Specifications

Product Overview

When Key Largo homeowners need maximum performance and size capability, the Series 150 delivers what other single-hung windows can’t match. Pino Windows of the Keys recommends this premium option for demanding applications where standard windows fall short. The extra investment brings measurable benefits that become clear once you understand what sets this window apart.

The 3 3/8″ frame depth is substantially deeper than entry-level models, allowing installation of advanced glass packages with superior energy performance. In Key Largo, where properties range from modest fishing cottages to substantial waterfront estates, having this versatility matters. The deeper frame accommodates 15/16″ tempered laminated glass with heat-strengthened components, providing exceptional impact resistance and thermal performance.

Maximum sizing reaches an impressive 53 1/8″ x 96″. That 96″ height capability opens design possibilities unavailable with shorter windows. Key Largo homes with tall ceilings or special architectural requirements can use hurricane-rated windows rather than compromising with non-impact alternatives. The Large Missile rating holds up to this full dimension while Small Missile rating covers sizes up to 42″ x 96″.

Performance & Engineering

Florida Product Approval covers both Large Missile and Small Missile impacts with a design pressure rating of +80/-120 psf. That 120 psf negative pressure rating is significant. During hurricanes, wind creates powerful suction forces on the leeward side of structures. Windows need to resist both positive pushing forces and negative pulling forces. The Series 150’s engineering handles extreme conditions that would compromise lesser windows.

Ultra-lift balances are essential when dealing with the heavier glass required for these larger sizes. The counterweight system makes a 96″ tall sash practical to operate. We’ve removed old windows from Key Largo homes where residents gave up trying to open them because the weight and friction made it too difficult. Proper engineering prevents that frustration.

The heavy-gauge aluminum T6 alloy frame maintains structural integrity across these larger spans. T6 temper provides excellent strength-to-weight characteristics while resisting corrosion from salt exposure. Key Largo sits where Florida Bay meets the Atlantic, creating especially challenging conditions for building materials. Stainless steel assembly screws throughout the window ensure long-term durability in this environment.

Double weather-stripping provides redundant protection against water infiltration. The weep hole system allows any water that does penetrate to drain harmlessly rather than accumulating and causing damage. Flange frame design creates a positive barrier at the wall interface while simplifying installation. These details matter when tropical storms drive horizontal rain against your home.

Keys-Specific Benefits

Energy-efficient Low-E coatings are nearly mandatory in Key Largo’s climate. The sun’s intensity and extended summer season make cooling costs a significant household expense. Low-E glass reflects infrared heat while transmitting visible light. Your rooms stay brighter without the corresponding heat gain. Laminated insulating glass with argon fill further enhances thermal performance.

Unequal vent options allow you to specify which portion of the window opens, accommodating furniture placement or other practical considerations. Egress sash locks meet building codes for bedroom windows while maintaining life safety requirements. Equal leg adapters handle non-standard opening configurations. Extruded double-applied colonial muntins provide authentic styling when architectural context requires divided lights.

The sweep locks on the Series 150 provide secure closure across the entire sash perimeter. This distributed locking prevents bowing under wind load and maintains even weather-strip compression. Small details like chamfered lock profiles reduce stress concentration and extend hardware life.

Key Largo homeowners choosing the Series 150 gain maximum protection for unique architectural situations, exceptional energy efficiency for reduced cooling costs, extended size capability for special design requirements, premium materials for long service life, and comprehensive Florida Product Approval backed by thorough testing.
