Whatever your wrought iron repairs are, DCS Industries specializes in refinishing of old, rusted, or faded wrought iron. Our wrought iron repair service will save you significant money when compared to replacing fixtures or furniture.

Using Energy Efficient Automatic Sliding Glass Door Closers for Commercial Properties

For commercial property owners who want to lower energy costs as well as making a positive environmental impact, installing automatic sliding glass door closers can be a great energy saving strategy, as the management at Lake Powell Resorts and Marinas discovered. The Resort installed automatic sliding glass door closers on several different types of patio doors throughout their lodge rooms in the spring of 2009. Jan Marquis, Director of Land Maintenance at the property says, “I believe the installation of these units has had a positive impact on lowering our energy usage for our lodge rooms, as it does not allow the guest to leave the doors open while the air conditioners are running.” Marquis also says that the installation of the door closers went smoothly on each type of door, and that the doors all operate well since installation. This simple, property-wide improvement provided a quick solution to concerns of Resort management, and shows guests that the company is energy and environmentally conscious.

Energy Efficient Window Tinting and Sun Screens from DCS Industries

Saving money is a topic on a lot of people’s minds. Whether it’s skipping a restaurant dinner or deciding not to buy one more movie, cutting corners to keep more cash in the bank can be frustrating. One of the easiest ways you can save money is cutting back on energy costs in your home. According to energystar.gov, the United States uses nearly a million dollars’ worth of energy every moment. Some of that money comes from you, and even more of that money could be kept in your wallet with some select improvements.

Window sun screens and tinting could be the investment needed for your home or business that will reap major benefits in the long run. Energy efficiency studies have routinely proven that windows keep unnecessary heat in or let it out, with estimates that range anywhere from 20-40% of your total energy waste. Considering the fact that window sun screens and tinting can reduce your home or building’s temperature by several degrees, it should come as no surprise that your energy bills would go down, too. For example, Arizona Public Service’s website shows the nearly $5400 cost of a 10,000 square foot office building with only single-pane, clear windows, and then compares this to a similarly sized office’s mere $4020 expenses due to the double-pane, reflective film or screen windows.

When you’re ready to save money by reducing your energy bill through window screens and tinting, you can call DCS Industries for more information. And our estimates are free!

Security and Style Can Go Hand in Hand with Wrought Iron Fencing, Gates and Security Doors

Quality wrought-iron fencing, gates and security doors are an investment in your property, and generally add value by providing an extra level of security. Purchasing galvanized fencing will prevent rust, which should be warranted by the manufacturer. Powder coating or electrostatically painting your fencing opens up a variety of color choices to best match your property and design aesthetic. Top quality fencing, gates and security doors will also use premium hardware and be installed by professionals. Tsekhanovsky says that DCS Industries controls each step of the manufacturing process in their in-house facility to meet the highest design and manufacturing standards. “We start our process with premium grade steel which is inspected to ensure it meets our strict standards. The steel is then cut to size per order. DCS welds all custom iron works utilizing pre-fabricated jigs to ensure quality is maintained throughout,” he explains. All of these quality controls ensure that the homeowner is making a sound investment by improving security, but if the door or gate design is inconsistent with the rest of the property it will stand out – and not in a good way.

DCS has matched up entry gates with front door designs, recreated antique European and Mexican designs, and worked with customers to create their own one-of-a-kind designs that are truly works of art. “Customers know they are getting a quality product from us,” Tsekhanovsky says, “But we have really amazed some of our clients with how we are able to turn their creative vision into a reality.”

When thinking about safety and security upgrades for your home, remember to consider the style and design features of your home. You’ll find many options to seamlessly incorporate peace of mind into the beauty of your home.

Security Screen Doors Customize Built by DCS Industries

Most people can picture the typical, old-fashioned screen door on a farm: a wooden frame, with slightly peeling red or green paint, separating two panes of mesh, which possibly have a few holes in them. Some would find this picturesque, the perfect addition to their house to add some character to the otherwise-plain door.

However, the lack of security with such a screen door is a worry to others. These types of screen doors do not protect from possible intruders. Screen doors provide a variety of benefits, like fresh air and natural light, a view of nature, and an extra bit of protection (and therefore longevity) for your main door, but these benefits only go so far in the mind of person predominantly worried about safety.

Are secure screen doors one of your main concerns? Then you are the type of person who should consider installing all-metal screen doors, which also double as security doors due to their durable nature. And just because these doors are entirely made out of metal does not mean that you should lose the aesthetic aspect of a screen door. This lack of options is fortunately not the case today considering there is often wide variety of colors and styles available.

If you are concerned about security along with style, DCS Industries can help you create custom screen and security doors for every entryway of your home to maintain a unified, beautiful look. We use 16-gauge steel and no plastic on the doors whatsoever, not even in the bearings or latches. In addition to the fact that we have only licensed installers, your mind should be put to ease when you choose one of our security screen doors and see its benefits, including safety, put to the test.

A Look at Doors and Gate Metaphors from DCS Industries

Doors and gates have often symbolized meanings beyond their everyday use. A person can be referred to having a “closed door” mind, indicating that they are stubborn and not willing to accept or listen to new views. The famous phrase “kicking down the door” means that someone pushes forward bravely into or past a difficult situation. Literature, poetry, and proverbs often use doors and gates metaphorically to indicate the passing into a new stage of life.

In particular, the genres of science fiction and fantasy heavily utilize the use of doors and gates. These have always been more than they seem in these genres. For example, doors and gates in science fiction and fantasy have the powerful ability to transport those characters who pass through them to other locations. Sometimes these locations hold foreboding, dangerous situations for the characters, and other times they are warm, safe places that the characters are overjoyed to arrive at.

What do your doors and gates say about your house? Do your doors and gates beckon your visitors and make them feel welcome? Do they suggest to your visitors that stepping on to your property is a safe decision? If your doors and gates do not create this atmosphere for your home or building, you may want to take a closer look at them and consider if they are mediocre and uninspiring. Perhaps they are even daunting to look at, or disconnected with the intended style of the building. Choosing the right doors and fences for your location is important in making a good first impression. After all, doors and gates are some of the first things that people see at your residence or commercial building, so they are, in essence, metaphors that you are visibly presenting to your visitors. Make sure they are good metaphors.
