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.

Raplh Rendon was polite and courteous. This is his second time helping us with this door. Both times, he has been a pleasure to deal with. The prices are a bit high, but good customer service kind of balances it out....kinda!

At work we had 4 or different 5 contractors work on our door over the last 2 years. It was crooked and not adjusted right and the latch would not engage leaving it unlocked which could be dangerous. Finally these guys fixed our headaches and so far it hasn't come back. Thank you Miguel and Luis!

The door to our ladies restroom door handle has been broken for a while. It’s fixed and working well now.

Fantastic service. Very knowledgeable. Dig into a very complex electrical problem and figured it out instead of just throwing expensive parts at it. Highly recommend.

Of all the vendors I deal with on a weekly basis (20 or so) and all past vendors (100's), Karina Vargas with vortex has been in my top 2-3 as being the most helpful, responsive, personable, and avaliable. Karina truly cares about our issues and is great at providing superior service. Karina has set the bar very high for all other vendors compete with. Vortex is a great company and partner for our location. Great job!
