The Disappearing Glass Wall
By
Nothing creates the seamless flow from inside to outside like a 20’ disappearing glass wall! In 2004, Sterling Custom Homes introduced this innovative concept to the Austin area in a Showcase Home built in Flintrock Falls. Since then we have installed more than 30 disappearing glass walls in the Austin custom homes that we design and build for our clients.
Pocketing into a wall cavity, these glass sliding doors are quite dramatic. Even when closed, the view through the expansive glass is truly impressive. When installed in a home this door system typically opens up to a large, covered outdoor living space. Toss in a lake or Hill Country view and you have one of the most impressive features imaginable!
The disappearing glass wall is the perfect addition to a custom home; especially for those who enjoy entertaining family and friends. This design creates an open flow, where guests can mingle comfortably both inside and outside.
Lake Travis custom homes builder Sterling Custom Homes has mastered the technical aspects of designing and installing this type of system, insuring that the doors remain as functional as they are appealing.
To learn more about how we can design your home around this magnificent feature, call Gary Grambley at 512-263-2214 or visit the Sterling Custom Homes website.

We are building our house and at this time we have the house framed and roof scheduled in the next few days 7-14. We have a wall that we want to create in glass that measures 9′wide 10′in height. I have some plans but the space opens our main living room out to the covered patio area. Can you help us with portion of the build. I have viewed several systems on the web, but then started looking for local builders/suppliers. My cell is 512-632-7791 available M-F 7-3

Lefty,
Thanks for visiting our blog! That is not something that we could help you with. I suggest you contact your architect, window supplier and framer to create the proper structure for the change.
Thank you,
Gary
