Hello! I am an architectural engineer in Buena Vista, Colorado. I am currently working on a project that needs a 12' high, 12' wide RV garage door. I really like the aesthetic appeal of schweiss doors. Do you deliver/service Buena Vista, Colorado? Also, what would your pricing look like?

I am an architect and am working on a aircraft maintenance hanger with one (1) 16' x 50' bifold door and one 20' x 60' bi-fold hangar door going to Tennessee. I would like a recommendation on which door system we should specify and assistance with the specification. We are also working with NUCOR for the pre-engineered metal builiding in which these two doors are to be installed.

Good day, I am working on an architectural Revit model of a 50x50 hangar specing schweiss doors (and will be modeling a 60x60 soon), and would like to see if you have Revit models available of your bifold and hydraulic doors. The goal for the current project is to maximize the door opening size as much as possible. We are developing the structure in steel, and as a pole-building.

Hi Schweiss Doors team, Our architectural firm is considering your bi-folding overhead doors for a barn project in southern Maryland. The clients have requested large glass garage doors on the building, but they do not want to see bulky overhead tracks and cables, and your products seem like they could be a wonderful solution! Could you provide additional information regarding any glass bi-folding overhead door products that you carry? For context, the project in question would require (2) doors - (1) 10' x 10' and (1) 14' x 14'. Do you have glass bi-folding doors that can accommodate sizes this large, and if so, can you put us in touch with the dealer in our area to discuss a pricing quote? Thank you in advance!!

Hello, I am an architect in NYC and looking for a bi-folding hanger gate system. Below are my questions and if you can help us and recommend a product line, it would be greatly appreciated. 1) we need 27ft width with 80ft height which means two panels (27'(w) x 40'(h) each ) will fold up. 2) we want minimal internal frames. If possible, stay away from truss bars either. The ideal case is only with a surrounding frame which is simple metal tubes. Not sure if the panel in our size will be twisted without internal frames. 3) we are thinking of covering the door panels with expanded metal. With the above points, if you can propose a product line or consult with realistic solutions, it would be greatly appreciated. Regards,

Hello, I am interested in your all glass bifolding and standard hydraulic doors for an exterior application in New Haven, CT. We are looking to have a door opening that is 16'H and 13'W clear when in the open position. This opening/door is going to be made within an existing concrete wall. We'd like to incorporate a canopy above the door, and get the door to sit as close to the plane of exterior cladding as possible (we have looked at some other options that would require setting the door back from our face of building and we do not want that). Is there a specific product you might be able to recommend for our application? Thank you. I am happy to send over drawings if that's helpful.

17

I am an architect and I am looking into a couple of things for my project. There is a folding door and folding windows that I would like to specify but I would like to know what my options are.

Could you please advise if you are able to do something like this for a residential building. The door is about 6’-2 with 7’-11 limit on height. The window width is 5’-9” with height limit of approximately 4’-9” if given 2” of header/framing above. These are non standard sizes so I would assume that they would have to be custom. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you

Good afternoon, I am an architect based in Washington DC. I am working on a commercial project located in the District and I am wondering if you could help answer some questions about a door solution I’ve been working on. We have a couple large openings in an existing building (which limits the amount of structural work we can introduce) and we really want to incorporate a bi-folding door to open the interior space to the patio area here. Can you help answer some of my questions about these systems? Primarily I’d like to know what my options are regarding the… 1) Door Glazing. What are the maximum panel sizes within the door itself and what do these intermediate mullions need in terms of spacing to make the door structurally stable while providing the largest glazed openings? Can these mullions be sized and spaced according to our design intent? We would prefer a SSG for the horizontal and a 2” for the vertical. 2) Structural requirements. Do you typically need reinforcement for particular door solutions? Is there a maximum height or width that triggers the need for additional structure? 3) Mechanical Requirements. What does the hydraulic system for these doors look like? 4) Do you have any Revit models you can send me? Thank you for all your help. For context we have about 10’x15’ of clear opening to work within.

25

I'm an architect in Columbus Ohio. We are interested in using your hydraulic doors as a basis of design on a large commercial project here in Reynoldsburg Ohio. We have a concept design for an event hall that would have 2 of your doors on an exterior skin that would open up the building for special events. The 2 doors are identical and on the same gridline. Rough size is 13' wide by 14' high. One caveat is that we'd like to have our exterior cladding system (currently full brick coursing) on the doors so they blend with the skin when not in use. Could one of your reps give me a call either today or tomorrow sometime to discuss?

Dear Schweiss, We are considering the implementation of your fold-up all-glass doors on a façade system in Manhattan. Currently we’re looking at having 3 vertical folding glass doors that would replace the fixed glazing leading out to the terrace. The panels would be 10’-0”x16’-4 1/2” (X2) and 10’-5”x16’-4 1/2” (X1) (See drawings below). The final effect would be a seamless indoor-outdoor connection (adding images for reference) The design intent is to have the door as minimal and clean as possible, with no visible motor no visible hydraulic arms, and to match the lookandfeel of the base building currently under construction. We are particularly interested in exploring two options that we would like to share with our client on Monday, your timely response would be very appreciated. 1/ Hydraulic glass door (full height with no straps or exposed motors), hydraulic pump hidden in a closet nearby 2/ Pivot Hydraulic Glass door If you can send us details and photos of all-glass installations that can be shared with the client for both options We were wondering how such façade system is possible to achieve with your product, and what are the supports needed for such a system? What is the biggest size door we can achieve in this configuration? Let me know your thoughts and I look forward to speaking with you soon. Best, Reem

85

Hi: I'm an Architect with a project that will require a fire department ladder truck to access an interior courtyard through a 60' tall x 30'wide x 30 long glass connector. I like your bi-fold door product and would like to introduce a bi-fold glass door that looks similar to the Project curtainwall on the east and west elevation of the connector. The bi-fold door would be in the 14' wide and 20'high range. The concern at the office is the amount of straps and other door related hardware that I'm seeing on your website photos, but we certainly do not want to deal with steel cables that can snap or fray. Have you all done a bi-fold door installation in a more polished curtainwall than what I might be seeing on the website and with some less obtrusive straps and spools? The concern with a hydraulic door is the single leaf and the emergency vehicle being too close to the doors when it's time to open them. Any help would be appreciated Tom

My opening is 11'-0" wide and 12'-0" tall. This is for a food and beverage tenant build-out in an existing ground level retail space. Could you also price this same door with an aluminum frame? The main structure of the building is concrete frame, and there is an existing hss tube girt at the top of the opening.

We are architects interested in specifying one of your products: Standard Bifold Liftstrap Door - Flush Mount. The size of the door is approximately 9' tall by 10' wide. The issue we have is that the client wants to be able to deploy an insect screen when the door is open. Have you come across this before? We cannot see how this would be possible with the tubes that go from outside to inside. We also need to get a quote from you for this size door.

I'm an architect. I work on high-end residences. I frequently need to suggest we import tilt-up Facade bifold garage door hardware to Australia. It's remains unclear to me why American manufacturers use panel roll-up so much, they don't even compare to your Schweiss Bifold and hydraulic door line. I enjoyed seeing residential applications on your website -- the Carriage House for helicopters, for example. It's overkill, but can I contact you for a quote for a double-car garage (16'-8"W x 8'-0"T, min) tilt-up door when appropriate?

Hi, My name is Chaim Emanuel. I am an architect with YMK.

Hi, I am with Studio Gang Architects, and we are doing a project in Wyoming where we would like to add several Schweiss Bifold Designer Style Garage doors clad in stainless steel.

Is it possible to send me some cut sheets showing the mounting details needed for our design? I am unsure of mounting requirements. We are open to either steel support side columns or wood supports - it depends on the information that we can see from your office. Thank you and Sincerely, Jason Flores Studio Gang Architects

I have a Wilson Door on my hangar and am looking for a similar bi-fold door for a new hangar. The current door is 46' opening by 12' height clearance. I need 13' height clearance on the new hangar.

Can you provide initial specifications that an architect might need? (I'm imagining weight, attach points, outside dimensions??) And I'm interested in price and shipping. Please advise and ask any questions. Thank you.

Hello, I am Aimilios La Dallman Architects, and I am contacting you because we are interested in using a set of bifold doors for our Granary rehabilitation project in Wisconsin. We have a series of 9' wide by 14' 9" tall openings on the ground floor that are framed by the wooden building structure. 12x12 glulam columns on either side and a 12x12 glulam beam resting on top. We are open to all bifold liftstrap configuration types, but we would prefer to minimize the presence of the heavy hardware, like the geared motor, so we are especially drawn to the option where the drive unit is mounted at the top. We are looking to use lightweight polycarbonate panels for exterior finish. We have a Revit model, and I want to share with you our drawings to start a conversation about implementing your products and talk about pricing and installation. Do you have any Revit models or cad drawings of the bifold system to share? Thank you very much, and I look forward to working with you. Aimilios Davlantis Lo

Do you have any recommendations on typical door heights to accommodate heavy truck (without trailer)? We want to make sure we have appropriately sized doors. Is there a typical “Wedge Height” or does it vary based on overall door height? What kind of options are available for the door panels? We are considering glass (clear

Hi, We are working on a commercial building in Brooklyn, New York, with large glazed restaurant frontage along the Gowanus Canal. We are exploring bifold liftstrap restaurant door options for allowing these apertures to completely open for access to outdoor seating. The overall aperture lengths are 40' and 34'6" as currently drawn, but can be broken into multiple smaller segments. (we do not have a specific tenant in mind, but it may be better from a cost or operational standpoint to divide the door into smaller segments). If you have any brochures, details, or BIM models that would be much appreciated. Thanks, Brandon

Hi Schweiss, I'm looking at a door very similar to the Lake Tahoe boathouse project with vertical wood siding. This is for a rural residence that is closed up much of the time. When they do open the doors, they will need shade. First choice is a hydraulic one-piece door, but the bifold will work. My guess is that wind will be a factor as this is an exposed location. First step is to see if a ballpark estimate doesn't scare the owner away! I can send a kinetic architecture rendering if that would help. Thanks. Pults & Assoc. Architects

146

Hello! I'm an Architect from the Boston area looking to source kinetic architectural doors for a small residential garage project.

147

Good morning, I'm an Architect in Manhattan and am looking to spec your bifold doors for an upcoming project. I have a few questions for you as we work to implement these doors into our drawings: 1. We would like to inset a glazing system into the bifolds rather than to install a curtain wall to the exterior of the doors; would this be possible? 2. I've noticed that in some photos of your finished projects there is a Schweiss bottom truss at the sill. What conditions would require this truss? Is this only required for aluminum, or would a steel frame also need this bottom truss? 3. I found a few details of your top drive doors online, but am having difficulties finding a bottom drive detail- if there is a detail of this condition, please email.

Hi, My name is Samuel, I work for a Architectural firm, in CT. Our firm is currently designing a operable hydraulic canopy door for a large home here in Connecticut, the canopy is around 15x60%u2019 in size and lowers 10%u2019 to provide cover to a courtyard below. We have a structural engineer that has designed the structure, lifting points and calculated all the loading requirements. Where we have hit a bit of a dead end is finding someone that can design and manufacture an operable system for lowering and lifting the canopy. (we have had some quotes but most are either very expensive or bulky and not in line with our design, but your Schweiss hydraulic door meets our specs) I was wondering if your company would be interested in working with us and if you could put me in contact with someone to discuss this in further detail. We can also provide preliminary drawings upon request. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards,

155

 I am an architect and we are considering a move to another location here in Helena. We would like to install either a hydraulic or bi-fold door to create an outdoor work space. I grew up on a farm and have been familiar with your doors for many years. I wrestled sliding doors on our shop and everytime wished for the day that we could add a Schweiss door to it. Now in a second life, I am hopeful of the chance. This is a CMU block building and the door would be set in a non-bearing wall. I do realize we'd more than likely have to have a steel subframe to support it. That is not a problem. We just located the space and do not yet have an anticipated size but I wanted to get a feel for the cost of each unit prior to finalizing the size (below is approximate). How do you figure your pricing structure? Do you have discounts for architect/engineer designers when they show it off on their own space? Interested aluminum frame bifold with liftstraps and autolatches.

I'm writing for a architectural door project that our architectural office is designing in CA. We need  two story, two-garage car lift doors and we have specified Schweiss bi fold liftstrap/autolatch garage doors at location.

We are specifying the bi fold doors as "custom" doors and are hoping you will further educate us on the door model for this project. Also am interested in learning more about available finishes for the car lift doors.

Hello Schweiss Doors, I'm a new employee for Architects in San Francisco, California. I've been given the task of acquiring some CAD drawings for a glass bi-fold door. From your website's "Designer Doors" section, the: Redbull, Stanford, and Santa Clarita Gov. Center all appeared to be what we're looking for. Unfortunately, I know very little about the project and cannot explain too many specifics at the moment. This can maybe be discussed later on as it seems your company does specialized projects. Do you have any general CAD drawings (plan and section) that could be used for a 11' wide 8' 3" high opening? We're just trying to put in a somewhat accurate bi-fold liftstrap/autolatch system into the drawing (as a placeholder really). Thank you, and sorry for the lack of info.

195

Dear Schweiss Doors: I am an architect who has designed a residential project for which I would like to use your bifold liftstrap doors for a folding louvered sunshade.

We are architects for a new art museum, which has an insulated loading dock door 10' w x 12' h.

If so, please provide contact to whom I can e-mail some drawings and start a dialogue about clearances etc.

We are renovating an all-wood fruit stand for a client and are interested in incorporating bi-fold shop doors into the store front of the building. The project hopes to utilize four 8x8' bi-fold doors arranged with two (side by side) on the building's northern end wall and two on a single side wall (also side by side). Can the doors be ordered without the drive unit and operated with a manual hand crank? What is the approximate pricing and weight for a door this size? Should a free standing header be deemed necessary, what is pricing on such? Please send response and price quotes. Thank you, Beaman Z., Architect

202

I need to get pricing on a Schweiss door but I don't know if I have enough information for you. I am currently working on a project where the Architect changed one of my insulated coliling doors to a 12'-0"x 11'-0" insulatd, hydraulic, canopy/tilt-up, door prefinished. That is all the information I have. No new specification or anything.

203

I am a designer working at an architecture firm based out of San Francisco. I am interested in using your product on a new construction project. I had a couple quick questions. The first being about the insulative qualities of the doors in a space that will be used for large events/gatherings. Another consideration (as always)is cost and functionality. The openings are relatively small 9'x9', is this cost feasible given their size? Thanks and I look forward to discussing further. Randall M., Junior Designer

The attachment is your Schweiss Bi-Fold Door quote to Your Construction. The 2nd attachment is additional door detail information provided by the architect for this project.

The "ship to" city is Santa Barbara, CA

We would like to use one piece hydraulic door on a residence. The entire door would be covered with standard nail flange windows, weighing approx 9-11lbs per sqft. I am looking for pricing and detail drawings, also the approximate lead time. I assume the door is all knock down construction? A few questions: How large will the pump and motor be? Are we limited on the location of the unit? Can the hydraulic mount directly to the building's w-section columns? If our open is 11'-3" high, how high off the ground does the hydraulic mount to the opening, and how far off the floor does the hydraulic mount to the door? Do you possibly have shop drawings for a similar door? I just want to be sure I am specifying the right door and dimensions as we get closer to construction. Please feel free to contact me anytime via phone or email, Thank you for your help, Josh J. E. Cobb Architects

I am an architect working on a restaurant tenant finish space in Salt lake City Utah. I would like to explore using the vertical bifold concept to open up the storefronts of the space. It is in an existing building. Before I can propose this to our client, I need to know something about cost, availablility, lead times, etc. I have a drawing of the elevation that I can send to you.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I AM AN ARCHITECT PRACTICING IN DENVER COLORADO. WE HAVE CLIENTS WHO HAVE A BARN WITH A HIP ROOF WITH A 6:12 PITCH WITH CEDAR SHAKE SHINGLES. THERE IS AN EXISITNG MANUALLY OPERATED HINGED HAY DOOR BUILT INTO THE ROOF APPROXIMATELY 3'-6" X 7'-0". WE WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THIS OLD ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW SINGLE ONE PIECE HYRAULIC DOOR WITH A REMOTE CONTROL AND THEN CLAD THE DOOR WITH TRU SLATE ROOFING TILES. CAN YOUR DOORS, IF PROPERLY INSTALLED ON A CURB BE USED IN THIS MANNER AND CAN THEY HAVE SLATE TILES ATTACHED TO THEM? IF THIS IS POSSIBLE WE WILL NEED TO DETERMINE THE DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, THANKS, PAUL J.

Interested in using the door as a glass wall that is operable. Would like to know how your system will compare in cost to a glass overhead door. As an example, what would a glass bi-fold door cost if it were 10'-0" tall x 8'-0"wide? Or 12'-0" tall x 10'-0" wide? Thanks, Phil

We are a small glass shop in NW Montana. I am working with an architect on an innovative design that is beyond our local expertise. However, recognizing the opportunity to build a specialty niche, I am doing the research to provide a solution for my customer. The architect wants a walk-out patio door for a residential project. Dimensions are roughly 15' to 20' wide and 10' to 12' tall. His vision for the framework is an anodized aluminum storefront wall that would lift up utilizing your system to create the walk-out opening. He would then match it with storefront aluminum around the rest of the house. From there, smaller matching bifold windows may be considered for other areas of the residence. Does this sound like a possibility for your company? Thank you for your time. Regards, Keith N.

I'm beginning to work on a corporate facility that will have two hangers. One will be 45,000 sq.ft. and the other will be 30,000 sq.ft. The long side of both will be 300 ft. As an architect, I like the bifold doors for purely aesthetic reasons but I need to determine which door system is best for my client. What is the max span of a single bifold that will accomodate a 28' tail height?

Hi; I'm designing a residence where the owner has requested a bi-fold type door similar to your product. The qpplication is different in that it only serves a small work shop. The door would be 12' x 9' high. do you have an attractive product like this and pricing info?? thanks R. B.- Architect

We have designed a project in San Francisco that includes 4 bi-fold overhead doors that were considered to be of aluminum construction with translucent panels of Polygal or similar material. The doors are approx 10'-0" wide x 8'-0" high. The doors fit into a window wall 17'-2" high x 23'-0" wide - the door located at one side of the overall panel. Our initial thought was for a flush mounted door - in line with the exterior of the window wall assembly. Your thoughts or suggestions? Lew B. archhitect

I am an architect for Mr. Virgil Williams, Jr. for a building to be constructed in Monroe, GA. He has dealt with you in the past and received a quote from you approximately 2 years ago. The project is now hot and I need assistance for detailing/bracing/sizing door openings, headers, columns, etc. for your bi-fold doors. The building is pre-engineered metal building 80' x 120'. There is a 40'x16' door on the 80' end and a 70'x 16' door on the 120' side. I am most concerned, structurally, about bracing the side wall door. Your prompt response is most appreciated... (As mentioned, this is very hot). Also, do all of your doors open to the outside? Thanks in advance, Dennis N. Architect

Hello I am an architect in Alaska. I am looking at using this of door for two and three car garages in an upscale sudivision. A couple questions: 1. Are there any problems with using 20 individual remote controlled doors fairly close together? Are there enough separate frequencies? 2. How is glazing incorporated into the doors if I want half or all of the door to have clear polycarbonae panels? I have not looked thru all your details yet. 3. Is there a local rep here in Anchorage, Alaska that I can contact? Thanks for your help Jack B.

I need an estimate for a bi-fold door sized 24' wide and 10' high. I will be making my own custom panels so it looks sort of like the image you fetaure on your website of the cedar ba with the vertical Wood panels. just need a ballpark price so I know whether I can afford to pursue this solution. Am an architect and will feature this project on my website and in my press kits. Please advise on pricing and delivery info to a jobsite in Connecticut.Scott , AIA
