Remember the old sliding glass doors at your parents’ house years ago? You know, the ones that would get hung up and jump off track all the time. The screen wouldn’t work, the locking mechanism would never engage. Well I’m happy to tell you that our sliding glass door units are nothing like their faulty predecessors!
On a design trip to Palm Springs nine years ago we happened upon an awesome glass door manufacturer named Fleetwood Doors. To the envy of other Austin Texas home builders, we quickly went to work designing our first disappearing glass wall system which was the hit of the Flintrock Falls Showcase of Homes in 2004. Since then we have installed over 30 Fleetwood door systems to the delight of our distinctive clientele.
This door system features dual-paned low-E glass for energy efficiency, a sleek aluminum frame that maximizes the glass area and a surprisingly smooth and easy gliding motion – especially when you consider the size and weight of each panel. It’s the perfect design element for those wanting to accentuate a view or maximize the flow from inside the home to the popular outdoor covered living area.
Like any other product application, there are tricks to locating and setting up these special door systems that can only come from experience. Nobody knows how to design and install a Fleetwood door system more effectively than Sterling Custom Homes. We’d love to design your next custom home around this exciting feature!
