| Proprietary Archetype Hardware |
| Archetype Rolling System |
Dissatisfaction with overseas hardware and our endless pursuit towards "making it better..." led us into a partnership with a Swiss bearing manufacturer. As a result of this union, our sliding doors come with rollers assembled in the USA, equipped with authentic Swiss bearings.
Exception: Fleetwood's entry level patio door, the Series 1000, has a rolling system similar to other sliding doors on the market. Our competitors market their rollers as"precision bearings" but we disclose the Series 1000 rollers as "sealed bearings" because they are not Swiss in origin and are from the overseas roller industry..Rolex versus Timex.
Note: This door is equipped with high performance, Swiss bearing rollers. Operate with care. |

Thermal Extrusions |
| Our designs have dramatically reduced the transfer of heat and cold through the extrusion by adding an insulator. Fleetwood uses two methods: Pour/De-bridge and I-Strut. The former process involves pouring polyurethane into an extrusion cavity and removing the underside once the liquid hardens. The I-Strut process involves mechanically joining a polyamide strut to two separate extrusions. Both are proven systems and each offers the Fleetwood Design Team with varying benefits. |
