Configurations
Western's Series 100 operating windows are available in horizontal sliding, single hung and fixed. Our "combination window" which integrates a rectangular picture window over a horizontal slider is ideal when the application calls for a large view window and ventilation. Almost any combination of fixed and operating windows can be stacked or mulled in the same plane using our basic window mullion. They can also be mulled into a bay configuration at any angle from 90 degree to 135 degree using our adjustable bay mullion. The frame depth is 2.81", the same as our Series 700 Hinged Window. This common dimension allows us to mull Series 100 with Series 700, or insert either of them into our Series 600 Window Wall System.
Frame Finishes
Frame finishes are available in virtually any color of high performance Kynar paint, as well as Dark Bronze and Clear anodized. Our most popular frame finishes are Warmtone Tan paint and Dark Bronze anodized. Western maintains a significant inventory of these two finishes to facilitate competitive pricing and short lead times.
Screens
All Series 100 operating windows include insect screens with frames finished to match the window frame color. They are wired with a charcoal colored vinyl coated fiberglass mesh that is resistant to damage and is almost transparent when viewing through the window. The screens are mounted to the outside and are simple to remove for window cleaning.
Glass
All Series 100 windows are designed to accommodate DUO-PANE® insulating glass manufactured with a .50" air space to maximize the benefits of high-performance Low-E. XO and Single Hung windows are available with a variety of glass types and colors, but are limited to 3/4" over-all Duo-Pane units. Fixed windows can be glazed with any thickness from 3/16" to 1". Western manufactures its own insulating glass in-house; please see our brochure on DUO-PANE® Insulating Glass for more information.
Single Hung
Single hung windows slide vertically to provide an opening at the bottom. Typically the vent height is 24", or half the window height if the window height is less than 48". You may specify the desired vent height as long as it does not exceed half the window height or 12ft x 2. When a single hung window is required to meet egress, consult our office to confirm the proper vent size. Single hung windows are available up to 48" in width and 96" in height.Our single hung has been tested and is certified to a rating of C30, up to a frame size of 54" x 96", with a vent and fixed panel size up to 54" x 48". The C30 equates to a design pressure of 30 pounds per square foot, the equivalent of a 108 MPH wind speed.To control the vent panel in the open position, our single hung windows are equipped with block and tackle type balances. For security, a positive acting cam lock engages an integrated strike in the frame center bar.
Horizontal Sliding
Horizontal sliding windows are commonly referred to as XO or OX. As viewed from the outside the vent panel of an XO is on the left, and is typically one-half the overall width. An XOX provides a vent on the left and right, with a fixed panel in the center. Each vent panel is typically one-fourth the window width and the fixed panel is one-half. Since every window is manufactured to your specifications, don't hesitate to get creative with different vent widths. XO configurations are available up to 96" in width and 72" in height with a maximum overall size of 40 square feet. XOX windows are available up to 120" in width and 72" in height with a maximum size of 50 square feet. Combination windows are available up to 120" in width and 96" in height with a maximum size of 60 square feet. Our slider has been tested and is certified to a rating of C30 with a frame size up to 156" x 72", vent panel size up to 48" x 70" and fixed panelsize up to 58" x 68". The C30 equates to a design pressure of 30 pounds per square foot, the equivalent of an 108 MPH wind speed.To ensure smooth, quiet operation each sliding panel is equipped with durable Acetal plastic rollers mounted in nylon housings. For security, a positive acting cam lock engages an integrated strike in the frame center bar. Structural integrity is achieved by using heavy wall extrusions throughout, with tubular extrusions at the vent panel stiles.
Fixed
Fixed windows can stand alone or in combination with Series 100 or 700 windows.They are available in arches, circles, trapezoids or almost any geometric shape desired. Frames for segmented butt glazing are a common application of the Series 100 fixed window. The Series 100 fixed has been tested and is certified to a rating of F-C50 up to a size of 60 x 120. The F-C50 equates to a design pressure of 50 pounds per square foot, the equivalent of a 140 MPH wind speed.
