Question 1

Why choose aluminum window frames over wood or vinyl?

Accepted Answer

Solid 6063-T6 aluminum frames carry large glass areas with slim sightlines, will not swell, warp, rot or crack, and hold a factory finish for decades. Starting with premium aluminum and a high quality finish removes years of cyclical maintenance cost that painted wood assemblies demand.

Question 2

What alloy and joinery do you use in your window frames?

Accepted Answer

All window members are extruded from 6063-T6 aluminum alloy, and every joint and corner is sigma welded. Welded corners transfer load across the frame as one continuous section instead of relying on mechanical fasteners that can loosen over time.

Question 3

Do you manufacture window screens, and in which styles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build bug screens in two styles — flat and long leg — using roll formed aluminum framing with 16 x 18 charcoal fiberglass mesh secured by a vinyl spline. Screens are retained with traditional screen clips for tool-free removal and cleaning.

Question 4

Can you match an architect's drawings and non-standard openings?

Accepted Answer

Every unit is made to order from your dimensions, elevations and details. Radius heads, steel-look narrow profiles, historic replication, oversized fixed lites and custom muntin layouts are all fabricated in-house rather than assembled from stock sizes.

Question 5

How do thermally broken aluminum windows improve performance?

Accepted Answer

A polyamide or poured-and-debridged barrier separates the exterior and interior aluminum, interrupting conductive heat flow. The result is lower U-factor, warmer interior frame surfaces and far less condensation at the frame in humid or coastal conditions.

Question 6

Do you use petroleum products or timber in manufacturing?

Accepted Answer

No trees are cut and no petroleum-based frame material is used. Aluminum is infinitely recyclable, and a large share of billet supply is recycled content, which makes a welded aluminum frame one of the lowest lifecycle-impact choices available for windows and doors.
