Single-Hung Windows Data Sheet

Hardware

Meeting Rail Latch
Oxidized bronze alloy. Located at the center of the meeting rail, the latch’s cam action manually draws the sash into a locked position.

Finishes: Oil-rubbed Bronze (US10B), Lacquered Red Bronze (US20A), White Bronze (US26D).

Balances
Standard: Ultralift 88L series 670 heavy duty tube / spring balances, Heavy Duty BSI, or Amesbury Group fully concealed block and tackle balances mortised into the stiles of the operable sash.

Custom: Traditional weight and chain or clock spring balance systems are available on a custom basis. Contact factory for more information

Sash Locks (Included for oversized units)
Oxidized bronze alloy at midpoint of sash stiles. Turning the side latch compresses the weather-strip and locks the sash at each jamb.

Egress: Properly-sized units meet egress requirements using standard hardware configuration.

Optional Hardware
Custodial locks, sash restrictors.

Glazing

Dry Glazing

Specially developed extruded silicone gasket sets the glass by compression. Our proprietary system is long-lived, low maintenance and water resistant.

Wet Glazing

Our special silicone wet glazing compound bonds to the glass for long-lived sealing. Plus, our continuous extruded silicone weatherstrip runs around the frame perimeter and the seal is not compromised by seasonal expansion and contractions of the sash and frame.
