Inspired by artist Robert Irwin’s Scrims installation, which used sheer fabric to precisely define space while maintaining openness, founder Luke Siegel saw an opportunity to bring those same principles into everyday living.
Raydoor through the years
2000
Luke was working from a studio in New York City’s East Village designing furniture, where curious passersby often peeked through the windows.
The First Raydoor
Drawing inspiration from Irwin’s work, he crafted a privacy screen using a frosted shower curtain stretched within a thin plywood frame. The result was both functional and artistic—a solution that preserved natural light while creating a sense of privacy.
The first order
Not long after Luke hung up his privacy solution, someone walked by, loved the design, and asked if they could order one too.
2009-present
In 2009, Raydoor was awarded its first patent for its interior space dividing system. Now, years later, Raydoor serves commercial, hospitality and residential clients across the United States.
Patented TWINFRAME design
Designed Differently, Built Differently
Meet the heart of Raydoor: our patented TWINFRAME™️ construction, an innovation developed to create lighter, stronger and more visually refined interior divisions.
Rather than relying on heavy glass or bulky framing, two identical frames permanently bond around a structural insert, creating a markably rigid yet lightweight panel. The exposed acrylic edge, our signature Ray Edge – adds a distinctive architectural detail while allowing light to pass beautifully through the door. This patented “sandwich” construction turns the insert into a structural component, resulting in panels that are easier to operate while maintaining exceptional durability and design flexibility.
The result is an interior space separating system that feels less like a door and more like a thoughtfully designed architectural element.

Why Raydoor
Made and designed in NY
At Raydoor, every sliding door and operable wall is proudly designed and made in NY. In-house design and manufacturing allows us to uphold the highest standards of quality, refine every detail with intention, and meet our commitment to supporting skilled jobs in our community.
Quick turnarounds
We offer some of the quickest lead times in the operable wall and sliding door industry. For small and medium-sized projects, we offer an 8-10 week lead time (excluding shipping) with our product custom-built to your specifications. For simple room dividers and doors, we offer a rush orders with a 4 week production time. More custom orders can still be expedited to production for an additional fee.
Trackless Systems
Part of Raydoor’s success lies in our commitment to rethinking what a door system can be. One of our defining innovations is the elimination of the floor track—a design decision made with both form and function in mind. Because great design isn’t about working within constraints—it’s about removing them.
Soft-Close Systems
Our Soft-Open/Soft-Close technology ensures every door glides with quiet precision in both directions. The result is a more refined user experience that prevents slamming, protects the system from unnecessary wear, and extends the life of the hardware.
Lighter than glass doors!
Our patented TWINFRAME™ door panel is engineered to deliver exceptional strength through elegant simplicity. By permanently bonding two real wood veneer or laminate frames around a ¼-inch insert—most commonly acrylic—we create a lightweight, structurally rigid panel that is both durable and effortless to operate.
Turn-key solutions
Raydoor systems are complete operable wall solutions that incorporate high-quality hardware with patented, handcrafted doors. We include everything you need to for a successful room division project, by working with designers and builders.
