thermal break

For harsher environments we offer “Thermal Break” on both our frame and panels. Thermal break lowers u-factors, limits condensation, increases energy performance, and most of all reduces thermal conductivity. High humidity and extreme hot or cold temperatures are not an issue when choosing a Western 600 Series Sliding Patio Door.

aluminum frame finishes

If you have a color you’d like to use for your window and door products, we can provide it. Whether anodized or painted, we can generally match any color you are after. On top of unlimited color options, Western uses the highest quality finishes available today. For painted products, nearly all of Western’s colors are Kynar finishes which conform to a minimum rating of AAMA-2605 (which is the highest rating available for organic finishes today). For anodized product, our Dark Bronze anodized finishes receive a Class 1 rating which is the highest and most durable rating available for anodized aluminum finishes (our Satin Anodized is Class 2). Dark Bronze anodized is our most popular finish and has the best price point and production lead time. The other colors shown below are examples of Western “designer” colors which are available for a discounted price over a custom color match. These colors are for representation only. Please contact your nearest dealer or dealer representative for a full color sample list of our aluminum frame finishes and designer colors.

aluminum woodgrain finishes

Another popular choice for frame finishes include our aluminum woodgrain finishes which meet AAMA 2604 specifications and come in a great variety of colors and shapes. Below are some examples of choices provided direct from Western Window Systems. If you have further questions on the choices listed below please contact your nearest representative for more information.

hardware

Smooth, quiet, and long lasting operation is assured by Western’s heavy-duty tandem roller assemblies. Whether you specify a Narrow Stile with 1.5” diameter rollers, a Medium Stile with 1.81” diameter rollers, or our 3” diameter Monster Roller, the assemblies are capable of handling more than twice the weight of the largest panel available. A fully mortised steel hook lock engages an adjustable stainless strike plate for added strength and security. The operation of oversize panels is simplified by a custom extruded aluminum open pull handle that is strong and comfortable to use. And like most other Western

product, prep for custom hardware by others is also available. A stainless steel hardware package is optional, and strongly recommended for coastal applications. For handle options, we make available our Standard Handle, our Premium Handle, and our Flush Handle for Sliding Glass Door systems. glass

Western’s 600 Series Sliding Patio Doors are designed to accommodate Duo-Pane Insulating glass manufactured with a ½” air gap to maximize the benefit of high performance Low E. They can also be glazed with a variety of glass types, colors, and configurations in thickness from 7/8” to 1” Duo-Pane.

screens

Consistent with the structural integrity and clean lines of the door construction, the screens are manufactured using full-hollow, tubular, hat shaped aluminum extrusions with an integral screw brace, resulting in a strong, rigid frame with tight hairline corner joints. Each screen is equipped with a pair of adjustable ball bearing rollers at the bottom and a pair of steel tension rollers at the top. All of this extra quality is to ensure a smooth, effortless operation. The screen frame extrusions receive the same finish and color as the door extrusions, so there will never be a difference in appearance, short term or long.

thresholds

Our standard Sliding Glass Door threshold has an interior sill height of 1.5”, and meets the AAMA C30 commercial specification. For mid-rise applications, or design criteria requiring increased water protection, we can provide our HC40 threshold with a sill height of 1.75”. When handicapped access is a consideration, we have an improved access threshold that has been used successfully on many hotel projects.
