The 425 Series Window wall has an ultra-narrow sightline of only 1". The curtain wall inspired "pressure bar" allows for large sizes, but the innovative design of the nail fin makes installation easy. When operable windows or hinged doors are mulled or inserted, all glass stays in plane.
With our Window Wall system, vertical structure can be created by utilizing a residential type common mull (as shown), which utilizes a thermoplastic mull clip to connect fixed or operable windows, hinged doors, or patio doors. When (2) fixed windows are common mulled the sightline is only 2" wide.
For those desiring the narrowest sightline possible, our window wall includes a 1-3/8" T-Bar option. The T-bar allows operable or hinged doors to be inserted, resulting in incredibly minimal sightlines with all glass in plane. Optional steel insert pockets add structure and allow for massive sizes.
Steel stiffeners are inserted and installed at our factory when the DP or structural requirements of the job call for it. No notching or anchoring tabs is required. Installation remains the same, and the steel inserts add so much strength they virtually eliminate the need for "structure by others."

This frame package comes either with a 1” setback extruded aluminum nail fin or a block frame perimeter with no fin. Fixed window wall sizes can be built so large they eliminate the need for structure by others in many conditions.

Mulling & Inserts

Common Mull

Our fixed window wall was designed with incredible versatility in mind, including the ability to common mull with most of our products (other fixed windows, operable windows, hinged doors, and patio doors). Utilizing a thermoplastic mull clip similar to our strut material, this common mull only has a sightline of 2” when mulled to another fixed window.

1-3/8” T-Bar

When the narrowest sightlines possible are desired, our fixed window wall includes an ultra-narrow 1-3/8” T-bar mull option that draws inspiration from commercial curtain wall designs. Glass can be inserted into the glazing pocket, or we can insert operable windows or hinged doors. When used for vertical structure, the 1-3/8” T-Bar has the exact same sightline as our as the 1-3/8” interlock option that is standard in our patio door and is an option in our multi-slide product. These matching sightlines allow architects to create a perfectly symmetrical exterior elevation across various product families.

Series 425

The USA locks up more people than any other country.

Our Window Wall products are named the 425 Series to draw attention to the fact that the USA has 4% of the world’s total population but has 25% of the world’s total prison population1. We are locking up more people and for longer duration than countries like Russia or China, and it’s not even close2. This hurts those that are incarcerated, and costs taxpayers over $182 billion a year3. Let’s work together to help combat mass incarceration in the United States of America. A great place to start is creating good jobs for those leaving prison. Learn more about our social mission by clicking the link Mission – Awake Window & Door Co. (awakewdc.com)
