Oversized slab planning
Large panels need review for height, width, weight, pivot placement, and comfortable daily use.
Planning Details
What makes a pivot door different.
Pivot systems rotate from a point set inward from the jamb instead of relying on traditional side hinges. That changes the planning conversation around size, weight, swing path, threshold, and wall conditions.
Glass and privacy
Clear, textured, tinted, and privacy glass can be balanced with daylight and entry visibility.
Sidelites and transoms
Surrounding glass can widen the entry effect without making the moving panel harder to operate.
Hardware and access
Pulls, locks, closer behavior, smart-control readiness, and everyday access are reviewed together.
Site Review
Pivot doors need careful field review.
Before a proposal is prepared, Pergo reviews the wall opening, structural conditions, floor transition, exterior exposure, drainage, swing clearance, and surrounding finish details.
Opening and structure
Confirm framing, wall depth, header conditions, floor level, and installation access.
Operation and clearance
Review the swing path, furniture layout, traffic flow, entry landing, and hardware reach.
Finish and performance
Coordinate finish direction, glass, threshold, weather sealing, privacy, and security goals.
