Adapt Your Business With A Drive Thru or Pass Thru Window System

August 6, 2020 | Commercial Doors

In these unprecedented times, businesses are working to adapt to meet CDC and local guidelines for operation during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Every business, from restaurants and retail stores to public office buildings and schools, are having to modify their processes in order to comply with local regulations and CDC guidelines. 

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), social distancing, also referred to as “physical distancing,” means maintaining a space between yourself and people outside of your business. The recommendation is to follow these guidelines:

  • Stay at least 6 feet or 2 meters from other people
  • Do not gather in groups
  • Stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings

One simple way to modify a building to make it safer for operation during the COVID-19 pandemic is by installing a pass thru or “drive thru” sliding window system. These innovative additions allow for easy transacting from a safe distance and can blend seamlessly with any building’s exterior. A variety of businesses and facilities could benefit from the safety and convenience a drive thru window provides, including: 

  • Retail stores
  • Restaurants 
  • Government buildings 
  • Schools 

Vortex recently helped a school adapt to the ever-changing times by transforming the front of this high school by installing a pass thru window. This new window will help the faculty and staff interact safely with students throughout the year.

If you think your business or building could benefit from the convenience of a pass thru window, contact us. Our knowledgeable team can help you navigate through these unprecedented times. Request your free estimate here or contact us at 800-698-6783.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Excellent
Terry F.
I called Vortex this morning, provided my company's information and address. The receptionist who answered was polite and told me a tech would call on there Arrival, to which Vincent did. I met with Vincent outside, clean and professional appearance in both himself and vehicle. I explained the issues with both the gate and bay door. Vincent quickly assessed the problem, suggested some technical expertise and resolved the problem quickly. Now my business can go back to normal operation safely. Thank you Vincent and Vortex for your quick and professional service.

Anthony worked very carefully and patiently to fix our broken roll-up door. He also try to repair the old door as much as possible to avoid replacing a new door. The job was perfectly done.

Eric and Ismael were super kind and efficient. Another company installed a door at our warehouse, poorly, which caused us to shut our business down for a few hours. We called Vortex to come and fix the door for us, within an hour they were here and these guys knew what they were doing, fixed all the issues, and got us back in business quickly.
I really appreciate the professionalism, efficiency and knowledge.
