Four Miles of Windows

 

 

EXTECH Children's Museum Animation

Four miles (if placed side to side) of our patented, top-hinged industrial windows were installed by EXTECH / Exterior Technologies, Inc., replacing old steel sash in this large building owned by the New York City Transit Authority.

EXTECH top-hinged windows offer the benefits of operating louvers, but at less cost. Like louvers, these windows can be left open during normal rainfall, thus providing ventilation as well as natural light. Other features include the option to use as windows or skylights and glazing with high-strength polycarbonate or glass. The system can be installed as unit windows/skylights or as continuous "wings" (as large as 7' high and 150' wide).

(After) Photo: The operating windows are powered by rack & pinion operators (shown at the right). Double weatherstripping at the window perimeters contribute to energy savings.
