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.

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

Demitre is really great. He explained a lot of things about our door issue and was very helpful. Awesome experience.

Vortex has come out to Panera and fixed our front doors on two separate occasions. The original hinges on the doors were weak and eventually broke. They replaced our hinges and the doors are solid, no more sagging. Dylan did a great job, very professional and got the job in a timely manner.

Great Customer Service Matt! Thank you Vortex Doors- we appreciate your service. We had trouble finding someone willing to fix our outdated sliding door. Y'all had a "can do" attitude from the get go! Very positive attitude
