Eco-Guard™
Series 70

Fixed windows that don’t open, available in various architectural shapes like arches, triangles, and trapezoids. Pino Windows uses these to add character to homes while maintaining impact protection.

Specifications

Product Overview

Architectural windows add character that makes Big Coppitt homes distinctive rather than generic. The Eco-Guard Series 70 provides Florida Product Approved hurricane protection in specialized shapes that standard rectangular windows can’t duplicate. At Pino Windows of the Keys, we help homeowners specify these windows when design calls for arches, trapezoids, or other custom configurations that express individual style while meeting code requirements.

The fixed design allows architectural shapes that would be impractical or impossible with operable hardware. Try fitting multipoint locks and operators into a gothic arch or radius-top window. The Series 70 eliminates those mechanical challenges while maintaining full Large Missile impact approval. You get design flexibility without compromising protection.

Performance & Engineering

Maximum dimensions reach 32″ x 104″ for rectangular configurations, though custom shapes stay within those dimensional limits. That 104″ height capability accommodates dramatic vertical elements like tall narrow windows flanking entry doors or transom installations above standard openings. The relatively slim 2 1/8″ frame depth keeps profiles modest while maintaining structural integrity.

Florida Product Approval for Large Missile impact with design pressure of +60/-60 psf brings these specialty windows up to code compliance for Big Coppitt’s exposure. Heavy-gauge aluminum T6 alloy construction resists corrosion while providing the structural strength needed to maintain shape integrity in custom configurations. Stainless steel assembly screws ensure long-term connection reliability.

The 5/16″ heat-strengthened glass handles standard applications while optional packages accommodate specific performance requirements. Glass color options include clear, gray, bronze, green, azuria, and obscure with white interlayer. This variety allows matching different aesthetic preferences or managing solar heat gain through tinted glass that reduces visible light transmission along with heat.

Energy-efficient Low-E coatings work across all glass colors, providing solar control regardless of tint selection. The coating reflects infrared heat while allowing varying amounts of visible light through depending on glass base tint. This flexibility lets you control both appearance and thermal performance independently.

Extruded double-applied colonial muntins create divided-light appearance in architectural shapes where traditional construction would be difficult or impossible. The muntin profiles include flat-flat and ogee-flat options available in colonial, Brittany 6, and Brittany 9 patterns. Applying muntins to custom shapes requires careful fabrication; having factory-applied options ensures proper fit and appearance.

Keys-Specific Benefits

Architectural shapes deserve specific mention because they define this window’s purpose. Arches, circles, triangles, trapezoids, and various radius configurations allow design expression that standard rectangles can’t achieve. Big Coppitt homes gain character through these special shapes while maintaining consistent hurricane protection throughout all window openings.

The manufacturing process for architectural windows differs from standard production. Custom shapes require individual fabrication rather than assembly-line efficiency. This affects lead times and costs compared to rectangular windows pulled from stock. When requesting quotes, provide accurate measurements and clear shape specifications so estimates reflect actual requirements.

Installation of architectural windows demands careful attention to rough opening preparation. Non-rectangular shapes don’t forgive framing errors the way standard windows might. The openings need precise dimensions and proper shape configuration for windows to fit and seal correctly. Working with experienced installers prevents costly corrections during installation.

The flange frame design adapts to various wall thicknesses and construction types while creating proper weather barriers. Flashing details become more complex with custom shapes because standard pre-formed flashings don’t fit. Proper installation protects the rough opening from water intrusion that could undermine surrounding structure.

Fixed windows eliminate maintenance concerns associated with operating hardware, but glass and seal inspection remain important. Coastal environments stress weather seals through temperature cycling and salt exposure. Periodic inspection catches small issues before they become significant problems. At Pino Windows of the Keys, we include these specialty windows in regular service programs.

Big Coppitt homeowners choosing Series 70 architectural windows gain custom shapes for unique design expression, full hurricane protection in specialty configurations, various glass colors and performance options, factory-applied muntin patterns available, and proven construction for coastal environments. Get accurate estimates from Pino Windows of the Keys with detailed shape documentation requirements, appropriate glass specification guidance, realistic lead time expectations, and professional installation ensuring your Big Coppitt home showcases distinctive style with complete protection.
