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.

I had three door contractors look at my exterior office doors, trying to solve a persistent problem with electric latching & unlatching. One gave up, one proposed complete door replacement. Vortex proposed starting with a modest tune up of the hardware to see if that solved the problem. That did make the doors close and latch reliably, so it was a big improvement. Unlatching was still unreliable, do they came up with a complete package to upgrade the latch system. The techs were friendly and on time. They completed the project on time. My doors now work perfectly. I'll certainly be using Vortex for other projects.

We recently moved into a WHS space and found that our door desperately needed a service. As we approved the quote and had parts ordered, the door became stuck and wouldn't operate. Vortex made the extra effort to get us on their calendar immediately and the door was repaired quickly.

The best part of the entire experience were the technicians, Tano & Oscar. These two gentlemen were very professional, extremely courteous, & patient with all my questions. When they were done our doors were better than brand new. I was very impressed with their service and workmanship, and highly recommend them.

Sincerely,
Andrew
