Schools, hospitals and government buildings need windows that are safe, durable and easy to maintain for decades. SKATE aluminum windows combine secure hardware, laminated glass options and long-lasting finishes with the thermal and acoustic performance these buildings require.
What Public Buildings Need
Safety
tilt ventilation, restrictors and laminated glass that holds together if broken.
Durability
hardware and finishes that withstand heavy daily use.
Quiet, comfortable rooms
for classrooms and patient rooms.
Low maintenance
powder-coated aluminum does not need painting.
Recommended SKATE Systems

Casement and Pivot Doors - for entrances and corridors. → [link]
Safety Glass Options
Laminated glass bonds two or more panes with a PVB interlayer under heat and pressure. If the glass breaks, the fragments stay attached to the interlayer instead of falling. Dry-laminated PVB glass also stays clear over time, unlike liquid-resin (wet-process) laminates, which can yellow.
