Stacking Doors
Stacking Glass Door Installation in McKinney, TX
Stacking glass doors don’t just open wide. They disappear. Panels glide and stack completely behind one another, leaving a fully open wall with nothing in the way. Woodruff has been installing the kind of work that lasts since 1982.
Why Choose Woodruff Windows
A stacking door system is only as good as the pocket it stacks into. We build that right.
Most stacking door problems trace back to a pocket that wasn’t built to spec. We build it right. Our in-house crews handle the full scope on every project, from structural framing to finished threshold, so nothing gets handed off and nothing gets guessed at. Homeowners across Craig Ranch, Adriatica, and Trinity Falls know the difference.
Stacking Pocket Framing & Finish
We build or verify the stacking pocket to the panel system’s exact specifications before installation begins. The panels need somewhere to go when they’re open, and that space needs to be right.
In-House Crews. Never Subcontracted.
Structural framing, door installation, and interior finish work are all performed by the same Woodruff crew. No handoffs, no gaps in accountability from start to finish.
Threshold, Trim & Full Cleanup
We finish the threshold, interior casing, and exterior trim to match your home’s existing profile. Then we test every panel through its full range of motion and clean up before we leave.
Explore Stacking Glass Door Installation
Discover what makes a stacking glass door system the most complete indoor-outdoor opening available for McKinney homes.
Panels that move, stack, and leave nothing behind.
Full-Width Clear Opening
When fully open, every panel has moved into the stacking pocket, leaving the entire wall width as clear, unobstructed passage. No fixed panel. No frame in the view. Just the opening.
Top-Hung or Bottom-Roll Systems
Top-hung systems suspend panels from the overhead track, keeping the floor clear of any rail and allowing a truly flush threshold. Bottom-roll systems use a floor track for larger or heavier panel configurations where additional support is needed.
Individual Panel Operation
Panels can be opened partially or fully, one at a time or all at once, giving you control over how much of the wall is open at any moment. Partially open for a breeze. Fully open for a gathering.
When closed, it has to seal like a wall
Cardinal LoĒ³-366 Low-E Glass
Triple-silver-coated Low-E glass blocks 95% of UV rays across every panel, keeping the full glass wall from becoming a solar heat liability during McKinney’s peak summer months.
Thermally Broken Aluminum Frames
A thermal break between the interior and exterior frame surfaces prevents the aluminum from conducting heat into the home, maintaining the panel’s insulating performance independently of the glass.
Compression Seal System
When the panels are closed and locked, compression seals engage along the full perimeter of the system, creating a weather-tight closure that performs like a fixed wall, not an assembled set of panels.
A system this open needs hardware this solid
Multi-Point Panel Locks
Each panel in the closed position engages a multi-point lock at the top and bottom of the frame, compressing the seal evenly and securing the full panel height against forced entry.
Shoot Bolt End Locks
Shoot bolt hardware at the top and bottom of the end panel anchors the fully closed system into the frame, locking the entire assembly in place rather than relying on a single latch point.
Flush-Pull & Recessed Handles
Flush-pull handles sit recessed into the panel face, allowing smooth one-hand operation without hardware that protrudes into the opening or catches on screens and furnishings during use.
Glass that performs across the full wall
Tempered Safety Glass
Tempered glass is standard on all stacking door panels by code. Given the volume of glass in a full stacking system, there is no other appropriate specification.
Low-Iron Ultra-Clear Glass
Across a full stacking wall, standard glass’s green tint becomes distinctly noticeable. Low-iron glass removes it entirely, giving you a neutral, true-color view of your outdoor space from every panel.
Acoustic Laminated Glass
For homes where outdoor noise is a factor when the system is closed, laminated acoustic glass rated up to STC 34 keeps the view without importing the sound from nearby roads, common areas, or neighboring properties.
BRANDS WE INSTALL
Systems engineered for full-wall performance.
We source stacking glass door systems from vetted manufacturer partners whose top-hung hardware, panel tolerances, and seal systems we’ve evaluated specifically for North Texas conditions. Stacking systems face more daily mechanical stress than any other door type, and the brands we specify are built to handle it. Every system carries a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty backed by our own installation guarantee.

What a fully open stacking wall does to a home
Homeowners in Stonebridge Ranch and Painted Tree describe it the same way: the house feels like a different building. Rooms that were enclosed feel expansive. Outdoor spaces that were adjacent feel integrated. The home stops having a backyard and starts having an extension. Here’s the measurable side of that experience.
100% clear opening across the full wall width when fully stacked, with no fixed panel, no center post, and no frame interrupting the threshold between interior and exterior.
Full thermal closure when all panels are locked, with compression seals engaging across the entire system perimeter and Cardinal LoĒ³-366 Low-E glass maintaining consistent performance across every panel.
Complete flexibility between fully open, partially open, and fully closed, with individual panel operation that no other door system provides at this scale.
*Performance estimates based on NFRC-certified data and manufacturer specifications. Actual results vary by system size, panel count, orientation, and home construction. Ask your Woodruff consultant for site-specific recommendations.
Design
When the panels are open, the design of your outdoor space becomes the design of your room.
When the panels stack back, the covered patio, the pool, the yard in Tucker Hill or Craig Ranch becomes the room’s focal point. Panel profile, frame finish, and glass clarity all shape how that feels. We work through every visual detail during the consultation so the system looks like it was always part of the architecture.
Flexibility
Fully open, fully closed, or anywhere in between.
Open two panels for a morning breeze. Open the full wall for an evening gathering. Close everything and lock it when the weather turns. In McKinney’s climate, where ideal outdoor conditions shift week to week, that range of control is useful year-round.
