Materials

Hope's secure exterior windows are fabricated from 10- or 12- gauge A60 painted steel, steel, 12- or 14-gauge 302/304 grade stainless steel and solid, hot-rolled steel.

Windows are available in fixed and operable configurations; traditional steel, thermally-improved or thermally-broken construction.

Hope's hybrid steel + aluminum assembly incorporates interior (secure) steel or stainless steel sub-frame complete with integral reinforcing bars and tube mullions. The exterior utilizes a thermal break aluminum window that is factory attached to the secure interior frame. The combination assembly is cost effective and requires little facility maintenance.

Finishing

The strength, versatility, and performance of Hope’s steel windows and doors are enhanced and protected by the industry’s most comprehensive multi-stage finishing process. Our industry leading pretreatment and finishing process can be field applied and complies with ASTM coatings performance criteria including abrasion, adhesion, exterior exposure, graffiti resistance, humidity, QUV, and salt spray. Consult Hope’s for coatings to suit your specific application.

Fully Welded Construction

OTHERS: Tack Welded Construction

HOPE'S: Fully Welded Construction

A major point of differentiation for Hope’s products is superior strength. This strength is achieved by employing full-depth welding to permanently join metal framing members.

Hope’s standard welding process for sheet steel components utilizes a continuous weld to bond and seal corners ensuring maximum strength and weather tightness for the life of the product. This process is recommended for exterior windows and/or those frames requiring ASTM compliance with air, water, and impact.

For hot-rolled steel, Hope’s utilizes a fusion welding process to merge corner pieces into a single piece of steel using hydraulic pressure and electricity. The fusion welded corner is unique to Hope’s and offers unmatched strength. The fusion welded corner withstands twisting of a full 360° without failure.
