The factory tour provides architects and design professionals with a firsthand look at the commercial aluminum window manufacturing process. Participants will follow the progression from shop drawings and material preparation through architectural aluminum and glass fabrication, finishing, final assembly, testing, and quality assurance, while learning how each stage contributes to the performance, durability, and quality of the finished window system.The tour will include anodizing and paint operations, where participants can see the finishing process firsthand. Participants will learn how aluminum finishing methods contribute to the durability, appearance, protection, and long-term performance of window systems.

 

The tour will also explore specialized manufacturing capabilities, Research & Development, and the role of advanced technology, craftsmanship, engineering expertise, and quality control in producing window systems that address project-specific performance, design, durability, and safety requirements. Participants will examine how materials, glazing technologies, and window system performance can contribute to occupant safety, energy efficiency, acoustical comfort, and protection from natural hazards and man-made threats.

 

 

Window selection, design, manufacture, and installation are explored at a basic technical level.  Recommendations for specifications and applications are included.  Design professionals will be provided with valuable information on different types of fenestrations, and review industry standard performance ratings, to support accurate product comparisons.

 

 

This program provides an overview of blast, hurricane, tornado, and behavioral windows.  Recommendations for application and specifications are provided.  The program will also review industry  standards, codes, and test methods.

 

 

This multimedia presentation reviews the history of fenestrations and aspects of replication of windows in historically significant buildings.  The course will cover several aspects of historic window including grids, muntins, shadow-lines, finishes, mullions, glazing, operations, and intricate details.  We will also discuss how to work with the local and regional Historic Review Committee as well as dealing with hazardous materials including lead, PCB’s, and asbestos.  Finally, we will discuss the pros and cons of the “replace vs renew” options concerning installation, thermal, acoustic, energy, light and recycling analysis.

 

This multimedia presentation will help attendees to better understand weathering performance and sustainable goals of architectural anodize finishes including strengths, weaknesses, weatherability and environmental considerations.

 

 

This multimedia presentation provides an understanding of hurricane windows.  Recommendations are given for application and specifications.  We will review the industry standards, codes, and test methods.

 

 

This multimedia presentation provides an understanding of behavioral windows.  Recommendations are given for application and specifications.  We will review the industry standards, codes, and test methods.

 

 

This multimedia presentation will review the FEMA P-361 and ICC 500 requirements for safe rooms, tornado-resistant glazing assemblies, an overview of testing requirements, and design ideas and solutions.
