Introducing the New Flush Sill: A Seamless Upgrade for Sliding Door Systems

Want to enjoy cost savings while experiencing the seamless appearance of a flush sill? Monumental Windows and Doors has a range of sliding door configurations for our customers to choose from. Our 5000 Series Sublinear Sliding Door System and 4500 Series Premium Aluminum Doors offer sleek, eco-friendly designs with a game-changing flush sill – a hidden track that creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. With this minimal frame, customizable configurations, and energy-efficient glass options, our system combines aesthetics with functionality. 

Why the Flush Sill is a Must-Have for Modern Luxury Homes

Using a “flush sill” in sliding door design isn’t just an aesthetic choice. It’s cost effective while retaining higher quality and longevity of the door: a flush sill means there is little to no raised threshold, which creates a smooth transition between the indoors and outdoors. This sill also gives a clean, minimalist look that favors contemporary designs. 

Flush sills can be installed “with riser” for a more traditional transition from tile/carpet floor to your home’s exterior, or “without riser” for tiled flooring that spans through the door’s opening. All flush sill designs come with a slot for drainage. Screens are typically placed in the interior of the door system, but are also available for the exterior if that is your preference. These options are similarly available when installing all configurations of our 5000, 4501 & 4551 sliding door systems.

Enhanced Aesthetics and Functionality with Flush Sill

We know our customers value both functionality and a luxury feel. By using flush sills in all of our sliding doors, we offer customers a smooth, level threshold that eliminates tripping hazards and ensures easy accessibility to both the interior and exterior of your home. This is especially valuable for our customers with wheelchairs and strollers. All of our flush sills are equipped with effective drainage systems, making them practical for various weather conditions. 

The scenery outside your home is as much a part of the home’s aesthetic as its interior decor. Vast, expansive views offer a luxury feel that is honored by our seamless design. Using flush sills visually merges indoor and outdoor spaces, and blends functionality with elegance. This modern, minimalistic approach to our floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors creates a refined, unobstructed aesthetic that aligns with high-end architectural trends while maintaining practicality and functionality. 

Customizable Sliding Configurations for Any Space

Our custom projects not only provide flexibility in design but also in functionality. We can create custom finishes for thermally broken windows and doors that are tailored to the specific needs of each room in a home, such as increased ventilation, an all-encompassing view, or energy efficiency. With our wide range of materials, colors, and finishes, homeowners can truly personalize their space while enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Monumental is committed to delivering high-quality products that meet the unique needs of each client while providing unmatched elegance and durability.

The 4501 Sliding Door Series: Standard Frame Excellence

The Monumental 4501 Sliding Glass Door combines European-inspired style with California craftsmanship, offering a durable, thermally broken aluminum frame for improved energy efficiency. It accommodates large custom glass panels, up to 8 feet wide and 12 feet tall that blend seamlessly into the floor and ceiling because of the flush sill. The 4501 series is offered in numerous configurations, motorized options, and features consistently high-end hardware. 

With precision-engineered rollers and corrosion-resistant stainless steel tracks, this door provides smooth operation and longevity. Custom finishes, colors, and insect screens further enhance its adaptability for modern luxury builds. 

The 4551 Vari-Slide™ Series: Expandable Versatility

The new 4551 Vari-Slide™ series is an expansion of our existing 4550 automatic sliding door products that builds on the standard flush sill option. This expandable sliding door blends seamlessly with finished flooring in both interior or exterior placement – it is entirely up to your preferences and the specifics of your home.

While the panels between the 4501 and the 4551 are the same, the frames are different; the 4550 frame has a single track for the sliding panel, fixed panel, and screen, whereas the 4551 Vari-Slide™ frame is expandable to multiple panels for different slide configurations and screens. This makes inclusion of the flush sill option possible at the same rate of cost savings as the original products in the 4500 Sliding Door series! The 4551 Vari-Slide™ also comes with the customizable option of adding an exterior riser for an exterior drop. 

The 5000 Sublinear Series: Slim Styling with Modern Features

Our 5000 Sublinear Series sliding doors are inspired by European villa styles. With the 5000 Sublinear frames, you get the elegance and refinement of traditional glass doors with the right touch of modern technology, quality, and performance. These customizable aluminum frames include 7/8″ slim vertical and sill rails – and those flush sill perimeter sightlines – guaranteeing you the greatest view from your beautiful home. The low profile sill glides just above your flooring with minimal effort and seals against drafts, rain, and bugs. Our perimeter frames are designed to be installed flush with your finished surfaces for a neat, uninterrupted view. All of our sill assembly is comfortable to walk on barefoot with no protruding edges.

While flush sills are currently used in our 4500 and 5000 series, we’re planning to expand this technology across our products.
