Soundproof Glass Sliding Doors

[CarolWilks 0]

I am just about to embark on a new exiting journey to set up a home studio from a double garage that is at a house I will be moving in to shortly and am scoping it all out and researching as much as I can.

The one thing that I am having difficulty with , is finding a suitable Soundproof Glass Sliding Door. The one drawback of the build is that it will be a shared space and being doubled as a summer house, so can't have the typical double soundproof door setup. With all the interiors I can go to town with the soundproofing, doing the room in a room method but I will only have one single point of entry which will be some sliding patio doors.

Does anyone have experience of studio builds using these? Is it a waste of time trying to find a suitable product because it won't have the desired performance?

I won't be recording drums in this space and guitars are recorded via a Suhr Reactive Load so again noise won't be excessive but I will be recoirding vocals (sometimes screaming metal vox) and brass so need a good level of performance. There is also a railway line that runs about 100ft behind the building.

Any good suggestions?

Jumping in on this older post because sliding doors can be tricky for isolation. If you’re still exploring options, have you looked into double sliding units with separate frames and an air gap? Some people also pair them with heavy curtains to tame the high‑frequency leaks. Curious if you ever settled on a design or found a manufacturer that offered something close to studio-grade.

I put in heavy sliding glass doors in my studio too, and the trick was getting the frame and rollers working smoothly so the seals stayed tight. I ended up calling https://apolloslidingdoors.com/ after the original install got sticky, and their tune‑up made a big difference for keeping the door fully closed under pressure. For soundproofing, pair good seals with thick laminated glass and make sure the outer wall is decoupled.
