Lumon Glass
Enclosures.
Retractable and sliding frameless glass walls for patios, pergolas, balconies, roof decks, and restaurant spaces. EDG designs the right Lumon enclosure around your structure, weather exposure, and budget.
Premium Frameless Glass Enclosures for Outdoor Living
Lumon is one of EDG's featured premium glass enclosure systems. It gives homeowners, architects, builders, and commercial operators a cleaner way to add wind, rain, noise, and shoulder-season comfort without making a patio feel like a boxed-in addition. EDG uses Lumon where the system fits, and compares it against screens, fixed glass, sliding doors, and pergola integrations when another route would serve the project better.
Lumon vs Traditional Patio Enclosures
Traditional patio enclosures usually behave like fixed rooms or standard sliding doors. Lumon glass walls are built around movement: panels can be opened, partially ventilated, or closed as a windbreak. That makes the category a strong fit for covered patios, pergolas, restaurant patios, and roof decks where the view and open-air feeling still matter.
As a system-agnostic design and supply partner, EDG specifies the right glass enclosure system for your project rather than forcing one product into every opening. Our Spring Grove showroom gives you a place to compare enclosure strategies before committing.
Where Lumon Belongs
- Homeowners
Turn a covered patio, balcony, or pergola bay into a cleaner 3-season space that can still open when the weather is good.
- Commercial Venues
Help restaurants, hotels, clubs, and rooftops protect high-value outdoor seating without hiding the atmosphere guests came for.
- Architects & Builders
Specify a premium frameless glazing system with EDG support for measurements, system fit, and installation coordination.
Two Ways to Open a Frameless Glass Wall
The core Lumon choice is not just glass or no glass. It is how the wall should move. EDG compares Lumon retractable glass walls against Lumon sliding glass walls so the finished enclosure works with your furniture, roof structure, traffic flow, and view.
Lumon LGR Retractable Glazing
Panels move independently, retract inward or outward at the end of the track, and stack together. LGR is strong for patios, pergolas, and restaurant spaces where full opening flexibility matters.
Lumon LGS Sliding Glazing
Panels slide along the lower track and follow one another to the stack point. LGS can be a better fit where furniture, traffic flow, or roof structure makes retractable stacking less practical.
Independent retractable panels for maximum open-wall flexibility.
Sliding panels that stack together when the space needs a compact motion path.
What Lumon Adds to the Category
The best glass enclosure is not just a wall of glass. It is a complete plan for views, weather control, ventilation, structure, and daily use.
Frameless Views
Lumon glass wall systems use frameless tempered panels, so the enclosure protects the space without turning the view into a grid of bulky window frames.
Retractable or Sliding Operation
EDG helps choose between Lumon LGR retractable panels that stack open at the side and Lumon LGS sliding panels that move together along a lower track.
Tempered Safety Glass
Panel thickness, color, and hardware are selected around the opening, exposure, and structure. Clear and tinted glass options can tune the balance of view, glare, and privacy.
Wind and Rain Control
A glass enclosure helps block wind-driven rain, drafts, outdoor noise, and shoulder-season chill while keeping the space ventilated and openable when the weather improves.
Outdoor-Air Flexibility
Open one panel for airflow, stack the system for a fully open patio, or close the wall to protect dining, lounge, and entertainment areas from changing weather.
EDG Fit Check
We evaluate the roof/header, deck, drainage, layout, screens, heaters, and permit path before recommending Lumon or another glass enclosure system.
Designed Around the Opening
Lumon glass enclosures are custom-measured systems. Before EDG recommends LGR, LGS, or another enclosure strategy, we look at the existing structure, roof strength, deck or slab condition, drainage, wind exposure, and how the space will be used.
What EDG Checks First
Roof/header strength, deck or slab condition, plumb openings, drainage, and weather exposure.
Daily seating, restaurant service, hot tub area, outdoor kitchen, roof deck, balcony, or quiet lounge space.
Screens, heaters, ventilation gaps, tinted glass, blinds, locks, and how the enclosure pairs with a pergola roof.

Where Glass Enclosures Excel
Lumon glass enclosures are strongest when the space needs protection, views, and the option to open back up.
Residential
- 3-Season Rooms: Convert covered patios into usable space for spring, summer, and fall.
- Pergola Enclosures: Pair glass walls with a pergola roof for a protected outdoor room that still opens.
- Patio Enclosures: Reduce wind, rain, and glare around outdoor lounges, hot tubs, and dining areas.
Commercial
- Restaurant Patios: Protect premium outdoor seats from shoulder-season weather and sudden wind.
- Hotel Terraces: Create premium guest amenities with clean views and flexible opening control.
- Rooftop Bars: Create more protected rooftop venues without sacrificing the open-air experience.
Glass, Hardware, and Comfort Options
A good glass enclosure is not just panel sizing. EDG plans the Lumon system around how the room should feel on a cool evening, a buggy summer night, a windy dinner service, or a bright afternoon with glare coming through the glass.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about frameless glass enclosures.
What is a Lumon glass enclosure?
A Lumon glass enclosure is a frameless tempered-glass wall system for patios, pergolas, balconies, roof decks, and restaurant spaces. Panels can slide, retract, or stack so the space can be open, partially ventilated, or protected from wind and rain.
Should I choose Lumon LGR or Lumon LGS?
Lumon LGR is the retractable system, with panels that operate independently and stack open at the side. Lumon LGS is the sliding system, with panels that move together along a lower track. EDG recommends the system after reviewing your opening size, roof strength, furniture layout, and how much clear opening you want.
Is a Lumon glass enclosure the same as a four-season room?
No. Lumon glass enclosures are best understood as premium 3-season or season-extending systems. They help control wind, rain, noise, glare, and comfort, but they are not the same as a fully insulated, conditioned room addition unless the project is designed that way from the start.
Can Lumon glass be installed on an existing patio or pergola?
Often, yes. The opening needs a suitable roof or header, a sound deck or slab, and a plan for drainage and movement. EDG measures the site and checks structure before recommending Lumon LGR, Lumon LGS, or another enclosure approach.
How much do Lumon glass enclosures cost?
Pricing is project-specific. The system choice, opening size, glass options, structural prep, freight, installation, screens, heaters, and permits all affect the final number. EDG prices the complete installed project after a site review rather than quoting material-only numbers out of context.
Can a Lumon enclosure work with screens, heaters, or shades?
Yes, when the site allows it. Many glass enclosure projects pair with retractable insect screens, infrared heaters, blinds, motorized shades, or a pergola roof. EDG plans those pieces together so the finished space works as one outdoor living system.
