The Firehouse – Chicago

Check out this great residential application of some bifolding LaCantina Doors! This thermally broken 7-panel system includes integrated Centor screens and a split finish of anodized clear aluminum on the exterior and classy anodized bronze inside.

While planning for the renovation of this historic former Chicago fire department building, the location’s proximity to the CTA had to be kept in mind. Triple-glazed windows and laminated safety glass within the doors protects against the rumbling of the train right behind this property.

Location: Ravenswood, Chicago
