Begin with the project address

Wind criteria, exposure, building height, opening location and local documentation requirements are project-specific.

Match the complete assembly

Frame, operation, size, glass, anchors, sill, structure and installation must align with the applicable documentation.

Plan for water and corrosion

Salt, wind-driven rain, finish, stainless hardware, drainage, cleaning and maintenance affect long-term use.

Do not extrapolate eligibility

A product available in one size or operation may not carry the same documentation in a larger or different configuration.

Turn the guide into a real opening schedule.

Keep every dimension, option, pressure, document, and delivery note connected to the same opening ID.

Start the configuration

Questions about this topic

Impact glass alone does not make an impact-rated window. The complete supported system and installation must match the project requirements.
