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

August 6, 2020 | Commercial Doors

Installing Drive-Thru Solutions for Efficiency

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.

Wanda H.
Skyler came to our Maya Apartments property in Ktown and worked on our door. From the start, he was incredibly friendly and helpful and followed proper protocol! I really appreciated how he checked in with me the entire time he was working on the issue and asked for not only approval but explained the process of what he was doing so I was aware of the issue. He is a great employee and knows what he’s doing.

Had a great experience! Vortex was patient with my busy schedule and got the job done and exceeded expectations. They weren’t able to quickly get special parts my door required so they did a more expensive fix but charged me the cheaper original quote price so I didn’t have to wait that long. Cotton and Randy did a great and quick job!

Vortex has sent their technician Jeff out multiple times here to the H.U.S.D Nutrition Center and he's a pleasure to have. He always is very thorough in his work and explains everything in detail. Thank you Jeff for all your hard work.
