Optimum's Fire Rated Double and Single Hung Steel Windows

Here at The Window Man we're pleased to carry Optimum's Series SC7650 fire-rated double and single hung steel windows.

These steel double and single hung windows have been proven to withstand temperatures in excess of 1650 degrees (900 degrees C) in laboratory tests. Even after 45 minutes of fire exposure all individual muntins, mullions, jamb members and sash components remained in position. Each window features two fusible link components made of slow melting alloy. When exposed to temperatures of 165 degrees or more, the links melt and automatically seal the window shut, which prevents the spread of smoke and fire to adjacent buildings.

Stop by any of our three Northern Virginia showrooms to see if the Series SC7650 windows are right for your renovation or new construction project.

Bronze and Stainless Steel Custom Windows

Northern Virginia's The Window Man is proud to carry Optimum Windows in all three of our area showrooms. Optimum is the only window company to offer galvanized, pre-painted, and cold rolled formed steel window and door products in the US.

Optimum's specialty metal line of windows are designed to meet the growing needs of architects and designers who wish to use a more elegant and exotic material for both private residences and commercial buildings. Optimum's bronze and stainless steel windows and doors have been placed in luxury homes where they have been chosen not only for their distinctive beauty but also their extreme durability.

Optimum's use of bronze alloy OT67 is especially desirable in areas where its almost unlimited life can weather the elements such as salt air, high winds and rain. Because both bronze and stainless steel add a distinctive look to architectural facades, their use is limited only by the creativity of architects designers and planners who develop unique commercial and residential projects. The technical staff at Optimum can assist construction industry professionals in maximizing the beauty and utility of these unusual precious metals in their designs.

Bronze windows and doors come in a natural finish with patina which could be polished, if desired. The stainless steel windows and doors are available in either a brushed or mirror finish.

Mon-Ray Custom Fit Classic Series Storm Doors

The Window Man's Mon-Ray Classic Series Storm Doors are the end result of over forty years of research, design and production. Pound for pound, no other storm door can compare to its overall strength, energy-efficiency and attractive, trim-line appeareance.

The exceptional strong tubular frame and Z-bar are made of tough T6 aluminum. This additional heat tempering gives the aluminum a special retention memory. When twisted, it will return to its original, straight-line shape. Because of the superior strength of T6 tempering, the aluminum extrusions in the classic door are not as thick and bulky as those in other doors. The result is a more attractive, trim-line appearance with more area for viewing and ventilating.

Each of the corners are neatly joined together with a solid aluminum gusset that is over 1/4" thick. The corner gussets are securely anchored to the frame with four stainless steel screws to prevent twisting and seperating. Sturdy, tubular, aluminum frame section will not easily bend, dent or sag.

For more information about Mon-Ray's other products, or about other storm door options for your Maryland, Virginia or DC home renovation or new construction project, stop by one of The Window Man's three area showrooms in Chantilly, Fairfax, and Alexandria.

The result is a triple unit with two air spaces without the weight of triple insulating glass and with far superior insulating and shading performance. The Window Man offers two types of Heat Mirror™, they are: HM 88 and HM 66. These range from the low reflectance, high-light transmittance performance of Heat Mirror 88 through the shading performance of Heat Mirror 66.
