Double-Hung Windows Data Sheet

Hardware

Meeting Rail Latch

Oxidized bronze alloy. Located at the center of the meeting rail, the latch’s cam action manually draws the sash into a locked position.

Finishes: Oil-rubbed Bronze (US10B), Lacquered Red Bronze (US20A), White Bronze (US26D).

Balances

Standard: Ultralift 88L series 670 heavy duty tube / spring balances, Heavy Duty BSI, or Amesbury Group fully concealed block and tackle balances mortised into the stiles of the operable sash.

Custom: Traditional weight and chain or clock spring balance systems are available on a custom basis. Contact factory for more information

Sash Locks (Included for oversized units)

Oxidized bronze alloy at midpoint of sash stiles. Turning the side latch compresses the weather-strip and locks the sash at each jamb.

Finishes: Oil-rubbed Bronze (US10B), Lacquered Red Bronze (US20A), White Bronze (US26D).

Egress: Properly-sized units meet egress requirements using standard hardware configuration.

Optional Hardware

Custodial locks, sash restrictors.

Insect Screens

1" x 1/4" tubular extruded frames in anodized bronze, mill finish aluminum or custom color painted aluminum. Mesh of 18 x 16 screen cloth held with vinyl spline, available in charcoal finished aluminum, mill finish aluminum, stainless steel or bright brass. Maximum width of screen mesh is 72". Wood-framed screens are available.

Glazing

All glazing is per project specifications. Duratherm can accommodate most configurations and make-ups from 1/8" single glazed to a maximum of 1 3/4" security glass.

Clear glass opening: Unit height minus 7 3/4", unit width minus 6 3/4".

Weather-Stripping

Double continuous extruded silicone flap gasket set in rebate around the perimeter of the sash. Engaging the lever handle compresses the weather-strip to ensure a tight seal.

Wood Species & Finishes

Duratherm sources all its materials by project, only from providers we know and trust. Many of our woods are from Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC- C108949) certified sources. We obtain others from sustainably-harvested plantations. Fourteen domestic and exotic wood species offer a wide range of colors, grains, and textures.

Please contact us for information about finishing options (including paint, Sikkens, clear laquer, stain, bleach stain, oil, etc.) and to discuss the use of a species not in our standard offering. We consider availability, durability, machining, and gluing characteristics to determine the feasibility of your choices.

Glazing

Dry Glazing

Specially developed extruded silicone gasket sets the glass by compression. Our proprietary system is long-lived, low maintenance and water resistant.

Wet Glazing

Our special silicone wet glazing compound bonds to the glass for long-lived sealing. Plus, our continuous extruded silicone weatherstrip runs around the frame perimeter and the seal is not compromised by seasonal expansion and contractions of the sash and frame.
