A Terrace Door Where Accessibility, Design, and Performance Align
DALLAS – (March 18, 2026)
The Terra Swing Access terrace door is designed to current ADA requirements with a low-profile threshold for easy access. Custom-manufactured in a single configuration, the outward swing door provides exceptional features and unmatched ease of installation.
The door’s incredibly compact 1/2 inch threshold is engineered for maximum accessibility between indoor and outdoor spaces. The Terra Swing Access door is also nearly effortless to open, requiring less than 5 pounds of force, fully compliant with the AAMA 513 standard for exterior doors. Meeting this benchmark ensures the Terra Swing Access delivers dependable accessibility without compromise.
Superior Thermal and Water Performance
With a U-Factor of 0.39 with a 0.24 Center of Glass (COG), the system provides reliable energy performance for today’s stringent codes. Its polyamide thermal break further reduces heat transfer to improve comfort and efficiency.
The door also carries a 15psf water rating, ensuring performance that matches adjacent window wall and curtain wall systems. This means architects can specify the Terra Swing Access door with confidence, knowing it maintains both energy and water performance at the same level as the surrounding facade.
Designed for Maximum Installation Efficiency
The Terra Swing Access door is engineered to make installation as efficient as possible for glaziers to keep construction on schedule. In addition to adjustable hinges that permit easy, post-installation field adjustments and door alignment, the design of the threshold provides distinct advantages:
- The low 1/2 inch threshold installs directly on the floor, eliminating the need to recess the concrete and reducing labor time on site.
- The threshold’s field-installed exterior trim allows for a continuous exterior perimeter seal without relying on a blind seal.
In addition to its installation advantages, the Terra Swing Access door is backed by a 10-year warranty, providing lasting confidence and reliability for every project.
