About Panda Windows & Doors

Panda Windows & Doors was established in 1991 in Las Vegas, Nevada with a goal to create beautiful pieces of functional glass that perform as well as they look. The company designed, manufactured, and delivered its first aluminum framed folding door to a remodeled custom home located in Downtown Las Vegas. As design trends evolved and architects became interested in designing large moveable openings, Panda Windows & Doors found its niche market and began designing and engineering state-of-the-art custom glass wall systems that cater to the needs of both residential and commercial markets.

Today, Panda offers more than 50 high-quality systems including Folding Doors, Lift & Slides, Horizontal Wall Systems, Pivot & French Doors, Multi-Slides, Retractable Screens, Panda-Select line, TS.X0, and Architectural Windows. Our systems have been installed in scenic destinations around the world.

Thirty-one years later, Panda's presence continues to grow through its field representatives and distributors. With more than 70 employees and 30 regional agents throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean, this small family business has grown to become a powerhouse in the building and design community.
