Everything to Consider When Installing Conference Room 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.

I appreciated Joey and Jonathan's quick response and arrival at our building. They were professional and friendly. Also, Lloyd came by for a separate issue the other day and showed the same amount of professionalism. I appreciate working with companies like this!

We have 10 offices worldwide and Vortex Doors is our number 1 door vendor. We had a need for a new set of doors for our reception lobby in Seattle and Vortex came through for us. When one of the glass panel in the doors was shattered in the middle of the night, Vortex was there immediately to install a temporary board braced with 2x4s, and had a replacement pane installed the following week. Our company prides itself on our professionalism and we find that Vortex is on par with ours!
