  • "V6 holds all the AWS products so we can swap and change very quickly to suit the ratings. In this particular project, we had 618 doors throughout the whole house, but in the upstairs, with the radius curve on the top, a 618 door wouldn’t couple to the radius fixed panels above, so it wouldn’t comply. We were able to easily change this to a 704 door for the architect, builder, and owner to review."
