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.

Liz V.
I always call Vortex doors when I need the doors on my campus repaired and I request Ken. He always takes good care of us. He's polite and professional to all our students and staff and does a fantastic job. We're a busy campus and always have a lot going on and dispite that Ken always is so calm and easy going. I like how he takes time to explain to me what is going on with the door/doors and lets me know how he will make the repairs to get us back up and running. I know when I call Vortex that we're in good hands.

Zach and Ernie came and handled the service with ease, I trusted them to give us a functioning door while we decide what's next and they not only left it functioning but helped make sure it would not get stuck again wether or not we decide on a new door or not.

We've hired Vortex many times over the years for commercial door and glass repairs. They've always provided excellent workmanship and quality materials. The staff communicate well and provide estimates, job updates, invoices in a timely manner. They occasionally have to troubleshoot unforeseen issues and are always able to diagnose and make repairs. Their technicians are reliable and professional, and we highly recommend hiring Vortex for any door or glass needs you have.

John and Cory were at our worksite to fix multiple issues with our hangar doors. We have had other companies out for these repairs and they were stumped. Outside of needing some parts to order, Vortex doors were able to solve 90% of our issues. Very professional, knowledgeable, and worked with very high safety standards. Will definetly be reaching out to Vortex for any issues we have in the future.
