Pivoting window

aluminum

Pivoting doors have become a staple of the architectural glazing market and the smaller window version is quickly gaining popularity. A pivot window functions just like it’s door counterpart by pivoting left to right on a fixed axis. Pivot windows are beneficial when space is limited. Window configurations, like a casement open the entire length of the pane to the outside; for example, a 3’-0” wide casement window, will open outwards 3’-0.” A pivot window on the other hand, projects to the exterior and interior of a room, but requires less space in one direction. For example: a 4’-0” wide pivot projects 1’0” back into the room, while the remaining 3’-0” projects outward. The pivot function allows a larger opening and minimizes outside obstructions. This configuration can be particularly useful when neighboring buildings are located in close proximity or when local codes limit how far a window or door can project from the building. Solar Innovations, Inc.’s pivot windows are constructed from thermally enhanced aluminum; the framework will not rot, warp, or require constant finish maintenance. Each pivot window is custom designed to meet the end user’s specifications. Six standard paint finishes, two anodized selections, and custom colors are available in either liquid or powder coat finishes.
