A New Angle - Western vs Fleetwood

Phoenix, Arizona
This beautiful home by Christy & Co. Architecture featured many specialty multi-slide doors, including some massive doors that met at a custom 60 degree angle. Western has engineered extruded shapes that allow our doors to have the flexibility to meet most any custom angle requests and satisfy the unique needs of every architect.
Fleetwood struggles with multi-slides that meet at custom angles, and limits your selection to 90 or 135 degrees if you want an extruded aluminum shape where the doors meet (in lieu of makeshift brake metal). For a custom angle, they have told their dealers to add “$10,000+ to the order.”

Saying Yes vs saying no

Difficult Shapes

Western has developed a reputation as the one manufacturer in the industry that can meet most every challenge a customer presents. We are renowned for our ability to manufacture custom products that the competition is unwilling or incapable of creating. We pride ourselves on saying "yes" when others consistently say "no". Despite their complex nature, Western stands behind and builds these custom products to the same quality standards we do all of our product lines. Not only can we handle challenges…we handle them well. We work very hard to meet the unique needs of each of our customers because we know it is all of you that make our company successful. Our promise to you is we will always do everything we can to say "yes".

Fleetwood can make many custom products, but this page displays just a sample of some of the types of custom products Western confidently says "yes" to manufacture, while Fleetwood often says "no"…

Our Customers Say... - WWS vs Fleetwood
“Our architects come up with some of the most challenging designs and details I’ve ever seen. Every time we throw a custom request at Western they are able to help us achieve it and in turn help us achieve the design we are after.”
