Frameless Glass Enclosures
Weather Resistant Frameless Glass Doors and Enclosures
If you live in an apartment that has a balcony or terrace with floor and ceiling, create your own ‘conservatory’ by enclosing the area with our Frameless Glass Doors. This would prolong its use during seasons of cool breezes and rain showers and provide additional living space.
SunSeeker tempered glass could be used to replace the doors to your summer house or garage, creating a bright and comfortable space to use for leisure and pleasure. Frameless Glass Doors are also ideal to enclose the sides of covered swimming pools, defending pool users from cool blasts of wind.
Applications and Use Cases
Residential Applications
Our Frameless Glass Doors can help you make the most of your living space, patio, and garden year-round. For example, they make perfect terrace or balcony enclosures for apartments, helping owners make the most of available living space and the surroundings.
By enclosing a patio with glass or an outdoor swimming pool with our retractable glass walls, you can create a barrier against wind and debris. These enclosures also suit summer houses and garages, bringing in natural light and creating bright, airy environments ideal for relaxation or hobbies.
Cabanas and Gazebos
Frameless glass walls are perfect for enclosing cabanas and gazebos, making them usable throughout the year and providing excellent weather protection.
Commercial Applications
Restaurants and cafés can use frameless glass enclosures to create inviting outdoor dining areas that protect patrons from adverse weather while maintaining an open atmosphere and without sacrificing visibility or light.
Customisation Options
Frameless glass enclosures can be tailored to fit unique areas and architectural designs. Bespoke options include tinted, mirrored, and anti-sun glass to meet specific needs.
About SunSeeker Frameless Glass Doors and Enclosures
The advantages of frameless glass doors are the exceptional amount of light that can pass through the doorway, whether the doors are open or closed, and the virtually uninterrupted panoramic viewing capability. Please view our photo gallery of glass door installations.
Frameless Glass Doors comprise a frameless door that opens conventionally plus a number of tempered glass panels that can slide along tracks to the end of the opening, then open to rest inconspicuously against the end wall, maximising the access space. If you just want to let some air flow, the panels can be positioned anywhere along the track.
Whether you have a French door size opening or several metres of arched cloisters, SunSeeker Frameless Glass Doors could expand your usable space and will be manufactured for a perfect fit.
Also available as room partitions and with a number of glass options (at extra cost) including tinted or mirrored, Frameless Glass Doors can be used wherever building regulations allow (i.e. single glazed applications may not be used on an external house wall, but they can be installed on out-buildings). They are ideal for commercial applications, such as restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are frameless glass enclosures?
Frameless glass enclosures (also known as glass patio enclosures) are structures made entirely of glass panels without visible frames, providing an unobstructed view and sleek modern design. They are used for a range of applications including balconies, porches, patios, terraces, verandas, and winter gardens or roof gardens.
How do frameless glass bifolding doors work?
Our frameless glass bifolding doors use a slide-and-turn mechanism. Each panel slides along a track and pivots to stack neatly at the side, maximising the opening space. This design offers flexibility and space-saving benefits, making frameless glass patio enclosures the perfect solution for a huge range of outside areas.
Can I use frameless glass doors for my patio?
Yes, SunSeeker’s Frameless Glass Doors make excellent retractable glass patio enclosures. Our double-glazed frameless patio doors are also suitable as external doors, such as between your kitchen or living room and patio or garden. All-glass patio enclosures provide clear views, natural light, and protection from the weather, making your patio usable all year round.
What types of glazing are available for frameless glass enclosures?
We offer various glazing options including tinted glass for additional privacy, laminated glass for increased safety, and anti-sun glass to reduce glare and heat. Whether you’re creating a glass sunroom, winter garden, swimming pool area, glass door patio enclosure, or something else – we can advise you on the most suitable configuration.
What is the process for enclosing a balcony with glass?
The process involves a site survey to measure your space, custom manufacturing of the glass panels, and professional UK installation. Our frameless glass balcony enclosures are designed to withstand the elements and provide year-round use. For balcony enclosures in apartments, we ensure compliance with building regulations and offer a range of customisation options to suit your specific needs and project requirements.
Can I use frameless glass enclosures for commercial purposes?
Absolutely. Frameless glass panel patio enclosures are ideal for restaurants, cafés, and retail spaces, offering clear visibility, an open feel, and protection from adverse weather conditions.
What maintenance is required for frameless glass patio enclosures?
Frameless outdoor patio glass enclosures are low maintenance. Regular cleaning of the glass and occasional checks of the sliding mechanisms are usually sufficient to keep them in good condition. For frameless enclosures, we recommend using non-abrasive cleaners to maintain the clarity and longevity of the glass panels.
What is the installation timeline for frameless glass enclosures?
For most projects, such as glass door patio enclosures and balcony glass enclosures for apartments, the typical timeline from site survey to installation is around four weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and customisation requirements.
Do frameless glass enclosures provide privacy?
We offer options like tinted or obscured glass for extra privacy while still allowing natural light to enter the enclosed area. Integral blinds (integrated blinds sealed between the panes of glass) are also available (requires double glazing).
Can these enclosures be used in complex architectural designs?
Yes, our frameless glass enclosures are made to measure and can be customised to fit complex designs and unique architectural structures, ensuring a perfect fit and finish. Please contact us if you have a unique requirement, and we will work with you to develop a bespoke solution for your frameless enclosure.
