Everything to Consider When Installing Conference Room Doors

June 28, 2023 | Commercial Doors

When installing conference room doors, there are four factors to consider: light, durability, privacy, and cost. How important each of these is to your organization determines which doors are best suited to your conference room.

Light

Bright spaces make people alert and productive. They also make it easier to read documents and concentrate on the information being presented to them. And while doors don’t generate light, they have a huge impact on it. Glass doors not only allow your conference room to take advantage of its own lighting, but surrounding lights as well, which helps make meetings more constructive.

Durability

Because conference rooms are a focal point for company activities, they tend to experience more wear and tear than most other doors in your building. Of course all conference room doors can withstand repeated use, but metal doors tend to withstand it the longest. They resist dents, scratches, impacts, and other sorts of damage that occur whenever large groups of people move in and out of a room.

Privacy

Sometimes information needs to be shared without becoming widely known. If you don’t want people looking in on your documents and presentations, you’ll either need a wood door, a metal door, or a frosted glass door. While traditional glass doors promote visibility, frosted glass doors create privacy while still allowing outside light to filter in. They don’t have to be entirely frosted either. Frosting half the glass prevents passersby from reading sensitive documents without obscuring the entire room.

Cost

Wood doors are generally more affordable than glass or steel. However, since every company needs to consider maintenance costs as well as purchase costs, installing steel or glass doors in the busiest areas of your building may be the best way to save money in the long run.

Team P.
We have a small print shop storefront close to the AT&T Center (where the SA Spurs play) and needed a retail front door. We shopped around and called a number of door companies with minimal, or should I say, less than enthusiastic efforts to gain our trust and business. Our stores structure was built in the 1950's so there were many company representatives who came to check it out and never got back to us or there quote was out of this world because of the possibility of many unforeseen issues, to say the least. Once we called VORTEX I could tell we finally had the ball rolling in the right direction. There were a number of folks involved from the beginning; the local Mgr. Randy McFarland, Scott McGauvren, to the installers including Cotton and Josh as well as a few others who's names I've forgotten. Most importantly it was a great overall effort by everyone involved ! Although not everything went as planned due to the age of the building and the unexpected obstacles, everything went as smoothly as anyone could expect. Even though they had to return after the initial installation, it was all handled in an organized and professional manner. Thanks to Mr. McFarland and his San Antonio, VORTEX group we have an awesome retail storefront door. JS

Wyatt and Johnny came out to replace a door at our storage facility. They did an amazing job. They communicated very well, they were very friendly. They were here on time and worked hard the entire time. they took down the old door and installed the new one in just a couple of hours. I would recommend them to everyone! Great job!

Ralph fixed 2 of my doors today at 2 different locations. He was friendly, easy to talk to and explained things clearly. I will definitely be calling Vortex again in the future when my doors aren't doing their jobs.
