Large Doors: How to Select the Right Door [Webinar]
Large Doors: How to Select the Right Door
AIAPV has partnered with Andersen Windows & Doors to offer this live-webinar. AIA credits will be reported by Andersen Windows. This webinar is free for all to attend.
Course Overview:
Modern design trends are favoring larger openings, and while this blank canvas offers a wide-range of options, it can also pose a challenge. Because of the almost unlimited variations of different types, styles, and available options for large doors, it is often more important that the architect understands how to utilize the proper selection process, rather than which specific door to choose. The process for specifying should include client aesthetic expectations, environmental conditions, building performance, and durability concerns.
