ZSL-1000 Glass Sliding System
The outcome is an unrivaled system that boasts seamless mechanics, a sleek and streamlined structure, impressive load capacity, and effortless ease of operation. Designed for museum professionals, exhibit designers, and architects, the ZSL-1000 offers unmatched adaptability and integrates seamlessly into architectural plans, while meeting the highest standards of artifact conservation and exhibition security.
A Breakthrough in Museum Display Case Design: An Innovative Sliding System
Innovative & Unique. Our sliding system embodies an innovative approach that sets new benchmarks in functionality and performance. Designed to support the creation of large-scale presentation display cases, and to accommodate expansive exhibition spaces, the system stands out with a set of unique features.
Versatile & Refined. Independent from the structure on which it is installed, the ZSL-1000 supports large glass sliding doors, requires minimal space, and offers effortless handling. These advantages redefine how wall-mounted display cases are conceived, providing greater architectural flexibility for creating innovative and aesthetically refined exhibition projects.
Robust & Modular. With a load capacity of up to 1000 lbs, the system supports sliding glass doors as large as 166 square feet (15.5 m²) across a variety of display case configurations. Its structural independence offers design freedom: door dimensions are not limited by the width or number of case modules, but solely determined by their weight.
Seamless Integration into Museum & Architectural Designs
Our sliding system offers exceptional adaptability to any structural framework. The door width is independent of your structure’s dimensions, offering unparalleled flexibility and ease of integration.

Designed for Durability, Tested for 30 Years of Use
Cyclic tests to evaluate the service life of our ZSL-1000 sliding system were conducted by the independent Centre de recherche industrielle du Québec (CRIQ) in fall 2024. According to the official technical report, the system underwent 11,000 opening cycles under real-use conditions.
The result? The ZSL-1000 remained fully functional throughout, equivalent to one opening per day for 30 years, with absolutely no maintenance required.
