty, which is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and performance of our products. One thing to consider is that many of our competitors have not been in business long enough to know if their products will hold up after a decade.

One of the many benefits of us owning our own factory is that even if a product is no longer in production, which is quite rare, we can still create replacement parts and service the product. This is just one of the many ways we provide the ultimate assurance of quality and a strong commitment to your long-term satisfaction.

High-quality sliding glass doors open up this space for a bright and connected feel, while also providing privacy when desired.

Safety & Transparency

Safety is something we take extremely seriously, and it extends beyond the materials we use for our products. We use laminated and tempered glass in our products (instead of outdated, cheap and dangerous panels!). Here’s why this makes such a big difference:

Laminated glass has a protective film sandwiched between two glass panes. In case of impact, the film will hold the broken pieces together, minimizing the risk of shattering and potential injuries.
Tempered glass undergoes a heat treatment process that makes it very strong. If it does break, it will shatter into very small, blunt pieces, which drastically reduces the risk of serious cuts and injuries.

The power of transformation – with sliding glass doors this home gym disappears when it’s not in use, maximizing space and creating a functional living area.

Factory Floor to Your Door

We’re proud to not only manage the entire process of manufacturing our products from start to finish, but also provide factory-direct pricing to our clients. What does this mean for you? Our products withstand rigorous quality control and testing so you know you’re getting the best of the best. Offering factory direct service also means we cut out any middlemen, which results in significant cost savings for the doors you select for your project(s).

Unparalleled Client Support

We know that client support is the cornerstone of every successful project. This is why we go beyond just selling a product, we want to be your trusted partner from start to finish. Whether you have a detailed CAD drawing you need us to execute, or you have a basic idea of what you want but need us to build on it, we want to work with you to bring your vision to life.

Some of our fondest experiences are when we get the chance to collaborate with a client at the onset of a project to help further enhance the functionality and aesthetics of any given space. We will work with you to explore styles, finishes and other options, ensuring that your selection seamlessly integrates with your space.

For our trade professionals, our team is available to support with detailed product specifications, installation manuals and readily available customer service representatives who can answer your questions.

Smart Lock Solutions for Every Sliding Door

PRODUCTS

Technology is rapidly evolving, and we all see and experience it firsthand on a daily basis. But have you come across biometric authentication in design? You probably have, but didn’t know the name for it. This includes fingerprint scanners and facial recognition, which are being integrated into everyday objects like door locks and wearables to improve security and convenience.

Introducing Keyless Smart Locks by The Sliding Door Company

At The Sliding Door Company we’ve built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of innovation in our industry, and it’s no different when it comes to utilizing technology in our products. We know our clients crave the convenience of smart technology, especially when it comes to security, which is why we’re thrilled to introduce our new keyless smart locks for interior doors, compatible with our modern glass sliding doors and glass swing doors.

Seamless design meets keyless convenience. Available in brushed silver or matte black, compatible with both sliding doors and swing doors.

As with all our products, the keyless smart locks are meticulously crafted and designed specifically for those with discerning taste. With various distinct entry methods, you can choose whatever fits your convenience at any given moment: touch via fingerprint, pin code on the keypad or remote access through your smart phone. With the ease of unlocking doors remotely, you can grant guest access, a perfect solution for situations like a contractor visiting a building mid-construction, or even a rented co-working office space. For those who value a traditional failsafe, a physical key is also available.

But our vision extends far beyond functionality. We understand the discerning eye of the design-conscious client. That’s why our keyless smart locks are offered in two exquisite finishes – brushed silver or matte black – ensuring a flawless match for any design style or color palette. The ease of installation allows for a smooth integration into existing projects, be it room dividers, wall slide doors or the classic swing door. With the keyless smart locks, you don’t have to choose between security and style – you can elevate both to a new level, ushering in a future where convenience and design live in perfect harmony.

Rethinking Sliding Door Security

While undeniably beautiful, some may think that sliding glass doors are a less-than-ideal choice for places that need privacy, such as offices or commercial spaces. Traditional security measures often fall short when it comes to securing sliding doors. Deadbolts, while effective on hinged doors, can be easily bypassed on a sliding door if the frame itself isn’t reinforced. Similarly, chains offer minimal deterrence and can be easily cut – not to mention that this just doesn’t look good on an interior sliding glass door. These limitations leave trade professionals and homeowners yearning for a more reliable and robust security solution.

Elevate & Secure Your Designs with Smart Locks for Sliding Doors

The integration of smart technology in businesses, commercial spaces and homes is no longer a futuristic vision, it’s a rapidly evolving reality. From automated thermostats to voice-controlled speakers and lighting, convenience and security has been redefined by tech. Yet, amidst this smart revolution, we realized that secure solutions did not exist for high-quality interior sliding glass doors.

No more worries over lost keys, streamline access for employees, visitors and guests with smart locks for sliding doors.

Our keyless smart locks not only elevate security but also unlock a world of possibilities for designers and architects seeking to stay ahead of the curve. By incorporating our keyless smart locks into your projects, you can offer clients the unparalleled benefits of cutting-edge security alongside the timeless elegance of glass doors, sliding or swing. This translates to a clear value proposition, setting your projects apart from the competition.

Level up office security with keyless smart locks, a secure solution for the modern workforce.

The applications for keyless smart locks are many. You can grant secure access to master bedrooms, home offices, co-working offices, retail spaces or healthcare facilities with a simple tap on your smartphone. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor security solutions to each client’s unique needs.

Our keyless smart locks represent a revolution in sliding door security and design. Don’t just take our word for it – usher in a new era of smart tech for your clients.

Go For Gold: The Midas Touch for Your Sliding Door Handles

PRODUCTS

In the world of interiors, gold accents can add a touch of luxury, effortlessly elevating a space. For trade professionals and homeowners who are looking to add that Midas Touch to their projects, The Sliding Door Company is thrilled to announce the launch of gold sliding door handles – the perfect finishing touch to update your existing doors or include in your new interior sliding door installations.

Gold is the newest addition to the family of handle finishes, joining elegant, brushed silver and modern matte black.

New Gold Handle Collection: A Touch of Modern Luxury

We’re thrilled to unveil a stunning new finish, gold, to our Designer Handles. This gold finish features a touch of brass in it to help exude warmth and elegance, and is available in the Round Designer, Square Designer and Extended Square Designer Handles. You can explore these options on our products page under customization options. These new handles harmonize exceptionally well with both matte black room dividers and glossy white frames.

Crafted with the utmost attention to detail and quality, this collection features three distinct handle designs in an exquisite gold finish. From the sleek sophistication of a round pull to the clean lines of a square handle, or the added convenience of an extended pull, you can find the perfect piece to elevate your interior sliding glass room dividers, partitions and doors.

Rest assured, these exquisite handles are not just beautiful – they’re built to last and offer superior durability and smooth operation that will last for years to come. The new gold finish seamlessly integrates with our existing range of sliding door hardware, allowing you to create a cohesive and visually stunning look throughout your entire project.

Not all hardware is created equal. Introducing the gold standard – now available in the Square Designer, Round Designer and Extended Square Designer Handles.

The Enduring Allure of Gold Accents

Throughout human history, gold has been synonymous with luxury and sophistication. From the gilded palaces of ancient pharaohs to the gleaming Art Deco skyscrapers of the roaring twenties, this precious metal consistently represents opulence and grandeur.

As it relates to design, even the slightest touch of gold can elevate a space, adding glamour and timeless elegance. Gold’s versatility is a key part of its enduring appeal. A gold handle can elevate a minimalist interior space with a contemporary edge, while bringing warmth and personality to a more traditional space.

Design aesthetic aside, gold also surprisingly has psychological powers. Studies show that the color is associated with feelings of warmth, optimism and value – all qualities that we naturally want to incorporate into our spaces.

Make a statement with gold sliding door hardware.

Passing Trend or Here to Stay?

We’re no stranger to passing trends in design – we’ve seen many prominent trends come and go. A few interior design trends that come to mind include the bold colors of the 1960s or the love for rattan and wicker in the 1970s – and today we still see a mix of these, and revived representations, in spaces across the nation.

While fully open floor plans may be on their way out, the current resurgence of gold is more than just a fleeting fad. Today’s gold accents are not gaudy, they are applied with taste to create a sense of understated luxury. When used functionally as sliding glass door handles, gold finishes can complement the overall design without overwhelming the space. Metallic finishes are a major trend in contemporary design, and gold’s versatility allows it to seamlessly integrate with a variety of palettes and styles.

The Art of Accessorizing with Hardware

Just like a perfectly chosen piece of jewelry can elevate an outfit, thoughtful accessorizing is vital in creating a cohesive look in design. Hardware plays a crucial role in this process. Think of door handles as the finishing touch on your wall slide doors or swing doors – the element that ties the entire design together. The right hardware can elevate a sliding door from a functional element to a stunning focal point. By carefully selecting hardware that complements the overall design style and material choices, you can not only enhance the functionality of the door but also inject a touch of personality and luxury into the space.

The perfect combination of modern design and timeless sophistication.

Ready to Transform Your Next Project?

Are you currently developing any projects that would benefit from a touch of gold? The Sliding Door Company offers a wide range of high-quality solutions that are perfect for both residential and commercial spaces. We invite you to explore our range of solutions, all meticulously crafted to enhance functionality and aesthetics.

Beyond The Glass: See Through It All

Do you enjoy skimming through design magazines looking for inspiration? Maybe you’re an avid HGTV fan or follow your favorite influencers who share stunning images of completed projects and talk about current design trends. No matter where or how you gather information about design, we’re sure you’ve seen interior sliding glass doors peppered throughout magazines, social media accounts, and on TV.

Interior sliding glass doors have become a cornerstone of modern architecture, offering innovative solutions for both design and function in a variety of applications. At The Sliding Door Company we don’t usually follow trends, we set them. We introduced interior sliding glass doors to the market in 2005 and we continue to elevate our offerings with upgrades and new products.

As leaders in the industry, we equip trade professionals with the right products and high-end customization options to craft exceptional spaces. This is why we’re thrilled to unveil a new collection of visuals that highlights the wide range of glass opacity options available to our clients and partners.

The Power of Choice

What exactly is glass opacity and why does it matter? Opacity refers to the degree to which light passes through a material. We give our clients a spectrum of possibilities from crystal clear and varying levels of diffusion, along with unmatched black glass for complete privacy.

This seemingly simple concept has a significant impact on the design of any space. Clear glass doors will maximize the natural light that flows into a space and foster a sense of openness, a translucent option will provide a softer, diffused glow and opaque glass brings a level of privacy, which makes it a great option for a dedicated workspace in a larger room.

From crystal clear to beautifully blurred, explore the world of glass opacity with The Sliding Door Company (Glass opacity from left to right: Clear, Frosted, Smoked Clear, Mirror, Black)

We know that modern architecture and design are all about customization, and designers and homeowners are increasingly seeking out solutions that balance the need for light and open-concept spaces with the need for privacy. With the range of glass opacity options available at The Sliding Door Company, you can create dynamic and functional spaces that cater to every aspect of a client’s desired lifestyle.

Explore the Benefits of Glass Opacity

There are many levels of glass opacity to consider when planning what type of glass you want to use for your project. Each style offers numerous benefits:

Do you enjoy sitting in a room that is flooded with bright light? Clear glass might be the optimal choice as it will bathe your space in natural light, offering the chance to connect with the outdoors and create a feeling of spaciousness. Imagine clear glass walls featured in modern corporate offices, where notes can be written directly on the glass and colleagues are offered the privacy of closing a door while staying connected to the team.

Transparency in action – clear glass doors separate offices while keeping the light flowing and fostering collaboration.

Frosted glass provides the coveted benefits of diffused light transmission while maintaining a sense of privacy. It’s perfect for open floor plans or small spaces, allowing light to flow freely while subtly separating functional areas like a home office from the living room.

Home office haven – frosted glass keeps work and life separate in this studio apartment.

Color is often used in design to bring attention to something else. With black glass, you can create a moody, sleek ambiance that acts as a backdrop for vibrant furniture or a precious piece of art you want to highlight. Not to mention that this option also provides complete privacy, making it a solid choice for a guest bedroom.

Sleek and sophisticated – black tinted glass adds a touch of modern elegance.

These options empower trade professionals to create truly dynamic interiors across a range of spaces. Whether you’re working on an office, multi-family, hospitality, medical facility, or a residential project you’ll find that each of these floor plans can be transformed with interior glass doors.

For bathrooms and bedrooms where privacy is paramount, black glass or mirrored doors provide the perfect solution, eliminating bright light for a secluded space.

A co-working office space might opt for combo glass, which balances the need for privacy and focused work with a sense of connection and collaboration. Retail stores can utilize clear or tinted glass storefronts to showcase their products while maintaining a sense of visual intrigue. Medical facilities can make their space more open and welcoming with glass enclosures that limit the spread of germs and maintain patient privacy.

Design with Confidence

At The Sliding Door Company, we’re passionate about partnering with business owners, homeowners, and trade professionals to create unforgettable spaces. Whether you are looking for partition walls to utilize in a corporate project, room dividers for a modern multi-family design, or glass barn doors for a unique residential build, we look forward to being part of your next project.

We invite you to explore our new glass opacity photos, featured as a customization option for each product offering and inspiring a stunning array of design possibilities. We also provide resources for trade pros, including downloadable sliding door specs and CAD files, to streamline the design process and ensure flawless execution.
