Engineered for seamless Insulation
Weatherproofing windows is essential for lengthening the life of your home’s interior & furniture, as well as keeping you and your family safe. To ensure your system remains weatherproof, we use multiple protectants to prevent any damage from factors. Each panel uses translucent UV protected interlocking channels to protect your system from water and wind.
Below are the ways in which our weatherproof sliding glass protect your exterior frameless sliding glass door for improved function and aesthetics. Our weatherproof frameless windows come with interlocking channels, sealed tracks, track drains, and UV protection.
Interlocking Channels
By using translucent UV protected interlocking channels we are able to ensure a proper seal between panels of our weatherproof sliding glass doors and windows to protect our system and your home from water and wind.
Sealed Tracks
Before installing our track we cover the opening with Protecto Wrap, which meets ASTM 2112, and use Sikaflex, the industry's best sealant, to fill any remaining gaps. By doing this, we are able to prevent water from escaping the track and destroying your floors. Our track sealing allows us to install doors in 45°, 90°, 120°, 150°, 160°, 170°, and the standard 180° angles.
Track Drains
Depending on your exposure, we drill weep holes at the lowest point of the track to ensure any water that is collected from rain, pressure washing, etc. will drain out of the track. Ideally, one weep hole is added to each panel, but this varies depending on the project.

UV Protection
Weatherproofing is limited to foul weather days. The sun is capable of bleaching both furniture & floors. To combat sun bleaching a UV protective layer is added to all of our exterior sliding glass panels.
