Sliding Glazing for Pergolas and Terraces
Misteral sliding glazing encloses a pergola or terrace with glass while keeping the view open. Glass sliding walls without vertical frames protect against wind, rain and noise, while the panels can be stacked next to a post in just a few seconds. A terrace under a pergola can therefore be used from early spring to late autumn.
The panels are made of ESG-H toughened safety glass and run on a floor track with 1 to 6 tracks. All hardware is concealed within the profiles, and the profile colour can be matched to the pergola structure. Below you will find the available dimensions, opening options, detailed profile cross-sections and technical data.

Misteral bioclimatic pergola with sliding glazing: six panels, central opening.
Why Choose Misteral Sliding Glazing?
No vertical frames
The panels are made entirely of glass, keeping the view of the garden, sea or mountains open even when the wall is closed. The hardware is concealed within the profiles.
ESG-H Toughened Safety Glass
The 8 or 10 mm thick glass is toughened and heat-soak tested. For panel heights of 2,300 mm and above, 10 mm glass is used.
Threshold-Free Access
The recessed floor track is installed into the paving, creating a level passage suitable for people with reduced mobility and baby strollers (DIN 18025). An surface-mounted track is available for existing terraces.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The ball-bearing rollers run quietly and can be adjusted by up to 5 mm. When opening or closing, each panel automatically pulls the adjacent panel, allowing the wall to be opened with one movement.
Protection from Wind, Rain and Noise
When closed, the panels overlap by approximately 25 mm. Sound insulation is up to Rw = 17 dB, while wind resistance is class 4 according to EN 12210 (P1 = 1,600 Pa), verified separately for each dimension.
Matched to the Misteral Pergola
The glazing, pergola, ZIP roller blinds and lighting are installed by the same team and coordinated in terms of dimensions and colours. All glossy RAL colours are standard.
Where Sliding Glazing Is Used
Bioclimatic Pergola
The front and side sections of a bioclimatic pergola attached to a house or a freestanding pergola in the garden.
Fixed Pergola and Canopy
A terrace beneath a fixed pergola or a pergola with a glass roof can be protected from wind on one or more sides.
Restaurant Terraces and Hotels
Outdoor seating can be used for longer during the season while guests retain the view.
Balconies and Loggias
A covered balcony or loggia becomes a protected space without visible frames.
Sliding Glazing Dimensions
Each panel is 600 to 1,600 mm wide and 1,100 to 3,000 mm high. As the height increases, the maximum panel width decreases because the panel weight is limited to 80 kg. Each panel runs on its own track, so on the side where the panels are stacked, the number of panels corresponds to the number of tracks.

How we calculate: glass width = (width between posts + (number of panels − 1) × 25 mm) ÷ number of panels, rounded down. The opening is the clear opening when the wall is fully open. The values are indicative; the exact glass dimensions are determined after measuring.
Opening Options
- Opening to the left: All panels stack on the left side. Each panel runs on its own track, so the number of panels on one side is equal to the number of tracks.
- Opening to the right: Mirror configuration: the panel package stacks on the right side, for example next to a wall or post.
- Central opening: Two groups of panels open to both sides. They close in the centre with a lock and a centred strike plate.
- 90° corner configuration: The tracks meet at a 90° angle in the corner (mitre joint). Other angles are possible on request.
- With a fixed panel: One panel is permanently locked but can be unlocked in an emergency. The remaining panels can be opened.
- Connection to a wall or post: The glazing is connected to a wall or post with a vertical profile or a brush seal on the panel.
Tracks for 1 to 6 Tracks
Each additional track adds 18.5 mm to the track width. The number of tracks is selected according to the wall width and opening configuration.

Sliding Glazing with ZIP Roller Blind
Sliding glazing can be combined with a ZIP roller blind on the same side of the pergola. The ZIP roller blind cassette is positioned below the pergola support beam, while the ceiling glazing track is screwed directly into the bottom of the cassette, so the glass is positioned below the cassette rather than next to it. The fabric runs on the outside of the glass. The glazing height is approximately 150 mm lower than the ZIP roller blind height.
The ZIP roller blind provides shade and privacy, while the glazing provides protection from wind and rain. Both systems can be operated independently.
Glass and Profile Colours
- ESG-H 8 mm: toughened safety glass with heat-soak testing, for panels up to 2,200 mm high
- ESG-H 10 mm: mandatory from a height of 2,300 mm, also available for lower panels (surcharge)
- Satined glass: sandblasted or etched for privacy (surcharge)
Profiles are available in all glossy RAL shades, DB703, DB703 fine structure and natural anodised finish E6-EV1. Matt surfaces and non-standard shades are available at an additional cost. For locations near the sea, pre-anodising is recommended. The colour is matched to the pergola. More about colours: pergola colour selection.

How the System Works
- Height adjustment: The ceiling track compensates for height tolerances of the upper structure by 16 to 20 mm.
- Roller adjustment: The roller height can also be adjusted after installation, by up to 5 mm.
- Drainage and cleaning: The sloped bottom of the floor track and shortened running tracks drain water without allowing it to accumulate. The track is easy to clean, while the anti-slip surface allows safe stepping on it.
- Panel overlap: When closed, the panels overlap by approximately 25 mm. Slanting rain stays outside while the space remains continuously ventilated.
- Carriages: The carriage housing, roller rocker and height adjustment are reinforced. The ball-bearing rollers run quietly and smoothly.
- Panel pullers: Each panel automatically pulls the adjacent panel, allowing the wall to be opened or closed with one movement. Cleaning the glass is also easier.
- Mounting profiles (optional): They simplify the installation of floor tracks while keeping the screws concealed.
- Track ends: The floor track is closed at both ends with end caps that also provide sealing.
Measurement and Preparation
- We measure the width at the top, centre and bottom, and the height on the left, centre and right, from the floor to the lower edge of the support beam or ZIP roller blind cassette. The smallest measurement is used for production.
- The floor track must be level and installed on a flat, load-bearing surface. When installing new paving, allow for a groove for the recessed track.
- For a quotation, we need the opening dimensions, a photo of the terrace, the type of flooring, the direction in which the panels will stack, the profile colour, the type of glass and information on whether there is a ZIP roller blind on this side.
From Inquiry to Installation
- Indicative quotation: Send us a photo of the terrace, the opening dimensions and your requirements. We will suggest the panel configuration and prepare an indicative quotation.
- On-site measurement: After preliminary approval, our technician measures the openings, checks the floor for the floor track and coordinates the connections to the pergola.
- Final quotation and order: We prepare the final quotation. The panels and tracks are made to measure.
- Installation and handover: The Misteral team carries out the installation, and upon handover you receive instructions for use and maintenance.
Send us a photo of your terrace and the opening dimensions. We will suggest the panel configuration, prepare an indicative quotation and arrange an on-site measurement. You can also view our pergolas and glazing systems in the showroom.
