Window Help Please


Just got a call from a highschool, they want me to supply and install four sliding windows, these windows are all aluminum, very smooth operation, bronze color. there is no brand on the window, the new windows dont have to match exactly. I am in the new york area, my photos show the existing masonry opening(the vinyl window was a temporary), and one of the windows i am trying to match. i need a good commercial window company that will provide custom sized aluminum windows, with a good install system for masonry, thanks G


existing opening

Re: Window Help Please


I'm sure you'll come up with a lot of ideas but this is what worked for us:
I called the folks that do this all the time, in our area there are several glass companies that very effectively and efficiently match and replace these type of windows every day. We found the right company and made some $$ lining everything up for them to do the job for us.

Re: Window Help Please


Sometimes, in a brief flash of
intelligence, the original building
specs are turned over to the
school maintenance guys.
Could be a help?
