Pacific Luxury Home Entrance Door

Energy Savings

Preserving Art: Larger doors mean more natural light, saving you money. If you choose one of our higher performing glass systems the light is conditioned for greater comfort. Destructive elements such as UV Rays are filtered out, which improves your comfort and protects your flooring, furnishings and art.

Energy Ratings: In the Products section of our website we list several test results with varying types of glass, from standard insulated glass to high performance glass.

Passive Solar Energy: Because we have engineered our products for strength, larger sizes are possible. Huge glass expanses not only accentuate your view but also welcome more natural light into the room. The presence of more natural light is an immediate saving on your energy bill.

Glare: Another added benefit to selecting high performing glass is that glare is radically reduced, allowing you to enjoy your view all the more. Our spectrally selective low e glass is a great start and by adding tinted glass even more glare is repelled.

Glass: The Pacific 3500 gives you hundreds of glass options. In fact, we challenge you to find a glass that will not easily be glazed into this exceptional door. We have designed extrusions to accommodate glazing from 3/16" to 1".

Single Vs Double: The Pacific has two lines of weather defense whereas most other doors offer one. The seals we offer are compression bulb seals. Other products typically offer only one strip that looks like a brush. This brush material cannot keep water out like a compression bulb seal.

Conduction: Heat/Cold I: Aluminum transfers energy very easily. This has wrongly been considered a negative trait but the fact is that very little energy is lost through the frame material. Other window materials absorb heat and cold into the frame, causing that material to fail prematurely. One might say that aluminum is a more intelligent window material in that it deals with such stress in a positive way by releasing the energy that would normally cause material failure as it does in vinyl and wood.

Conduction: Heat/Cold II: Aluminum is thermally stable in that it does not swell and shrink when the temperature or humidity levels change. The fact is that very little actual energy is lost through the frame material but in the case of wood and vinyl (expand and contract at high levels) MUCH energy is lost through the frame and vent seams.
