Windows & Window Film Old World Suite Steel Windows and Doors
by Hope’s Windows

THope’s Windows, Inc. revealed its fully developed, tested, and certified product line—Hope’s Old World Suite. The new product, with its thin arrow-shaped steel frame profiles, represents a return to Old World style with the benefit of over 100 years of advancements in modern performance.

Hope’s Old World Suite’s steel profiles closely resemble the “three-point casement” profiles that were routinely in use by the company in the early 20th century. More recently, Hope’s developed new, modern steel arrow-shaped profiles in response to a need for historically accurate, high-performance replacement steel windows for a restoration project at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. The resulting steel profiles replicated and preserved the visual features of the historic buildings.

Old World Suite is the culmination of over a century of technological innovation: A complete product line that combines the striking visual appearance of the past with performance of the present, including Hope’s innovative Thermal Evolution technology.

by Sightline Commercial Solutions

A Sightline Commercial Solutions (formerly Trex Commercial) introduced Ascent Glass Windscreen. Ascent Glass Windscreen is engineered with a qualified wind load of 80psf—eight times the industry standard—and this post-supported glass system takes commercial design possibilities to new heights by delivering unparalleled wind protection and allowing for applications at virtually any altitude.

The aluminum and steel used to construct windscreens provide the framework for a robust final product. Specifically, the steel stanchions and snap-fit posts help support the glass infill and pressure plate. The company finishes it off with silicone and screws, making sure the glass windscreen is secure and polished. Windscreens serve much more than a functional purpose; they add a vital architectural element that enhances aesthetics as well as safety and comfort.

The Ascent Glass Windscreens are sleek, modern, and accommodating to many buildings’ aesthetics. The Ascent windscreen comes with anodized, powder-coated, and Kynar finishes.
