Awning Windows
Our awning windows provide 100% ventilation while resisting rain ingress. Designed with solid vinyl frames and double synthetic rubber gaskets, they offer superior air and water seals. Ideal for tropical climates, these windows crank open from the top, allowing breezes while maintaining security. Commercially rated 500 Series models handle high wind loads, and residential 200 Series options include easy-clean features. Customizable with CoastalGard impact-resistant packages for hurricane-prone areas.
Casement Windows
Casement windows deliver optimal airflow with side-hinged designs that crank open fully. Thermal-welded vinyl frames ensure durability against corrosion and UV degradation. Double cam locks provide security, while stainless steel components resist salt-air damage. Available in 500 Series for commercial use with reinforced frames, or 200 Series for residential applications with optional egress systems. Customizable grid patterns and glazing options enhance aesthetic and functional performance.
Slider Windows
Slider windows maximize oceanfront views while resisting environmental wear. Raised track systems prevent dirt accumulation, and Teflon operation ensures smooth, silent movement without rollers. Commercial 500 Series models withstand hurricane-force winds (155+ mph) with reinforced steel interiors. Residential 300 Series includes ventilating night locks and anti-lift panels. Available in 2-, 3-, or 4-panel configurations for unobstructed openings and enhanced egress capabilities.
Jalousie Windows
Jalousie windows offer classic island style with 100% ventilation. Corrosion-resistant vinyl frames and UV-stable slat holders ensure longevity. Available in 4-inch or 6-inch glass/poly-timber slats with optional CoastalSECURE packages for enhanced security. Commercial 500 Series includes designer slats and interior screens, while residential 300 Series offers cost-effective solutions. Ideal for tropical climates with patented safety features preventing slat removal in locked positions.
CoastalGard Impact Systems
CoastalGard systems reinforce windows and doors against hurricanes and forced entry. Engineered for high wind loads (exceeding 155 mph), these packages include laminated glass, reinforced frames, and stainless steel hardware.
