In today’s marketplace, building professionals and homeowners have many door and window options to bring their unique design visions to life. Whether the goal is to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces or to fill rooms with natural light, both highly sought after aesthetics, large glass doors and windows can add a touch of old world luxury to a contemporary home design.
Although they may harken back to European-inspired design, large opening solutions do not necessarily need to be manufactured across the pond. In fact, Florida-manufactured glass wall systems and complementary folding, sliding and pivot door systems can support both inspired designs and the resilience needed for stateside home projects.
But why choose made-in-America doors and windows over offshore options? The answer is simple: quality, durability, support and nearly unlimited design options.
Florida-manufactured, impact-rated glass wall systems blend luxury and durability
America’s landscape is a work of art in itself—particularly when it comes to beachside properties. This is partially why more and more luxury homes are designed to incorporate their surroundings. Glass wall systems and large windows offer designers unprecedented potential for expanding views, especially when these systems are constructed with narrow-profile frames.
For example, Euro-Wall’s Vista TL™, a Florida-manufactured, impact-rated glass wall system, features edge-to-edge glass glazing with zero obstructive sightlines to maximize natural light and uninterrupted views. Despite being able to accommodate dimensions of up to 16-1/2 feet in height or width for a single glass lite within its minimal perimeter frame, this window system offers the strength and durability to withstand hurricane-force winds and impact.
In fact, all of Euro-Wall’s opening solutions are manufactured in America to meet the demands of American construction and design.
Built in Florida with extreme weather in mind
America’s southeast experiences some of the most extreme weather conditions in the country. Tropical storms, hurricanes, high heat, salty ocean spray and more demand opening solutions that are as durable as they are luxurious.
Founded and based in south Florida, Euro-Wall knows firsthand what it takes to stand up to extreme weather. This knowledge guided the development of glass doors and windows that are impact-rated and meet the stringent criteria for use in Miami-Dade County and other High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ). Further, Euro-Wall’s Vista Fold™, a folding door system, and Vista CT™, a casement window system, are available as thermally broken openings to support energy efficient designs in the sunshine state and beyond.
These high-quality and high-performing opening systems have Florida Product Approvals, meet Texas Department of Insurance standards and satisfy California Title 24 Energy Code, making them an ideal solution from coast to coast.
Choosing made-in-America doors and windows goes beyond product performance
Incorporating opening solutions that elevate luxury design while prioritizing durability and resilience is important to a finished project. That said, it is also important to consider where these systems are built. When a manufacturer is based in America, they can offer efficient production and shipping since there is less distance between where the systems are made and where they will be installed. Stateside manufacturing may also be able accommodate last-minute changes to a design without significantly increasing lead times.
Euro-Wall’s state-of-the-art facility and showroom in North Port, Florida, utilizes automated processes and high-capacity production. This supports manufacturing that is exact, agile and able to produce door and window systems with some of the largest dimensions, highest load capacities, strongest panels and widest range of design options available.
This translates to more accurate lead times and higher quality folding glass doors, sliding doors, pivot doors and multiple window options to help keep construction schedules on time and projects within budget.
Made-in-America also means stateside customer service
Florida-manufactured, impact-rated glass window and door systems can also support building professionals and homeowners before and after construction. Euro-Wall’s stateside service offers a personal, enjoyable experience at every step of the journey.
