This is a matter of personal preference. In general, our customers tend to purchase 2 windows per 2400 square feet of building space. See the section on Windows for more information.

Do walk doors come pre framed?
Our walkdoors include framing, but they do not come attached to it. They are what are called "knockdown doors." They come with a frame, hinges, threshold, and standard knob lockset. See the section on Walk Doors for more information.

How do you know where the walkdoors and windows go?
Walkdoors and windows are "field located." This means that the customer picks the location, cuts the panel and mounts the walkdoor or window. If a customer purchases a large number of walkdoors and/or windows, we will inquire as to the proposed location so that we can conduct a wind bracing evaluation. Most customers only select one or two of each, so this is not generally a concern.

What do the walkdoors and windows attach to?
Walkdoors are "self framing," which means they include the framing, trim, and flashing you will need to frame them in. For an additional charge, we can provide a sub-frame for the walkdoor frame, or we can design factory-located openings for them, but most customers do not require any additional framing. Windows are "self flashing." This means that the window trim (flashing) is secured to the building by screwing it into the wall panel. Windows do not have a frame, but we can add a cee channel sub-frame for an additional charge. For customers in areas where the sustained winds can exceed 99 mph, we recommend purchase of a sub-frame.

Can I install regular wooden doors in the building?
That could be a big mistake. Residential doors are designed for a totally different type of structure and will simply not fit your steel building. For one thing, they are made for a 6" jamb, but our buildings need 8". They will also not trim out or seal properly. Trust us, this is not a good way to save money.
