Magnus Tilt-Slide Doors

Magnus tilt-slide doors provide an innovative and space-saving solution for commercial and multi-family applications. Constructed from high-quality vinyl, these doors are designed for durability, energy efficiency, and smooth operation in high-traffic environments.

This dual functionality combines the benefits of traditional sliding doors with enhanced usability and airflow. Advanced weather sealing and energy-efficient glass options, such as Low-E coatings and argon gas fills, ensure superior thermal insulation and weather resistance. Customizable in a variety of sizes, finishes, and hardware styles, Magnus tilt-slide doors are ideal for projects requiring modern aesthetics, functionality, and long-term performance.

Magnus Window and Door Frame Types

When selecting or installing windows and doors, understanding the different frame types is essential for ensuring proper fit and performance. Here’s an overview of nail-on, block, and retrofit frames:

Nail-On Frame

Definition: A nail-on frame is designed for new construction or complete remodels where the building studs are exposed.
Key Features:
- Includes a built-in nail flange (also called a nailing fin) that attaches to the rough opening of the wall.
- Provides a secure and weather-tight installation.
- Typically used before siding, stucco, or other exterior finishes are applied.
Advantages:
- Ideal for new builds and extensive renovations.
- Excellent moisture and air sealing when properly installed.
- Allows for precise alignment during construction.

Block Frame

Definition: A block frame (or flush fin frame) is a simple, frameless option designed for situations where no exterior flange is needed.
Key Features:
- Fits directly into an existing or prepared opening, often without altering surrounding structures.
- Frequently used in masonry openings or applications where aesthetics demand a clean, low-profile look.
Advantages:
- Clean and minimal appearance.
- Simplified installation for certain retrofit or replacement applications.
- Suitable for areas with unique architectural needs.

Retrofit Frame

Definition: A retrofit frame is designed for replacing existing windows while minimizing disruption to the surrounding structure.
Key Features:
- Incorporates a “flush fin” or “z-bar fin” that overlaps the existing window frame.
- Avoids the need to remove exterior materials like stucco or siding.
- Designed to fit seamlessly over the existing window frame.
Advantages:
- Cost-effective and less invasive installation.
- Retains the original look of the building exterior.
- Quick and efficient option for replacing older windows.
