Is the product energy efficient?
Our glass is dual-pane with low e-coating and argon gas insulated making the glass energy efficient. Low-E coatings have been developed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted.
Are your doors and windows storm or hurricane-rated?
While our doors and windows are not hurricane rated, the design pressure rating (DP) is 35, which correlates to a 108 MPH wind rating.
What is your STC rating?
Our system’s Sound Transmission Class (STC) is equal to 35.
Do you do the demo work?
We are a manufacturing company, not a construction company, so we ask your General Contractor to prepare the worksite.
However, we do perform the installation of the system because we believe it’s one of the most important parts of the process.
Who installs the product?
Our system will only be installed by a Glass Expanse certified specialist that has completed our training program.
How secure is the system, and is it lockable?
We use tempered (safety) glass in all our panels and our patented wheel technology ensures that the doors cannot be removed from the tracks. Our standard product is lockable from the inside with keyed options available.
Are the panels easy to operate?
Yes, our patented bearing configuration enables all panels to slide effortlessly.
What sizes are available?
All systems are custom-made to order, with a maximum height of 10 feet and a maximum width of 40 feet.
What colors are available?
All systems come standard with black anodized frames and handles.
Is your system compatible with insect screens?
Yes, with numerous options both motorized and manual.
Can I recess the lower track to be flush with the floor?
Yes, in some configurations the lower track can be mounted flush with the interior floor.
Is it top or bottom supported?
Each unit is completely top hung to allow for smooth operation in all conditions. Gone are the days of hard-to-operate, bottom-supported sliders that are affected by any dust is in the bottom track.
What material are your frames made of?
All of our frames are made of Aluminum 6063-T6.
Are there finance options availble?
Yes! We partner with GreenSky to offer competitive financing options.
Do you do installs in commercial buildings?
Of course! Conference rooms, restaurants, office partitions, and lounge areas are perfect spaces for our doors. We’ve even had schools reach out to separate classrooms. Cool.
