BUYER GUIDE
How to Compare Window & Door Quotations
Two quotations can describe the same opening and still include different products or services. Compare the configuration and scope line by line before comparing the final totals.
BUYER GUIDE
Bifold vs Sliding Doors: What Should You Compare?
Start with how you want to use the opening. Bifold doors fold connected panels into a stack, while sliding doors move panels along tracks. The better fit depends on the layout and project requirements.
BUYER GUIDE
Thermal-Break vs Non-Thermal-Break Aluminum Frames
Thermal-break aluminum frames include a lower-conductivity separation between metal sections to reduce heat transfer through the frame. Non-thermal-break frames do not use that same separation.

FAQ
Before we begin.
A few things to know before you start your window and door inquiry.
Which guide should I read first?
If you are preparing an inquiry, start with the RFQ checklist. If you already have proposals, read the quotation comparison guide. If the main decision is the door layout, begin with bifold vs sliding doors.
Are these guides product specifications?
No. They explain how to organize a purchasing decision and the questions to ask. Product dimensions, glass configurations and document references need to be checked against the selected series and the actual proposal.
Can I use the example schedule for my own inquiry?
Yes. Copy the column structure and replace the example information with your project details. The sample dimensions are only an illustration of formatting, not a recommended size or an approved product configuration.
Can I inquire before reading all the guides?
Yes. The guides are optional help, not a prerequisite. Send your current requirements through Request a Quote and highlight the decisions you would like to discuss.
