Doors are a critical feature in every commercial project. Our glass wall system are compatible with a variety of options. Which one you select depends on a number of factors. Here are the top three things to consider when selecting a door with one of our glass wall systems.
Aesthetics Needs
Who doesn’t love a good door? If the door handle is the handshake of the building, then the doorway is what makes the first impression. MetroWall glass wall systems accommodate a variety of options:
- Frameless
- Framed
- Wide Stile
- Wood
- Serene (only at MetroWall)
- Slimline (only at MetroWall)
Acoustics Requirements
Entryways often weaken glass wall systems because they create a gap. If a doorway isn’t the right size or installers don’t install it correctly, this reduces the system’s acoustic performance. All of our installation teams are well-versed in installing our systems with different doors. Additionally, whenever acoustics are a priority, we recommend incorporating our Serene Door with our HUSH or ENDURE systems because it is designed with STC in mind. It’s double-glazed and utilizes an integrated drop seal.
Space Restrictions
Regarding space restrictions, swing doors are easy to use and one can outfit them with a wide range of additional hardware. While they tend to be less expensive, the price can quickly increase depending on hardware selection. Meanwhile, sliding doors can greatly increase functionality and are ideal for optimizing floorspace.
