Pivot Doors
Flexibility and Convenience
Solar Innovations, Inc. Series 2000 Pivot Doors
 |
The search for oversized doors can be a difficult one, but Solar Innovations® offers the perfect solution, pivot doors. This type of door is designed for oversized openings, and is available in a French door configuration. Typical sizes range from 4’0” wide up to 10’0” tall. All sizes are custom and both larger and smaller sizes be manufactured, depending on weight constraints. Consult your Solar Innovations® representative for definitive sizing.
The key feature of a pivot door is the location of the offset hinge. On a traditional terrace door, the hinge is placed on the left or right; the pivot door’s hinge is located at the top and bottom of the frame. This location allows the door to pivot left to right. Center and off-center pivot locations are acceptable on the top of the frame. When the door is pivoted, a large opening remains; which allows for sizeable items to pass through the framework that may be hindered with a regular terrace or French door.
Pivot doors are equally suitable for commercial and residential applications. Common commercial applications include car dealerships, hotels, hospitals, and entrances to businesses or restaurant decks. Residential applications include openings to patios, front doors, and interior doors such as office doors. While large openings are possible and very useful in commercial applications, the large sizes may not be practical for residential use. All sizes are custom, so everything from smaller scaled doors to a garage door sized opening is available.

Each pivot door is constructed out of thermally isolated aluminum which will not rot, rust, warp, or require constant finishing maintenance. All frames are thermally isolated which helps insulate rooms and allow the doors to be used on exterior applications. There are mullion layouts to choose between for a more artistic looking door. Please see below isometrics for options.
The pivot door matches that of our folding glass walls. This allows for transoms and sidelights to be constructed from the pivot door frame, creating the same sight lines for each unit. There are various sill options for the pivot door. Exterior doors can use an ADA compliant sill, the standard sill, or recessed sill. Interior doors can use the flush sill or recessed flush sill. The framework is also versatile enough to be used in forming the pivot doors into stacking pivot doors. Multiple panels will slide along a track and stack against a wall. This allows a wall to be opened and present an unobstructed view. Screen options are available for the pivot doors.

Solar Innovations® offers eight standard frame finishes along with any custom color your job may require. Wood veneering options are available to mimic the look of wood. Various species are available, including pine, mahogany, birch and fir. Copper, lead coated copper, and stainless steel cladding can all be added to the door. Glazing within the framework can be virtually any thickness, ranging from monolithic to insulated. Polycarbonate or glass can be utilized, along with any specialty glass such as acid etched or art glass.
After a design is finalized, Solar Innovations®, or one of our nationwide dealers, can complete the installation of the door into your building. There are “do-it-yourself kits” available for those customers who wish to buy factory direct and complete the installation themselves. Whatever design you have in mind for your home or business, Solar Innovations® can help you achieve the desired pivot door.
