GlassLine ™ Hinged Glass Door

Architectural aluminium-framed glass sliding doors designed to create flexible, light-filled connections between interior spaces.

ZAUS GlassLine™ Sliding Glass Doors extend the GlassLine™ architectural door system into a sliding format, combining precision aluminium framing with architectural glass and space-efficient horizontal movement.

Each system can be developed around the project drawings and opening dimensions, allowing the glass selection, aluminium frame, sliding configuration, track system, handles and functional hardware to be coordinated as one complete architectural door package.

From single sliding doors between compact rooms through to larger double and multi-panel openings, GlassLine™ allows spaces to connect or separate while maintaining natural light, visual continuity and a refined architectural expression.

Aluminium-Framed Sliding System

GlassLine™ uses a precision aluminium frame to support the glazed door construction while maintaining a visually lightweight appearance.

Depending on the selected manufacturer-supported system, configurations can include:

• Single sliding doors

• Double sliding doors

• Bi-parting configurations

• Multi-panel arrangements

• Larger architectural openings

• Wall-mounted sliding configurations

• Custom project-specific arrangements

• Coordinated tracks, guides and hardware

The appropriate configuration is developed according to the opening dimensions, available wall space, glass specification and intended operation.

Architectural Glass

Glass selection determines the transparency, privacy and overall character of the GlassLine™ system.

Depending on the applicable manufacturer range, options can include:

• Clear glass

• Frosted glass

• Reeded glass

• Fluted glass

• Selected decorative glass

• Other project-specific glass treatments where supported

Final glass type, thickness, treatment and suitability should be confirmed against the applicable manufacturer-supported system and intended application before manufacture.

Clear Glass

Clear glass provides the greatest degree of transparency and visual connection between adjoining spaces.

Combined with the sliding configuration, this can create defined rooms that retain a greater sense of openness when the doors are closed.

Clear GlassLine™ sliding doors can be particularly effective between living areas, dining rooms, kitchens, home offices and other spaces where maintaining light and visual connection is important.

Frosted Glass

Frosted glass provides increased visual privacy while retaining the light-transmitting characteristics of a glazed door.

This makes it suitable for spaces where separation is required without introducing the visual weight of a conventional solid sliding door.

The degree of transparency and privacy depends on the selected glass treatment and should be confirmed against the applicable manufacturer sample.

Reeded & Fluted Glass

Reeded and fluted glass introduce linear texture while diffusing light and partially obscuring direct visibility.

The vertical pattern can provide additional architectural character and coordinate with contemporary joinery, wall panelling and other linear detailing throughout the interior.

Different patterns can provide different levels of transparency and visual distortion, allowing the glass to be selected according to both aesthetic and privacy requirements.

Decorative Glass

Selected decorative glass treatments can provide additional design options where a more distinctive architectural expression is required.

Pattern, texture, colour and transparency vary according to the applicable manufacturer-supported glass collection.

Final selections should therefore be made against physical samples or documented manufacturer options before production.

Single Sliding Doors

Single sliding configurations allow one glazed door panel to travel horizontally across the adjoining wall or within the applicable sliding arrangement.

This eliminates conventional door swing clearance and can provide greater flexibility where furniture, cabinetry or circulation restricts the available space around an opening.

Single sliding systems can be particularly useful for:

• Home offices

• Pantries

• Walk-in robes

• Bedrooms

• Hallways

• Kitchens

• Compact residential interiors

The available wall length and required clear opening should be considered when determining the final door dimensions.

Double & Bi-Parting Systems

Double and bi-parting GlassLine™ configurations use two glazed door panels opening away from the centre.

This allows wider connections between adjoining spaces while retaining the ability to close and define individual rooms when required.

Applications can include:

• Living and dining connections

• Kitchens and entertaining spaces

• Home offices

• Media rooms

• Master suites

• Larger residential openings

• Flexible open-plan interiors

Door dimensions, glass weight, track capacity and operating hardware are coordinated according to the selected configuration.

Multi-Panel Sliding Systems

Where supported by the selected manufacturer system, multiple GlassLine™ panels can be incorporated across larger architectural openings.

Multi-panel systems can provide greater flexibility where spaces need to transition between open and separated configurations.

Panel dimensions, track arrangement, stacking requirements, guides and operating sequence should be resolved as part of the architectural design before manufacture.

Large-Format Openings

GlassLine™ can be considered for larger internal openings where glazed doors are intended to form a significant architectural element within the interior.

Larger sliding panels can maintain transparency and light across substantial openings while providing the ability to physically separate adjoining spaces.

Final configuration depends on:

• Opening width and height

• Panel dimensions

• Glass specification

• Panel weight

• Aluminium-frame construction

• Track capacity

• Stacking requirements

• Hardware configuration

The complete door and movement system should therefore be developed together.

Frame Profiles

The aluminium frame provides both the structural support and visual perimeter of each GlassLine™ sliding panel.

Slim architectural profiles can reduce the visual weight of larger glazed doors while providing definition against the surrounding wall and interior finishes.

Final profile dimensions and construction are determined according to the selected manufacturer system, panel dimensions, glass specification and hardware requirements.

Frame Finishes

GlassLine™ aluminium framing can be coordinated with selected manufacturer-supported finishes.

Available finish directions can include:

• Matte black

• White

• Metallic or brushed finishes

• Selected project-specific finishes where supported

Frame finishes can be considered alongside surrounding joinery, window framing, architectural hardware and other metalwork to establish a consistent interior material language.

Final colours and surface treatments should be confirmed against applicable manufacturer samples before production.

Track Systems

The sliding track is selected according to the dimensions, weight and configuration of the glazed panels.

Depending on the applicable manufacturer-supported system, configurations can incorporate:

• Single-panel tracks

• Double-door tracks

• Bi-parting arrangements

• Multi-panel tracks

• Streamlined track systems

• Compatible concealed track arrangements where supported

Track capacity and compatibility should be confirmed against the complete door specification before manufacture.

Soft-Close Operation

Compatible GlassLine™ configurations can incorporate soft-close hardware where supported by the selected sliding system.

Soft-close mechanisms provide more controlled panel movement approaching the open or closed position.

Compatibility depends on panel dimensions, glass weight, frame construction and the applicable hardware system and should be confirmed before specification.

Floor Guides & Panel Alignment

Compatible floor guides can be incorporated to maintain alignment and control panel movement during operation.

Guide selection and positioning depend on the sliding configuration, panel construction, track arrangement and surrounding floor conditions.

Where continuous architectural flooring passes through the opening, guide requirements should be considered early so the sliding system and finished floor can be resolved together.

Handles & Sliding Hardware

GlassLine™ Sliding Glass Doors can be coordinated with compatible hardware according to the selected aluminium profile and sliding configuration.

Depending on the applicable system, this can include:

• Flush pulls

• Recessed pulls

• Edge pulls

• Architectural pull handles

• Selected locking hardware

• Soft-close mechanisms

• Floor guides

• Sliding tracks

Handle projection, panel overlap and stacking requirements should be considered together to maintain practical operation.

Space Planning

Sliding operation can provide significant advantages where conventional hinged-door clearance would conflict with the surrounding interior.

Potential benefits can include:

• Reduced door-swing requirements

• Greater furniture-placement flexibility

• Improved circulation

• Wider connections between rooms

• Flexible open-plan layouts

• Efficient use of compact spaces

• Ability to temporarily divide larger interiors

The appropriate sliding configuration should nevertheless be selected according to the actual room layout and functional requirements of the opening.

Light & Visual Connection

GlassLine™ allows physical separation between rooms without completely interrupting light or visual continuity.

This can be particularly valuable where a sliding door is used to create flexible spaces that need to feel connected when closed.

The degree of visual connection can be adjusted through the glass selection, allowing the system to range from highly transparent clear-glass compositions through to more private frosted, reeded or decorative treatments.

Privacy Planning

Glass should be selected according to the level of privacy required by each space.

Selection can consider:

• Room function

• Required privacy

• Natural light

• Sightlines

• Interior orientation

• Adjacent circulation

• Desired architectural character

Clear glass provides the greatest visual connection, while frosted, reeded, fluted and selected decorative treatments can reduce direct visibility while retaining light transmission.

Integration with Interior Finishes

GlassLine™ can be coordinated with the broader architectural material palette rather than treated as an isolated glazed opening.

Frame and glass selections can be considered alongside:

• Custom joinery

• Timber finishes

• Wall panelling

• Cabinetry

• Architectural hardware

• Window framing

• Metal detailing

• Flooring

• Wall finishes

This allows the aluminium framing to either integrate quietly into the interior or become a deliberate contrasting architectural element.

GlassLine™ Hinged Coordination

GlassLine™ Sliding Glass Doors can be coordinated with GlassLine™ Hinged Glass Doors where different opening types are required throughout the same project.

Using related frame finishes, glass selections and architectural detailing across both systems can establish a consistent glazed-door language while allowing each opening to use the movement system best suited to its location. The established hinged GlassLine™ range follows the same approach of coordinating frame, glass and hardware as a complete architectural door package.

Final compatibility and available configurations are confirmed against the applicable manufacturer-supported systems.

Whole-of-Project Door Coordination

GlassLine™ Sliding Glass Doors can form part of the broader ZAUS architectural door and hardware package.

Custom Entry Doors • Linear™ Precision Interior Doors • Atelier™ Collection Interior Doors • Eclipse™ Concealed Interior Doors • Glide™ Pocket & Sliding Door Systems • AquaShield™ Series Interior Doors • GlassLine™ Hinged Glass Doors • GlassLine™ Sliding Glass Doors • Door Frames & Architraves • Architectural Door Hardware • Project Door Packages

This allows solid, glazed, hinged, concealed and sliding door systems to be allocated according to the architectural and functional requirements of individual openings while remaining part of one coordinated project door schedule.
