The first important note about the CLAROFLEX SLIDE and PIVOT systems is they are equally applicable in commercial and residential settings. Whether you’re a restaurant looking to capitalize on your view, a business in the hospitality industry that wants to make a dramatic and modern design statement, or a private homeowner who simply loves the look of floor-to-ceiling glass, a CLAROFLEX system can be a great fit in any of these instances.

5 Most Common Uses for CLAROFLEX Frameless Glazing
-
Terraces
Does your home have a lovely terrace that could be enhanced with frameless glazing? Whether you’re looking to keep the bugs out or you want a bit of shelter from inclement weather, frameless glazing is an amazing way to retain your views while keeping the open-air feel of an existing terrace.
-
Balconies
From apartments to condos to single-family residences, lots of home types contain balconies. These offer a slew of benefits:
- Great for natural light
- A pleasant place to work
- An area to grow plants or veggies
- A space for your pets to relax
- Additional space for entertaining
To get even more out of your balcony, consider enclosing it with frameless glazing. This will help you retain all the benefits of the space while adding the upsides of protection from bugs, pollen, wind, and moderate temperature changes.
-
Porches
Screened-in porches are a perennially popular choice for outdoor living spaces, but one trend is becoming increasingly prevalent in this arena: the ability to seamlessly transform the enclosed area into an outdoor-air space.
This can be achieved in a number of ways. Maybe it’s using retractable screens, or perhaps it’s with a system like CLAROFLEX, which can either be slid open or pivoted open (depending on the chosen system).
In any case, the ability to switch between being enclosed and open air is of increasing interest to homeowners.
-
Decks
Transform any deck into a stunning enclosed area with a CLAROFLEX system. Preserve your views while adding to the usable square footage of the home.
