FrontSlide Glass Systems
Formerly known as FrontSlide Glass Systems
FS-SLFrameless sliding glass panels on aluminium rails that stack to one side for a fully open terrace — laminat VSG safety glass, concealed floor track, wind-protected enclosure when closed. Any RAL colour with TIGER Coatings.
Frameless Sliding Glass, Seamless Opening
FrontSlide is a frameless sliding glass panel system for terraces, verandas, and balconies. Individual glass panels (8–10mm tempered) run on slim aluminium top and bottom tracks with stainless steel roller carriages. Panels slide horizontally and stack against one side wall when fully opened, providing up to 90% clear opening. The track system is flush-mounted into the floor and ceiling/beam, creating an almost invisible frame when closed. Panels overlap by 20mm with brush seals for weather protection. The system accommodates openings from 2000mm to 6000mm in width. Standard panel widths are 600–800mm. No threshold bar protrudes above floor level — full accessibility compliance. Available with single glazing (8mm ESG) or insulated options.

PRODUCT ANSWERS
Practical answers about FrontSlide glass systems.
Use these answers when comparing a sliding glass wall route for terraces, balconies, hospitality openings and weather-protected outdoor rooms.
What is FrontSlide used for?
FrontSlide is used for frameless sliding glass walls where panels need to move horizontally, stack compactly and keep a terrace, balcony or restaurant opening visually open.
Compare glass systems →When is sliding glass better than folding glass?
Sliding glass is often the better route when compact track-guided movement, panel overlap and simple day-to-day operation matter more than a full-width folding opening.
Compare folding route →What should be checked before quotation?
Confirm opening width, track depth, drainage, threshold expectation, stacking side, wind exposure, glass type and whether the glass wall connects to pergola or veranda planning.
