I am an architect in Denver and I would like some pricing information regarding your bi-fold doors. Please contact. Thank you!

2

The attachment is your Bi-Fold Door quote to Your Construction. The 2nd attachment is additional door detail information provided by the architect for this project. Would you please review the architect's details and modify your proposal if necessary. I understand that the door installation and the glass glazing is included in your quote. I notice on your original quote that the "ship to" city is incorrect. I am not sure that will make much difference in the shipping costs, but it should be corrected. The "ship to" city is Santa Barbara, CA

14

I am having hangar plans drawn up. I plan on a 46' x 14' bifold door. I have two questions: 1. My architect says he will need to loads that the door puts on the hangar structure, and that you can supply the loads. Is this correct? 2. I want a 14' high clear-space opening. How high does the hangar opening need to be for this door? I assume that the door needs a few feet up on top. The side columns are not determined yet, but I think we are going with masonry. Thanks

I am an architect working on some design options for a client who is building a shelter for a large taxidermy "sculpture" of 2 moose. We are looking at large door openings as a way of moving the sculpture in/out of the enclosure for transport, as well as allowing visitors to view the sculpture. I am interested in getting a rough quote to share with our client to determine order of magnitude cost impact. In addition, I am interested in learning about the custom door facing options that we have. Ideally, the door panels would be a combination of wood (rough pine) and a good amount of glass for viewing. I'd like to understand how the door sub frame is designed, and what options we have for working with you to maximize the glass viewing area. Thanks in advance, Matt R.

We are looking at using either two bi-fold or two hydraulic doors for an interior application. Your "designer doors" gave me some insight on what is available for infill panels, but I would like to know costs and other options. A generic price quote on both doors (with glass panels) would be helpful as well, in both steel and aluminum construction. Thank you, Dean S.

We would like to use one piece hydraulic door on a residence. The entire door would be covered with standard nail flange windows, weighing approx 9-11lbs per sqft. I am looking for pricing and detail drawings, also the approximate lead time. I assume the door is all knock down construction? A few questions: How large will the pump and motor be? Are we limited on the location of the unit? Can the hydraulic mount directly to the building's w-section columns? If our open is 11'-3" high, how high off the ground does the hydraulic mount to the opening, and how far off the floor does the hydraulic mount to the door? Do you possibly have shop drawings for a similar door? I just want to be sure I am specifying the right door and dimensions as we get closer to construction. Please feel free to contact me anytime via phone or email, Thank you for your help, Josh J. E. Cobb Architects

Please have someone contact me August 7th. I am an Architect working on Laguna Honda Hospital, currently under construction in San Francisco. We are making a change to our main security gate to the new facility, and need to work closely with a manufacturer for a custom designed bi-fold door. This door will need to mount to existing structure (some flexibility may be possible) and will be the housing for some type of metal (aluminum or possibly stainless steel) artwork that will cover the door. Please call me after 8:00 AM Pacific Time (3 hours behind Eastern Standard time) We have a deadline of August 31 for the design. Additionally, the door will need to conform to structural requirements determined by our Structural Engineer due to the State governing body that oversees hospital construction. Thanks very much, Ryan D. Anshen and Allen Architects

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I AM AN ARCHITECT PRACTICING IN DENVER COLORADO. WE HAVE CLIENTS WHO HAVE A BARN WITH A HIP ROOF WITH A 6:12 PITCH WITH CEDAR SHAKE SHINGLES. THERE IS AN EXISITNG MANUALLY OPERATED HINGED HAY DOOR BUILT INTO THE ROOF APPROXIMATELY 3'-6" X 7'-0". WE WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THIS OLD ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW SINGLE ONE PIECE HYRAULIC DOOR WITH A REMOTE CONTROL AND THEN CLAD THE DOOR WITH TRU SLATE ROOFING TILES. CAN YOUR DOORS, IF PROPERLY INSTALLED ON A CURB BE USED IN THIS MANNER AND CAN THEY HAVE SLATE TILES ATTACHED TO THEM? IF THIS IS POSSIBLE WE WILL NEED TO DETERMINE THE DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, THANKS, PAUL J.

53

Interested in using the door as a glass wall that is operable. Would like to know how your system will compare in cost to a glass overhead door. As an example, what would a glass bi-fold door cost if it were 10'-0" tall x 8'-0"wide? Or 12'-0" tall x 10'-0" wide? Thanks, Phil

54

We are a small glass shop in NW Montana. I am working with an architect on an innovative design that is beyond our local expertise. However, recognizing the opportunity to build a specialty niche, I am doing the research to provide a solution for my customer. The architect wants a walk-out patio door for a residential project. Dimensions are roughly 15' to 20' wide and 10' to 12' tall. His vision for the framework is an anodized aluminum storefront wall that would lift up utilizing your system to create the walk-out opening. He would then match it with storefront aluminum around the rest of the house. From there, smaller matching bifold windows may be considered for other areas of the residence. Does this sound like a possibility for your company? Thank you for your time. Regards, Keith N.

Architect interested in use of hanger door style for residenial garage. Please send product information or call Thank you.

56

I'm beginning to work on a corporate facility that will have two hangers. One will be 45,000 sq.ft. and the other will be 30,000 sq.ft. The long side of both will be 300 ft. As an architect, I like the bifold doors for purely aesthetic reasons but I need to determine which door system is best for my client. What is the max span of a single bifold that will accomodate a 28' tail height?

57

Hi; I'm designing a residence where the owner has requested a bi-fold type door similar to your product. The qpplication is different in that it only serves a small work shop. The door would be 12' x 9' high. do you have an attractive product like this and pricing info?? thanks R. B.- Architect

58

We have designed a project in San Francisco that includes 4 bi-fold overhead doors that were considered to be of aluminum construction with translucent panels of Polygal or similar material. The doors are approx 10'-0" wide x 8'-0" high. The doors fit into a window wall 17'-2" high x 23'-0" wide - the door located at one side of the overall panel. Our initial thought was for a flush mounted door - in line with the exterior of the window wall assembly. Your thoughts or suggestions? Lew B. archhitect

I am an architect for Mr. Virgil Williams, Jr. for a building to be constructed in Monroe, GA. He has dealt with you in the past and received a quote from you approximately 2 years ago. The project is now hot and I need assistance for detailing/bracing/sizing door openings, headers, columns, etc. for your bi-fold doors. The building is pre-engineered metal building 80' x 120'. There is a 40'x16' door on the 80' end and a 70'x 16' door on the 120' side. I am most concerned, structurally, about bracing the side wall door. Your prompt response is most appreciated... (As mentioned, this is very hot). Also, do all of your doors open to the outside? Thanks in advance, Dennis N. Architect

Hello I am an architect in Alaska. I am looking at using this of door for two and three car garages in an upscale sudivision. A couple questions: 1. Are there any problems with using 20 individual remote controlled doors fairly close together? Are there enough separate frequencies? 2. How is glazing incorporated into the doors if I want half or all of the door to have clear polycarbonae panels? I have not looked thru all your details yet. 3. Is there a local rep here in Anchorage, Alaska that I can contact? Thanks for your help Jack B.

I will be making my own custom panels so it looks sort of like the image you fetaure on your website of the cedar ba with the vertical Wood panels. just need a ballpark price so I know whether I can afford to pursue this solution. Am an architect and will feature this project on my website and in my press kits. Please advise on pricing and delivery info to a jobsite in Connecticut.Scott , AIA
