What Is SlideClear?
SlideClear is a manufacturer of innovative glass operable wall systems built for both residential and commercial outdoor spaces. Based in Austin, Texas, they design and produce frameless glass panel systems, folding glass walls, vertically operable glass windows, and sliding glass enclosures that transform open-air areas into year-round living spaces. With over 30 years of experience in outdoor enclosure design, SlideClear partners with authorized dealers like Alta Outdoor Living to deliver custom-engineered solutions tailored to each project.
What sets SlideClear apart is their focus on early-stage design collaboration. Rather than showing up at the end of a project with a product that has to be forced to fit, SlideClear integrates glass engineering, pergola compatibility, and local code compliance from the very beginning. This approach prevents costly rework and delivers a finished product that looks and functions the way it should from day one.
SlideClear Products We Install
At Alta Outdoor Living, we install the full lineup of SlideClear products, and we’ll help you choose the right system for your space, your structure, and how you want to use it.
Glide – Frameless Multi-Slide Glass Walls
The Glide system features frameless sliding glass panels that move effortlessly on a track, stacking fully open when you want fresh air and closing completely when you need protection. Panels are available in 10mm or 12mm glass with aluminum frames, and can reach up to 4 feet wide and 10 feet tall. The recessed sill is ADA-compliant, and integrated handles and locking options keep things clean and secure. This is one of our most requested systems for homeowners who want flexibility without sacrificing the view.
ClearFOLD – Frameless Folding Operable Walls
ClearFOLD panels fold and stack to one side, creating a wide-open space when fully opened and a weathertight enclosure when closed. These systems use 10mm single-pane glass with aluminum frames and stainless steel hardware, and they're available in 2 to 7 panel configurations. The patented bottom-rolling system with a quick-locking floor channel makes installation faster and operation smoother. A built-in drainage module handles water management for exterior applications, and the system accommodates up to 20mm of deflection in the top beam without affecting performance.
Vertaslide – Vertically Operable Glass Walls
The Vertaslide system operates vertically rather than horizontally, giving you full control over airflow and ventilation at the touch of a button. These motorized panels can move upward to create a doorway or downward to form a guardrail, and they're available in both single and double-pane glass. Panels can reach up to 13 feet wide and 16 feet tall, and the Somfy wireless controls let you operate them by remote, app, wall switch, or central control integration. This system works well for larger openings where sliding or folding panels aren't practical.
Integration with Your Home & Outdoor Spaces
We design your conservatory to connect seamlessly with your home’s existing architecture and with adjacent outdoor features — decks, patios, garden areas, and pergolas — so the addition feels like it was always part of the plan.
SlideClear Features That Make a Difference
Aluminum Frame Systems
All SlideClear systems use aluminum framing that's lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and dimensionally stable across wide temperature swings. That matters in Colorado, where freeze-thaw cycles put constant stress on outdoor structures. We install these systems in a range of powder-coat colors to match your home.
Weathertight Performance
SlideClear systems are designed to block wind, rain, and cold while still delivering unobstructed views. Integrated drainage modules on folding systems and precision-engineered seals on sliding systems keep the elements out so you can stay comfortable year-round.
Smart Controls and Motorization
The Vertaslide system offers full motorized operation through Somfy wireless controls. You can operate your glass wall by remote control, smartphone app, wall switch, or central home automation integration. For the Glide and ClearFOLD systems, smooth manual operation is standard, with panels that move effortlessly on precision-engineered tracks.
Privacy and Lighting Options
SlideClear panels don't have to be fully transparent. We can integrate frosted panels, tinted glass, or privacy screen sections for areas where you want light without full visibility from neighbors. We can also wire your enclosed space for overhead lighting, accent lighting, ceiling fans, and electrical outlets so it's just as functional after dark.
SlideClear Projects We Build
SlideClear systems work beautifully across a wide range of outdoor spaces. We commonly install them for pergola enclosures that turn an open pergola into a protected outdoor room you can use in any weather, covered porch enclosures that add glass walls to an existing covered porch to create a true three- or four-season room, patio enclosures that transform an open patio without losing the views or natural light, deck enclosures that combine glass walls with an existing deck structure, and custom outdoor rooms built from the ground up as a standalone addition to your home.

What Our Customers Say About Us
EXCELLENT Based on 40 reviews Posted on Google Benjamin PaigeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with Alta during the quote and planning process. They were professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and very generous with their time. We really appreciated their honesty, integrity, and clear communication.Posted on Google Sophie ParkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alta put a louvered roof over our existing patio instead of replacing everything. Saved us money and time. Jon Potter explained that our concrete was still good, just needed the cover. The Azenco system they installed works with a remote - open it when we want sun, close it when it's too hot. Simple concept, works exactly like they said it would. Crew was professional, in and out in under a week. Good experience overall, would recommend them to friends in Greenwood Village.Posted on Google Lee RodgersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house in Cherry Creek is older, built in the 80s. Wasn't sure how a new deck would look with it. Dave Little took time to match the style instead of just slapping something modern on there. The privacy screens they designed fit the architecture. This deck builder actually cared about making it look right, not just functional. My partner was worried it would look out of place but it doesn't. Gets compliments from neighbors pretty regularly.Posted on Google Gabriela PerezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wasn't sure about spending this much on a deck. Jeff came to our place in Larkspur with actual samples, not just pictures. Showed us what composite looks like after a few years versus new. That helped. Jon Potter walked through the cost breakdown so we understood where the money was going. Decided to go for it. Four months later, using it almost every evening. Turns out it was worth it.Posted on Google Amber JenkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finally have a patio we actually use in the evenings. The fire pit Jeff Potter helped us design sits perfectly with our new deck and railings, and the cedar tongue-and-groove cover overhead keeps us dry when the weather turns. We're in Colorado Springs and weren't sure a Castle Rock company would want to make the drive, but they never once made it feel like an inconvenience.Posted on Google Rosie SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our deck in Larkspur was too hot to use most afternoons. Jon Potter added a louvered roof that we can close when the sun hits. Simple fix, works great. They also replaced the railings with something sturdier. My kids lean on them constantly and they haven't budged. Project stayed on schedule.Posted on Google Logan HayesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jon made everything clear, he was upfront about the cost and timeline, so there were no surprises at all. We had a louvered roof installed over our patio, and it turned out perfectly. The water now drains away from the house instead of pooling, which was a big issue for us before. The whole project was completed in just three weeks, and we’d definitely use them again.Posted on Google Miles HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were surprised at how easy Jon Potter made getting our deck approved and built. He handled all the paperwork and even accompanied us to the HOA review meeting, which really made a difference. The deck builder and privacy screens his team designed got approved on the first try, something that rarely happens in our neighborhood. The crew was respectful and quiet while working, which we appreciated since most of us work from home. Eight months later, the deck still looks fantastic and hasn’t required any maintenance.Posted on Google Jared WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were initially told by several deck builders that the cost to engineer a deck would be very high. Jeff Potter saw it differently and proposed a much simpler solution that fit the terrain perfectly without overcomplicating the design. The end result was a multi-level composite deck that feels natural and thoughtfully planned, not forced in any way. We later added an Azenco roof, and it blended seamlessly with the original deck layout. The pricing was fair, the project stayed on schedule, and the crew always made sure the site was cleaned up at the end of each day.Posted on Google Penelope CastilloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted to upgrade our deck in Monument without starting completely from scratch, and this team delivered exactly that. They reused the existing posts, which saved us a lot of money, and only replaced what truly needed work. Dave Little’s crew was efficient and thoughtful throughout the process. Jon even caught and fixed a drainage issue that no one else had brought up. The new Azenco louvered roof is perfect for adjusting shade, and since the project was finished in May, we’ve been using the deck almost every day.
FAQs
What is a SlideClear system?
A SlideClear system is a glass operable wall designed to enclose outdoor spaces while preserving open sightlines and natural airflow. These systems use frameless or aluminum-framed glass panels that slide, fold, or move vertically to give you full control over your environment. They’re engineered for year-round use and built to handle the demands of Colorado’s climate.
Can SlideClear systems be customized for my space?
Absolutely. Every SlideClear installation we do is custom-fit to your specific structure and layout. Whether you need a sliding, folding, or vertically operable system, panels are sized, configured, and finished to match your space. We also offer tinted glass, frosted panels, and privacy screen options to fit your preferences.
Are SlideClear systems suitable for both residential and commercial use?
Yes. SlideClear designs their systems for residential homes, restaurants, hospitality venues, and commercial properties alike. The same precision engineering and durable materials apply across all applications. At Alta Outdoor Living, we primarily serve homeowners across the Front Range, but the products themselves are built for any setting.
Do SlideClear systems require special maintenance?
SlideClear systems are built for low maintenance. The aluminum frames resist corrosion, and the glass panels clean easily with standard glass cleaner. Keeping the tracks clear of debris and giving them an occasional wipe-down is typically all it takes to keep everything operating smoothly for years.
