Innovative Frameless & Framed Folding Doors by Glass Curtains USA
Glass Curtains USA has pioneered innovative folding door technology since its inception as part of the global Glass Curtains International network. Our patented systems revolutionized frameless glazing with the world's first water-tight frameless folding doors and the slimmest thermally broken framed options. With operations spanning 16 countries across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania, we combine international expertise with localized precision engineering. Our dual-glazed aluminum framed doors achieve an exceptional glass-to-frame ratio of less than 2.5" sight lines while maintaining structural integrity at DP 50 ratings. The proprietary Sidelock System compresses panels for unmatched security and weather resistance, achieving 0.12 cfm/ft air infiltration ratings.Our bottom-weighted, roller-free design utilizes self-lubricating Teflon glides for smooth operation and longevity. Available in configurations up to 10-foot panel heights with unlimited horizontal expansion, our systems accommodate both inswing and outswing applications. The patent-pending Flying Door System offers fully retractable integration within frameless systems. Backed by rigorous testing to ASTM E 331 standards and wind resistance up to 173 mph, our products represent the pinnacle of folding door technology. With showrooms in Solana Beach and Brentwood, California, we serve residential and commercial clients seeking seamless architectural transitions.
