W indows are an essential option in many walk-in cooler and freezer applications, but they can also become a source of environmental maintenance problems. While the benefit of being able to view operations or product, or safely operating the door in a crowded situation, is obvious, windows can leak cold, be a source of energy loss, and cost a bundle of money in energy costs.

R-Plus Doors offer windows starting at 14" x 14", and can be manufactured in many custom sizes depending on the application requirements. The window glass is a 1" triple pane tempered insulated unit. The durable aluminum frame has a thermal barrier built into it to diminish cold transfer. This attention to design and detail in windows matches our work on our doors.
