Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Railglass sliding glass system work?

Railglass uses sliding glass panels that move horizontally to open or enclose the space. The panels can be repositioned depending on how open you want the patio to feel, giving you flexibility between a more open-air environment and a more protected setting without permanently enclosing the area.

Can Railglass protect my patio from wind and bad weather?

Yes. When the panels are closed, Railglass can help reduce direct exposure to wind and changing weather conditions, creating a more comfortable and sheltered outdoor environment. It is designed to improve protection while still preserving visibility and natural light.

Will sliding glass make my patio feel closed in?

Not necessarily. Railglass is designed to maintain the visual connection to the outdoors through large transparent glass surfaces. Even when the panels are closed, natural light and exterior views remain part of the space, helping the patio feel bright, open, and connected rather than boxed in.

Can Railglass be installed with a bioclimatic pergola?

Yes. Railglass can be integrated with a bioclimatic pergola to create a more adaptable outdoor living environment. The pergola provides overhead control, while Railglass adds side protection and enclosure when needed. The two systems can be planned together so they function and look like one cohesive architectural solution.

What is the difference between Railglass and Upglass?

The main difference is how the glass moves. Railglass uses horizontally sliding panels, while Upglass uses motorized glass panels that move vertically. Railglass is ideal when you want a traditional sliding opening along the perimeter, while Upglass provides a more automated vertical opening experience. The best choice depends on the layout, architecture, and how you want to use the space.
