UltraGlide Slim Aluminum Door System

UltraGlide Slim is your go-to aluminum sliding or fixed door system designed for ultra-narrow sightlines, modern architecture, and spaces where maximizing the view is the top priority. With razor-thin frames, large glass capacity, and clean structural lines, UltraGlide Slim lets the outdoors take center stage—without sacrificing thermal or structural performance.

UltraGlide Slim

The Art of Less

  • Minimal Profiles: Sightlines as thin as 1.06" (27 mm) at the interlock, offering nearly frameless transparency.
  • Maximum Glass, Minimal Disruption: UltraSlim is engineered for large glass panels with minimal vertical interruptions—perfect for architectural showpieces.
  • Thermal Break Aluminum: Despite its slim frame, UltraSlim features polyamide thermal barriers and high-performance gaskets for solid energy efficiency.
  • Flexible Configuration: Available as fixed, sliding, or combination systems. Slim-line framing supports multi-panel layouts, stacking options, and cornerless transitions.
  • Modern Finish Options: Available in powder-coated matte black, anodized silver, bronze, or custom designer colors.

Where Design Takes the Lead

UltraGlide Slim is ideal for high-end homes, architectural renovations, and commercial spaces where clean lines, unobstructed views, and modern minimalism define the look. Pair it with minimalist hardware, floor-to-ceiling glass, or invisible corners for full architectural integration.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the UltraGlide Slim door.
What makes UltraGlide Slim different from traditional sliding doors?
UltraGlide Slim is engineered for ultra-narrow sightlines—down to 1.06 inches at the interlock—which means more glass and less visible frame. It’s the system of choice when aesthetics, light, and architectural lines matter most.
How energy efficient is UltraGlide Slim?
Despite its sleek profile, UltraSlim performs exceptionally well.
  • With dual-pane, U-values reach 0.26 Btu/(h·ft²·°F)
  • With triple-pane, as low as 0.18 Btu/(h·ft²·°F)
    That’s on par with many full-frame thermal doors, making it ideal for performance homes with a minimalist look.
Can UltraGlide Slim handle large glass panels?de Plus suitable for noise reduction?
Yes. Each panel can be up to 6.5 to 8 feet wide and up to 10 feet tall, depending on the configuration. It’s designed to handle oversized glass while keeping the frame ultra-thin.
Is UltraGlide Slim suitable for coastal or high-wind zones?
It is. The system is rated up to 75 psf for wind pressure and 12 psf for water infiltration, making it a great fit for exposed environments—including coastal builds or hillside homes.
Can this be used for corner or multi-panel openings?
Absolutely. UltraGlide Slim supports multi-panel stacking, cornerless openings, and integrated fixed/sliding combinations. It’s a highly flexible system designed for modern architecture.
Does UltraGlide Slim come in different colors or finishes?
Yes. You can choose from:
  • Matte black, white, silver, or bronze powder-coated finishes
  • Anodized aluminum
  • Woodgrain aluminum laminates
  • Custom colors are also available on request.
How secure is UltraGlide Slim?
Even with minimal frames, UltraSlim is built tough. It supports multi-point locking systems and is tested to meet RC2 security standards, equivalent to U.S. residential forced-entry resistance.
How much maintenance does it require?
Very little. The aluminum frame is corrosion-resistant and doesn’t require repainting, sealing, or staining. Occasional track cleaning and hardware checks are all it needs to stay smooth and secure.
