Summary
A window built for ground-floor openings, laundry rooms, and secondary bedrooms where ventilation and forced-entry resistance both matter — combining the 325 Series frame and impact glazing with a built-in security barrier. [ESTIMATED SPEC SHEET — see confidence note below.]
Overview
The Security Window pairs Condado Window's standard impact-rated frame and glazing with an integrated anti-intrusion barrier — typically a steel security screen or bar insert set behind the operable sash — so a homeowner can leave the window cracked open for airflow without giving up forced-entry protection. It's a common request for ground-floor bedrooms, laundry rooms, and openings that face alleys, carports, or property lines.
Features
- Ventilation without compromise — Airflow and forced-entry resistance in the same opening, without resorting to permanently sealed glass block.
- Built on the 325 Series platform — Shares the same aluminum frame, impact glass options, and finishes as the rest of the Condado Window line.
- Discreet barrier design — The security screen/bar insert is designed to sit behind the operable sash rather than bolted over the exterior face.
- Custom sizing — Manufactured to the opening, matching the rest of the home's window line for a consistent look.
Technical Details (estimated — pending factory confirmation)
- Security barrier concept: steel mesh or bar insert integrated into the frame system (exact gauge and pattern to be defined by engineering).
- Base window mechanism (casement, projected, or single-hung) to be selected per opening and confirmed with the client.
- Hardware and weatherstripping expected to follow the same family as the base window type selected.
- These details have not been confirmed against a Condado Window factory spec sheet — treat as a starting draft, not a published spec.
Specifications (estimated)
- Frame: Aluminum alloy 6063-T6, consistent with the rest of the 325 Series.
- Glass: Structural silicone laminated impact glass, 5/16" or 7/16" with PVB interlayer (to be confirmed).
- Security barrier: Steel screen or bar insert (gauge, spacing, and finish pending engineering spec).
- PSF rating and Florida Building Code approval number: not yet issued for this product — do not publish a certification claim until engineering confirms and a real approval number is assigned.
FAQ
Does the Security Window replace the need for hurricane shutters? No — it's designed for daily forced-entry protection at an operable opening, not for storm-debris impact protection at the shutter level. It can be paired with a Combo Integrated Shutter for both.
Where is this window typically installed? Ground-floor bedrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and any opening facing an alley, carport, or shared property line where ventilation and intrusion resistance both matter.
