Commercial Windows for Historical Landmarks & Installations Needing Security
A & S has been meeting the specifications of Landmark and Historical Preservation Commissions for years. We always strive to maintain the aesthetic qualities of the windows we are entrusted to replace. Craftsmanship was once the rule, but today the fast-prefabricated methods, have taken their toll on the qualities of the design and methods of construction of the past. A & S has the complete capabilities to match the pre-war 14" X 20" of 12" X 18" sizes, in addition we can furnish your clients with a perfect match to your specifications in both sizes and design. When true restoration is your goal for a commercial structure, the Series 200 from A & S is the window to specify.
All commercial projected sash shall be manufactured by A & S Window Associates, Inc. New York City
All members shall be made from new billet steel and shall be hot rolled steel bars with a minimum thickness of 1/8" and a depth of 1 3/8" for frame members and 1 ½" for ventilator sections. All joints shall be mortised and tenoned and riveted or welded. Muntin inter-sections shall be permanently interlocked by A & S' locked bar process. Double flat contact weathering shall be provided on all four sides of the ventilator. Ventilators shall be balanced on two 1" X 3/16" steel arms riveted to frame and ventilator. Rivet holes in arms shall have brass bushings. Uniform tension to hold ventilators in an open position shall be obtained by two sliding friction shoes of forged or stamped brass, securely riveted to a steel leaf spring designed to proper compression properties. The sides of the frame shall act as guides for the sliding friction shoe.
Combining the Series 200 Windows with the heavier Series 500 Door is a way of defining an entrance.
