The addition of frameless glass doors will instantly increase the value of your home or business by expanding usable space, opening up your floor plan and bringing incredible vistas into your property. You’re guaranteed to win big with Cover Glass.
-
stack
-
In Nevada, we know how to throw an unforgettable party, and there’s nothing worse than cramming all of your guests into a too small space. With Cover Glass’ slim panels, your entryways and spaces will magically open up. They’re the thinnest stack in the industry only taking up one inch per panel. It’s the perfect way to open up your home for backyard pool parties on blistering summer days or for busy restaurants wanting to fit in extra tables under the glowing neon lights of Las Vegas. In a matter of seconds your home or business will be transformed into an indoor/outdoor paradise.
-
Ventilation
-
Nevada is home to some of the highest temperatures in the country; when summer hits we’re lucky to have a day under the triple digits. Cover Glass’ frameless windows and doors are the perfect solution to ventilating your home or business in the midday heat. The panels can be slid partially open to let in a light morning breeze or easily closed up again when the sun sets and the desert cools down for the night.
-
Secure
-
Don’t roll the dice when it comes to your home or business’ security. Every one of our folding glass panels is made of cutting-edge tempered safety glass which is 5x stronger than regular glass. Not only will your property and valuables be protected from intruders and any blunt force objects like golf balls, but the panels will also withstand any afternoon winds that whip through the valley, up to 222-mph.
Most single-track systems can lift from the track, but not with our sliding glass wall system. It locks from the inside making the glass virtually impossible to tamper with. We like those odds.
-
Low-E
-
Weather here in Nevada has extremes, from sweltering summers to cold winters. Our advanced Low-E (low-emissivity) glass technology will improve your property’s energy efficiency and reduce energy usage, no matter the season. Our glass panels are coated with microscopic layers of metallic oxides and are of a higher and longer lasting quality than traditional clear glazed windows and doors. Leaving you with extra savings for dining, day trips to the Grand Canyon and doubling your bet at the blackjack tables.As an added bonus, this glass technology protects your home from unwanted strong Nevada UV rays that can damage your furniture and your skin.

FEATURES of folding glass doors
As a top hung glass manufacturer, our system relies on sturdy tracks or beams concealed in the ceiling in order to support the weight of the door beneath. The effortless gliding motion of our frameless glass makes opening, stacking and closing a breeze.
Since the wheel assembly of a top hung system remains fully enclosed inside the track, gravity sees to it that the mechanism stays clean and dirt-free thanks to its suspended state. Maintenance of a top hung slider is quite straightforward, with the boxed-in design allowing easy access to wheels and bearing sub-assemblies when necessary.
Another benefit to top hung frameless sliding glass doors is the ability to set the tracks into a foundation, completely flush with the floor surface. That means no more tripping over unseen ledges and worrying about cleaning nooks and crannies.
With no vertical frames between our frameless glass, you will enjoy a new level of clarity that few homeowners experience in today. We use UV protected translucent polycarbonate channel, which directly interlocks and tightly seals into the next panel.
With a unique specialization in creating custom openings for clients, we’re able to install frameless sliding glass doors in a variety of interior and exterior locations. At Cover Glass, the only limitation is your imagination.
Flexibility and functionality are at the forefront of what makes our folding glass doors such a special product. Because each glass panel slides individually, you will have the seamless ability to open the glass system entirely, create air gaps for natural ventilation, open one panel, combine two panels in the center–the choice is yours
Our standard locking hardware is much more robust than what you find in other frameless glass doors.
We use two deadbolts: one at the top and one at the bottom of the first opening panel. Unlike other glass door systems, there are no floating handles, which means that it is virtually impossible to enter from the outside.
We also provide nonstandard options for clients that favor a handle or want key entry access from the exterior. Another choice is a lock on every panel.
You can pick the solution you feel the most comfortable with for security reasons and to match your lifestyle.
Once the system is opened and stacked, we make sure our panels remain stacked thanks to magnetized technology on each of glass panel. This prevents the frameless glass doors from moving out of place if a strong gust of wind comes, or if anyone happens to walk into them if not paying attention.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION of folding glass doors
The upper and lower profile of our frameless glass system consists of a uniquely designed steering track which suspends from the top-hung position and is gently supported from the lower base. Made with stainless steel fasteners at the top and bottom position, each folding glass panel is fixed into glazing channels, ensuring each piece of frameless glass fits seamlessly and securely.
One of the best advantages of our track system is the ability to match the lower profile with your finished flooring on either side. The lower profile is available in a variety of different colors that can be customized to match your interior design. Additionally, the top profile and side jambs can all be covered as all parts operate inside of the profile. Cover Glass has a variety of options suitable for any style of Nevada home – from classical architecture to the ultra-modern.
Once we have a clean opening from you or your contractor, the installation of our frameless glass doors is a very simple two-step process. However, we will need any obstruction to be removed before installation begins, which includes having the header and sides both exposed.
If you want to recess the bottom track so that it matches with your finished flooring, we need the cut into the floor to be provided beforehand. We will work with you and/or your contractor to provide all the necessary details.
PHASE 1:
The initial stage of the installation consists of weatherproofing the frameless glass, installation of the top and bottom track, and the drilling of weep holes or drainpipes (depending on your property requirements). Once complete, we’ll then laser measure and reserve the tempered glass from our supplier base.
PHASE 2:
Once we acquire the sliding glass doors from our supplier, we will then fit the glass into the tracks and complete the installation process. In terms of installation duration, it takes approx. one working day per 18 feet of track or glass and a total lead time of just under a month fully installed. This may vary depending on a variety of factors including (but not limited to) pre-existing schedules and customer demand.
We do our own draining at Cover Glass, which is a huge benefit to our customers. This is done in either of two ways: 1.) Drilling weep holes 2.) Installing drainpipes.
For weep holes, we drill individual holes at the base of the track, allowing any water that hits the glass to easily disperse.
For drainpipes, we utilize the same lower profile of the track as weep holes and attach connectors to our pipes. If any water hits the frameless glass it will trickle down the system, run into the track and automatically weep away from the panels. The drainpipes will be connected to any landscape or any other drainage systems that you might have to remove the water efficiently and properly.
At Cover Glass, we use special polycarbonate UV protected weatherstrips that completely seal your system and protect your property. When two glass panels come together at the H-Channel, there is an automatic interlocking that occurs, protecting your property from any moisture, wind or air that tries to get through. Additionally, because Cover Glass uses UV protected weather-strip technology, your system will never become brittle or yellow.
