Enjoy the View You Have Always Dreamed Of
Most Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners with a terrace, balcony, or open patio have to choose between weather protection and an unobstructed view. Fixed walls block the view. Open spaces leave you exposed.
The NovaSun Horizon sliding glass wall system from Double T Screened Patios eliminates that trade-off. Smooth-sliding glass panels open your space completely when conditions are perfect and close seamlessly for full weather protection when they are not, with no corner profiles obstructing your sightlines and no fixed framing interrupting the glass.

Where the NovaSun Horizon System Works
The Horizon system is designed for both residential and commercial applications. Here is where Double T Screened Patios installs it most frequently across Dallas-Fort Worth:
Create a seamless indoor-outdoor transition on elevated terraces and balconies, maximizing your view and natural light while providing full weather protection when panels are closed.
Integrate sliding glass walls into existing patio or sunroom structures for a contemporary, light-filled enclosure that feels more open than any fixed glass alternative.
Enclose outdoor dining areas, hotel terraces, and rooftop spaces with a system engineered for commercial use. The smooth operation and minimalist aesthetic suit high-end hospitality environments.
Bring natural light and outdoor connection into office environments, lobbies, and meeting spaces through full-height or partial glass wall configurations.
The Horizon system works equally well indoors as a room divider or winter garden wall, maintaining visual connection between spaces while providing acoustic separation.
Key Technical Features
01
Patented Smart Cap Design
The Smart Cap system does more than cap the panel end. It pulls the panel correctly along the track and enhances the insulation solution simultaneously. It also corrects glass measurement errors of up to 10mm per side, or 20mm total, eliminating the field sizing issues common in large glass wall installations.
02
Concealed Handles and Seals
All operating handles and weather seals are concealed within the panel profile. The result is a sliding panel that looks completely frameless in operation, with no visible hardware interrupting the glass surface.
03
10mm Tempered Glass Construction
All Horizon panels use 10mm tempered glass as standard. The glass thickness contributes directly to the system’s soundproofing performance, its structural integrity under wind load, and the robust feel of the panel during operation.
04
Five Locking System Options
Security is configured for your specific application. Choose from a sturdy hook lock, espagnolette lock, smart lock, secure wall system, or stainless steel locking hardware depending on the security level required for your space.
05
Full-Height and Partial Wall Configurations
The Horizon system is not limited to full-height installations. Partial wall configurations are available for applications where a knee wall or lower glass section is the right design choice for the space.
06
Minimal Aluminum Profile Visibility
The aluminum framing profiles are designed to be as discreet as possible, keeping the visual focus on the glass and the view beyond it. The result is a wall that reads as glass rather than aluminum at normal viewing distances.
