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.

Eric A.
Michael was very professional and finished the job in a timely manner.
Dasha B.
Excellent service, used Vortex couple times now for our 2 office locations. Second time was an emergency situation when our big loading zone door got stuck (this was during really bad weather too - it was rainy, windy and cold) and their Customer Service manager Jennifer Audon was so helpful. Deployed help in a very short time, the crew was able to fix the issue before our closing for the day. Highly recommend! Thank you, Dasha

Made a request with my company Service Center, they called Vortex and they were out here with a few hours. Technician Velasquez discovered the issue’s right away and spent all the time needed in order to make sure the warehouse roll up door was fixed to his abilities and to where I needed it to be. He also recommend a few repairs and hope to have their services whenever need be!!! Thank you guys for your QUICK response and GREAT customer service! - SunRun
