American-Owned Door Company Will Display Locally Sourced, Advanced, Sustainable, Green Manufactured and Custom Designed Door Systems
CHICAGO, June 24, 2014 – International industry innovator Total Door Systems (TDS) will be showcasing its fully integrated door systems at Booth #2442 in Chicago’s McCormick Place, at the American Institute of Architects Convention.
The AIA Convention is an annual event that attracts domestic and international companies that are advancing the architectural sector with new materials, products and technology. Privately-held, American-owned and operated, Total Door Systems leads the industry in innovation and performance of custom design and build of fully integrated door systems throughout the world. TDS maintains the integrity of the architect’s design intent, accommodating nearly any veneer or decorative face, and infinite finishes.
TDS engineers all components at its world-class facility in one patented system instead of using separate parts from different manufacturers, and offers a range of design solutions to complex fire-rated and hold-open, including cross corridor/area separation, elevator lobby and elevator shaft smoke doors.
Committed to sustainable manufacturing and local sourcing, TDS was recently acknowledged by both the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center and the Society of Engineers for their ‘Best Practices’, which was a direct result of its fully integrated door systems being made up of 98 percent locally sourced material, 25 percent recycled steel, 80 percent post-consumer content and 20 percent post-industrial recycled materials.
