Why are you using Commercial Doors in LUXURY HOMES??

Why are you using Commercial Doors in LUXURY HOMES?? Cheap? Can't do the size? Didn't realize it has exposed screws and bad weather seals? DETAILS MATTER! Do you even KNOW the details of the products your window dealer is bidding?

A lot of engineering goes into operational windows and doors and it shows in the details. This is also where the cost comes in with more complex and unique extrusions

The product approvals will show every detail and "luxury" is in the small details like whether the screw heads are exposed and the fit and finish.

I often compare doors to cars, they may look similar on the surface but when you open and close a luxury door you can FEEL the precision engineering of a higher quality product.

Another major difference is in the weather tightness of residential doors, especially those that have to perform in colder climates. In hot tropical climates, good weather seals keep out humidity. Commercial doors do not have to meet the same air leakage performance.

There are a few hurricane rated residential doors tested up to 4' x 12', don't cheap out on the products your clients are going to be using every day.

I help architects, builders, and owners select, specify, and detail luxury residential hurricane glazing systems without manufacturer or dealer biases.
From just one hour to as many hours as you need a glazing expert for your project.
I also give classes in all aspects of hurricane windows and doors on glass aesthetics and energy performance, manufacturer product overviews, detailed installation planning and best practices, and understanding hurricane product approvals.
