All-glass automatic sliding doors across a transparent office entrance

Transparent Sliding Entrances

All Glass Automatic Sliding Doors

Plan a transparent entrance around frameless glass leaves, verified dimensions, safe movement, controls and a clearly defined supply scope.

  • Moving leaves without vertical or bottom frames
  • Minimal-frame option available
  • Operator, sensing and access interfaces coordinated

Product Definition

What Are All Glass Automatic Sliding Doors?

All glass automatic sliding doors use large glazed leaves to keep the entrance visually open while an overhead operator coordinates movement, sensing and control functions. This page primarily presents moving leaves without vertical or bottom perimeter frames.

A frameless appearance does not remove the need for system coordination. Glass construction, upper suspension, localized floor guides, fixed panels, sensors, access interfaces and the surrounding structure must be reviewed together.

Glass-Leaf Options

Choose the Glass-Leaf Expression

Both structures can be made. The full frameless option is the primary product direction on this page.

Full Frameless Moving Leaves

The moving glass leaves have no vertical or bottom perimeter frames. Upper suspension, localized floor guides and required hardware connections remain part of the coordinated entrance system.

Selection direction: Select this as the primary direction when uninterrupted transparency is central to the entrance design and the verified glass, load, floor and hardware conditions support the configuration.

Minimal-Frame Moving Leaves

Narrow profiles can be used at selected leaf edges when the project requires a more defined perimeter, additional edge protection or a specific profile finish.

Selection direction: Select this direction when visible profile protection or a defined frame expression is more important than the fully frameless appearance.

Decision Benefits

Why Consider an All-Glass Entrance?

Clear Architectural Sightlines

Reduced visible framing helps the entrance remain visually connected with the surrounding storefront, lobby, showroom or glazed interior.

A Deliberate Glass-Leaf Choice

Full frameless and minimal-frame directions can be compared before the operator, glass, fittings and surrounding structure are finalized.

Coordinated Automatic Movement

The glass leaves, overhead operator, activation sensing, presence-safety detection, controls and floor guidance are reviewed as one entrance system.

Project-Specific Supply Scope

We prioritize complete doors. Standalone operator systems and components generally support existing customers’ replacement, spare-part and repair needs; large-volume requests can be discussed separately.

System Coordination

What the Entrance System Includes

Labeled all-glass automatic sliding door system with operator, controller, sensor, track, glass leaves, fixed panels and floor guides

View Full-Size System Diagram

01

Concealed or Surface-Mounted Operator

Houses the drive and control components above the opening according to the supporting structure, service access and selected installation direction.

02

Motor and Belt Drive

Moves the selected glass leaves through the verified operator and hanger configuration.

03

Controller

Coordinates opening, closing, speed, hold-open time, operating modes and compatible connected signals.

04

Track and Hangers

Support and guide the moving leaves. Selection depends on verified glass construction, hardware, dimensions and moving weight.

05

Glass Leaves and Fixed Panels

Form the transparent entrance according to the approved layout, glass specification, edge treatment, holes, fittings and fixed-panel arrangement.

06

Activation Sensing

Detects approaching users or receives an approved activation signal from another control device.

07

Presence-Safety Detection

Monitors defined threshold, passage and moving-leaf areas according to the selected sensor arrangement.

08

Floor Guides, Access and Locking Interfaces

Provides localized lower guidance and connects compatible access-control, operating-mode and locking functions where required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the moving leaves have vertical or bottom frames?

The primary full frameless configuration uses moving glass leaves without vertical or bottom perimeter frames. Upper suspension, localized floor guides and required hardware connections remain part of the system.

Can SEPPES also provide a minimal-frame version?

Yes. Narrow profiles can be used at selected leaf edges when the project requires a defined perimeter or more visible edge protection. Profile position, finish, glazing and hardware must be confirmed.

Which glass options can be reviewed?

Tempered, laminated or insulated glass can be reviewed as common options. Final type, thickness, edge treatment, holes and fittings depend on the entrance and selected configuration.

How are the opening size and glass-leaf weight confirmed?

Review the structural opening, required passage, leaf dimensions, glass, fittings, fixed panels, movement direction and verified or calculated leaf weight against the selected operator.

What lower guidance is used without a bottom frame?

A frameless leaf still needs project-appropriate lower guidance. The localized guide arrangement depends on the leaf movement, floor condition, glass and hardware configuration.

Can the door connect to an access-control system?

Compatible readers, keypads, recognition devices, reception controls or building systems can be reviewed after the signal type, logic, locking and device responsibilities are confirmed.

Can the operator be concealed?

Concealed or surface-mounted installation can be reviewed as common directions. The supporting header, cover, service access, available overhead space and installation responsibilities must be confirmed.

What affects the quotation?

The opening, glass-leaf expression, glass construction and weight, operator, sensors, controls, interfaces, finish, quantity, supply scope, packaging and destination affect project review.
