DISCOVER HOW TO COMFORTABLY BRING THE OUTSIDE INTO YOUR HOME WITH A SCENIC DOOR

MULTI SLIDES

Multi slides are completely customizable ranging in size from 6'- 60+’ wide, heights of over 10’, and the option to add endless panels. The bottom of the frame, or sills on these doors, are typically only between 3/4” to 1” tall, making them a great choice for ADA projects. Multi slides are also a great choice for retrofits into existing openings, small and large remodels, and new construction.   

Multi slides operate like a typical sliding glass door where the weight of the panel is supported by the floor. Since each panel rides in its own individual track, multi slide frames can be deep to accommodate multiple panels stacking together when opened. We recommend consulting with a professional prior to ordering a multi slide door or starting any framing.

PIVOT DOORS

Pivot doors make a statement. They are also an excellent choice for front entry and high-traffic areas of the home or office. These doors can have massive panels that open with ease, and come in just about any variety of finish you could think of. Pivot doors are often clad with exotic wood or architectural metal.


We love a good pivot door. With so many styles, sizes and finishes to choose from, along with the option to automate large pivot doors, the pivot system is growing in popularity a diversity quickly.

LIFT SLIDES

Lift slides offer uninterrupted views and are capable of spanning the largest of openings. Some of the more impressive units reach expanses of 60-feet long and 14-feet tall, and are always growing in style and sophistication.


Panels and tracks of Lift Slides can be both curved and automated, and occasionally weigh upwards of 600 lbs or more per panel. Regardless of weight, Lift Slide door systems typically offer effortless operation, customizable options, and unparalleled weather-resistance. The tracks on these systems are recessed into the floor and only the top 1/4” is visible, giving the system an ultra-clean look, and seamless transition to the exterior. 


Due to the weight of the panels, and the engineering requirements for the sills, these doors are best suited for new construction and major remodel applications.

BIFOLD

Bifold doors are a very popular big door system. They offer numerous panel configurations moving to either the left or right, as well as active single panels for easy entry and exit without opening the entire door. Bifold doors provide the greatest opening width as the panels stack out of the way when fully opened. 


Bifold doors are great systems for maximizing the view of smaller openings under 12’ where space is at a premium. They also make a dramatic statement when used in larger openings of 20’ or greater. Since these units are nearly always top-hung (where the weight of the panels “hangs” from the head track) they often require a large header to support the weight of the door. These doors work best in medium to large remodels and new construction.
