The Advantage of Heavy Duty Screen Doors

cindy — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 02:32:04 +0000

Easy maintenance is one of the top benefits of heavy duty screen screen doors. In the Arizona heat this is a very desirable feature. Strong, sturdy metal keeps its shape, strength and endurance. No more family, friends, or pets walking into the screen and bending the frame; making it less likely for the screen door to come off the track.

Heavy duty screen doors never require painting in order to look great year after year. Often available in many different colors to ensure a unified look for your home. They can be custom made, to ensure a perfect fit to your home as well. DCS Industries screen doors and security doors work with your existing door to provide maximum protection, privacy, comfort and style.

A great reason for installing a self-closing device like the Ultra Glide is to keep unwanted visitors out of your home. No matter where you live, no one wants mosquitoes, moths or other pests slipping into the home through open doors. Residents in the Southwest can face even bigger challenges in the form of potentially harmful snakes, scorpions and other wildlife that can enter the home through an open sliding glass door. Self-closing devices for sliding glass doors are worthwhile investments that are easily installed and even easier to live with.

Energy Saving Benefits of Sliding Glass Door Self-Closer

cindy — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:36:36 +0000

Summer has hit Arizona and when the heat is on, homeowners face numerous challenges. With the rising cost of energy and a growing concern for the environment, it’s important for homeowners to do everything possible to keep their families comfortable while keeping energy use down. Busy families often tend to leave doors open while running in and out of the house, allowing air conditioned air to escape and hot air to enter the house. And the opposite is true in winter – no one wants to pay to heat their home and then let chilly drafts into the house when doors are left open, even just a crack. Mom can run around closing doors or constantly remind the kids to shut the sliding door behind them as they run out to join their friends in the yard. Or, life can be a whole lot easier and more efficient with the installation of sliding glass door self-closing devices. These devices self-close the sliding glass doors every time they are left open. Whether it’s an inch or a foot, the door will close securely and you can rest assured that your energy dollars are not escaping through your sliding door.

Self-closing devices are easily installed on sliding doors, and can be color matched to the doors to blend in and go virtually unnoticed in any décor. They also will not be damaged when the kids actually do remember to close the door themselves.

Commercial Properties – Lower Your Energy Costs with a Sliding Glass Door Closer!

cindy — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 18:05:24 +0000

For commercial property owners who want to lower energy costs as well as making a positive environmental impact, the Ultra Glide can be a great energy saving device, as the management at Lake Powell Resorts and Marinas discovered. The Resort installed Ultra Glide devices 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 Ultra Glide devices 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.

Arizona Gates that are Old or in Disrepair Can be an Eyesore and a Safety Hazard

cindy — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:22:40 +0000

Gates on your property that are old or in disrepair can be an eyesore and a safety hazard. Years of Arizona’s harsh weather conditions and general wear and tear can weaken any kind of gate, and wood gates can be especially susceptible to damage. Gates can rot, sustain damage from insects, loosen and sag. Gates in this condition obviously don’t work properly, failing to latch or swing properly on their hinges.

Wrought iron or powder-coated steel gates are a great alternative to wood gates. Having your gate galvanized will prevent rust for many years to come, and quality manufacturers offer a warranty against rust with the galvanization process. Powder coating or electrostatically painting your fencing opens up a variety of color choices to best match your property and design aesthetic. Do you want your gate to blend seamlessly into your current fencing or block wall, or make a statement in a bold contrasting color?

Ugly, older gates make a poor first impression, and can potentially lower property value on your home. Having a new gate installed can make a huge difference in how your property looks. It can boost your home’s curb appeal and be a welcoming expression of your home’s style, whether it is classic, Tuscan, Southwestern or your own unique design. It is amazing how much impact a simple courtyard or entry gate can have, showing the homeowner’s pride in their property and serving as a unique architectural element.

Even gates that are less visible are important. Side gates and other pedestrian gates need to be solid and in good working order. Replacing a worn-out gate with a new wrought iron gate can improve the security of your property. Wrought iron gates are strong and long-lasting, as well as beautiful. As well as deterring unwanted visitors, a new gate will ensure that children and pets stay securely within your yard.

When selecting a company to create your new gate, you’ll want to look for a company that is experienced and has complete control over the manufacturing process. These types of gate companies can ensure the work is being done properly, and by eliminating middle-men they can pass on savings to the consumer. Top quality materials should be used, and the fabricators should inspect the gates to maintain the highest standards at every step of the manufacturing process. You’ll also want to ensure that hardware and accessories for your gates are top quality.

Installation of your gates should be done by an experienced, licensed fencing contractor. Ideally, you will be able to work with one company that can start with concept and design, manufacture the gates and do the installation, so that quality and consistency are guaranteed from start to finish.

DCS Industries in Arizona manufactures and installs high quality gates and fencing. They follow a step by step quality control process during the manufacturing of their gates and fencing, which has been developed through years of experience. The company’s custom metal shop allows clients to choose from a selection of gate designs or create their own unique gate design.

DCS Industries has patented a door closing system that works to improve safety and property efficiency. This patented device (US Patent #7124469) is universal and can be used on any type of sliding door.
