For a true conversation piece, go ahead and install pivot doors for your home or business. This modern addition to any structure rotates on a pivot box instead of on traditional side hinges. They’re ideal for large panels, popular for their wide, generous opening countered by their simple, modern appearance.

Pivot doors are a hallmark of contemporary architecture, but you can install them in virtually any type of home. Typically, pivot doors are installed in high-end custom homes pointing towards an emerging trend in urban building. The goal is to encourage a higher indoor/outdoor connection that calls for larger doors.

The Benefits: Pivot Doors

In addition to their contemporary look, pivot doors bring many advantages to the modern homeowner. Pivot doors:

• Are silent and strong
• Come in larger sizes than are offered with traditional doors.
• Boast high-performance hardware for much smoother operation of panels that are wider and taller than standard doors.
• Have adjustable operating hardware for varied traveling and closure speed.
• Have a seamless, streamlined look.
• Feature balanced panels that appear to operate independently of the corresponding frame.
• Are less obtrusive thanks to cleaner lines.
• Can be used for both exterior entry doors and interior doors.
• Have panels that can be built much wider. As such, they have square footage that is greater than a side-hinged door – in many cases up to nine feet wide by 13 feet tall.
• Don’t require a frame, which means no damage to the floor or walls.
• Have a larger clearance area than swinging doors.
• Offer stability for heavy doors or for those crafted from fragile materials like glass.
• Require fewer pieces of hardware and a simpler design than other door types.
• Have a versatile look that can blend in with a wall.

Why Should You Have Them?

Your house is your temple, where you (ideally) feel calm, relaxed, and happy. If your house is a comfort zone to relieve tension from the outside world, it’s understandable that you would want your entry door to make you feel safe and confident, with a bit of enjoyable architecture throw in for good measure. A pivot door can afford your home a modern and refined touch, with the availability of many materials, prominent dimensions and unbeatable openness.

Not only are they beautiful, they’re also highly safe and resistant, and can isolate noise due to a hermetic closing that gives you natural acoustical soundproofing. You can order your pivot door the way you want: painted, glass, lacquered, veneer, synthetic and more. A pivot door is also a great investment, an attractive component that will certainly attract the eyes of potential buyers when the time comes.
