Silver Lake Village | Nystrom
Location: Saint Anthony, Minnesota
Contractor: Doran Properties Group
The Project
The Silver Lake Village complex in Saint Anthony, Minnesota, is a 492-unit apartment community that includes two fourstory residences along with topline community amenities such as a 15,000 square foot clubhouse with a game room, fitness center, clubroom, and sprawling pool terrace for residents to enjoy. Nystrom was proud to partner with the developers and general contractors of the complex to offer HVAC Doors that addressed performance from both a functional and aesthetic standpoint, providing security and access along with an appealing look.
Silver Lake Village features a Single Packaged Vertical Unit (SPVU) in each apartment. The SPVU essentially sits in a dedicated closet and benefits from a door that provides a clean, unobtrusive and secure access point for easy servicing and maintenance.
The new Nystrom HVAC Door was presented as an option to the construction team. An upgrade from the pre-hung door that is typically used, the HVAC Door provides a more cost-effective solution and better fit for the application.
The installer commented that the HVAC Door is much lighter than the pre-hung door making it easier to install and transport around the site, and that it also installs much faster than a typical pre-hung door. “I like the fact the framing doesn’t have to be notched out for the latch like the other options,” he stated. “The larger one-and-a-quarterinch frame helps cover the cut out since they are typically not perfectly square. Plus, the frame and door has some flex so it can sit tight against an un-plumb wall.”
The Silver Lake Village Project Manager was impressed with the HVAC Door’s all-around cost savings and the fact there is no exposed hinge, which helps to finish it out better while keeping in mind the sound attenuation.
