Choosing Doors
How large should the opening feel?
Sliding, multi-slide, lift-and-slide and folding systems create very different relationships between rooms and outdoor space.

Design
Think beyond frame colour.
Glass, hardware, grille patterns and configuration all influence the finished architectural effect.

Commercial
Start with the system family.
Curtain wall, storefront and entrance systems solve different envelope and access requirements.
Explore Commercial Systems →Planning Framework
Four decisions that make product selection easier.
Start broad, then narrow the product around the building. Operation and opening size usually come first; glass, finish and hardware make more sense after the system family is established.
Select the system
Compare casement, slider, patio, large-opening or commercial framing families.
Set performance goals
Coordinate glass, thermal expectations, privacy and project-specific requirements.
Finish the design
Confirm colour, grille pattern, hardware, screens and the final configuration.
