Larger orders can take additional time to complete
We ship all across North America and can also accommodate international shipping needs.
Local NYC shipping takes 1-3 days. Within contiguous 48 states it generally takes 7-14 business days depending on your location. International deliveries vary based on customs and final destination.
Blueprintdoor does not install. However the installation of our product is fairly straightforward for a carpenter or general contractor and our production team is always available to answer any questions. Installation manuals are provided to supplement our system drawings to help contractors.
Panels are either 2-1/4” or 1-3/4” thick depending on the model you choose. REF: The Products tab online & view ‘Panel Design’.
Model 225 is 2-1/4” thick
Model 175 is 1-3/4” Note: N/A for some systems; REF: system pgs.
Panel weights vary according to insert and lattice specifications. The following is an estimated range:
Model 225 weighs approximately 2.5-3.5 lbs/per sq. ft.
Model 175/175F weighs approximately 2.0-3.0 lbs/per sq. ft.
Our panels are always fully suspended without the use of a floor track except for pivots and fixed systems.
Yes, 48” is the maximum width per door for heights between 96” and 120” where no floor track is needed. A maximum width of
72” per door for heights 96” or less. It’s recommended that doors exceeding 48” wide are installed with longer floor guides with reduced opening clearance. If full opening clearance is required, use a floor track and door guide to help minimize flex. Our floor tracks are recessed flush into the finished floor.
Frames are made from medium density fiberboard (MDF) for added stability and finished in a selection of
high quality laminates or real wood veneers. Our MDF materials are made from recycled wood products and new growth woods. And additional LEED compliant options available. We have laminate frames with no added urea-formaldehyde. REF: Frame de-tails.
Acrylic/resin is used as our insert layer and is available in varying levels of opacity and decorative options. Resins are also available with 50% recycled content. Solid insert layers can also be used. REF: Insert details on our website.
No. The key to our patented panel’s strength, light weigh and durability comes from its unique marriage of frame and insert materials that have similar flexibility and machining characteristics. Glass is too heavy and rigid for our design. In fact the Blueprintdoor panel can be made with virtually any 1/4” material provided its machinable with wood tooling and has a smooth non-raised or embossed surface on either side. There are many variations of acrylic/resin to suit many design and technical criteria. “Scratch resistance,” “made from recycled material” and “flame rated” are the most common requests and all can be specified.
Sound transmission can vary depending on how a panel or system is installed. Our framed panels dampen sound, however they are not soundproof. Our 1/4” acrylic/resin inserts are comparable to glass of equivalent thickness. We fall approximately between 25 to 30 STC rating.
A warm, damp cloth is recommended for basic cleaning of the acrylic/resin insert layer. Acrylic-specific cleaners or Naptha can be used to remove grease or other hard to clean residue. All other non-resin/acrylic surfaces can be cleaned with any general purpose, non-abrasive surface cleaner. Please refer to our cleaning instructions for products specific to resin/acrylic.
