Hope’s Windows Installed in New High-Volume Cook County, Illinois Correctional Facility
Hope’s® correctional steel windows were installed in the newest addition to the Cook County Jail’s sprawling 96-acre campus of buildings in southwest Chicago, the largest single-site jail in the country–housing 10,000 to 12,000 incarcerated people at any given time.
Hope’s team collaborates and consults with you to ensure your project design goals are met. We also offer design assist contracts to help architects or contractors with complicated designs. In addition, our shop drawings and designs can be reviewed and stamped by a licensed engineer in your state.
Planning and layout for Hope’s security products is done by our Engineering Department using CAD, then sent to Manufacturing for machining.
Component parts are cut from sheet steel using a punch press or laser. Once the sheet steel has been cut, parts are bent into the proper shape to form the frames and vents. Tool resistant steel rods and flats are cut on a special saw. After all of the materials have been prepared, welders begin to build each project. All seams or continuously back welded.
Finishing touches are then applied using a variety of tools to ensure a smooth, level, clean, and aesthetically-pleasing surface. Finished frames are pre-treated and receive a multi-coat paint finish bonding all edges and corners, and then baked. Assemblers fit all hardware, four bar hinges, friction adjusters, and other secure window components and attach glazing bead molding and thermal insulation and weatherstripping. If required, the windows will also be factory glazed.
