Hope’s Windows Inc. released Hope’s Old World Suite, its fully developed, tested and certified product line. The new product, with its thin arrow-shaped steel frame profiles, represents a return to Old World style, says the company.
“This suite of window and door profiles pays tribute to our century-plus legacy as a custom fabricator and our prominent expertise in historic preservation,” says Brian Whalen, Hope’s vice president of sales. “We have combined the unique aesthetics of an early 1900s era hot-rolled steel product with the strength and performance to meet present-day building code criteria. The result is a one-of-a-kind luxury window and door system, particularly well-suited for the residential market.”
Hope’s Old World Suite’s steel profiles closely resemble the ‘three-point casement’ profiles the company routinely used in the early 20th century. More recently, Hope’s developed steel arrow-shaped profiles in response to a need for historically accurate, high-performance replacement steel windows for a restoration project at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. The resulting steel profiles replicated and preserved the visual features of the historic buildings. The popularity of these profiles challenged Hope’s to develop a full product suite, according to the company.
The product suite also includes Hope’s Thermal Evolution technology.
Old World Suite steel windows and doors offer narrow sightlines with the ability to accept monolithic or insulated glass. The historically accurate profiles and sightlines are suitable for new buildings, as well as replacement projects, and for both interior and exterior applications.
Key product features include: true and/or simulated divided lite arrow muntins; unlimited fixed and operable window configurations; swing, pivot, sliding and folding door systems; and hot-dip galvanized pretreatment with Hope’s Power of 5 finishing system.
