1 STEEL WINDOWS & DOORS PRODUCT GUIDE

2 STEEL WINDOWS AND DOORS Loewen steel windows and doors are the perfect complement of distinctive aesthetics and narrow sightlines that accentuate the design of your home. They provide an impressive combination of strength and robustness in the most slender, contemporary profiles available. Loewen Steel products offer a classic elegance for both modern and traditional architecture a feat that many dream of, but few can deliver. 2 3

3 AUTHENTIC DESIGN Loewen combines an exacting balance of personalized custom product design and repeatable high-tech manufacturing to provide our customers the best of both worlds. A vast array of profiles and connections allow limitless design and creativity. Technological improvements allow for superior fabrication and finishing techniques. With over a century of experience, our passion and knowledge of providing high-quality engineered products extends to our steel platform. Constructed with premium materials, such as cold rolled steel and glass-fiber reinforced polymers (GRP), Loewen Steel products provide superior strength, durability, and performance in the most demanding environments. 4 5

4 WINDOW TYPES Casement Inswing or Outswing Awning Hopper French Picture/Direct Set Fixed Casement DOOR TYPES Terrace and French Inswing or Outswing Sliding Patio* Multislide* LiftSlide* Pivot *Thermally Broken only PRODUCT DETAILS Most Loewen Steel windows and doors are built from four basic profiles. The simplicity of this system allows for maximum flexibility in design, without sacrificing performance or durability. With a narrow profile face width of 1 [25 mm] (operating profile of 1-9/16 ) and a depth of 2-3/8 (60 mm), intricate, yet stable, constructions can be created with large proportions of glass. Insulating Glass Exterior Seal Interior Seal Steel L-shaped glazing bead The thermally broken profiles provide excellent product performance and the integrated, premium weather-stripping ensures full engagement and a higher level of performance against water and air infiltration. Available in non-thermally broken profiles for use in specific climates or for interior use. Premium weather-stripping is standard for engagement and a higher level of performance against water and air infiltration. Sash Z Profile Thermal Break Drainage Profile Frame H Profile 6 7

5 316 STAINLESS STEEL Stainless steel profiles are desirable for both their corrosive resistant qualities and their aesthetic beauty. Recommended for use in coastal regions, industrial areas, and areas with corrosion and oxidation resistance requirements. 316 austenite steel is extremely corrosion-resistant to sodium and calcium brines. WEATHERING STEEL When exposed to the environment, a rich patina finish is formed on the surface of weathering steel. The patina finish is a rust layer that protects the underlying metal from further corrosion. The transformation in color ranges over time from the original grey color to browns and dark browns. The patina formation is similar to the aging process of copper or bronze, and is dependant on weather conditions. GALVANNEALED COATING ZF100 Most Loewen Steel products come with a galvannealed coating to protect against corrosion and provide an optimal surface for finish adhesion. Most steel fabricators do not provide this level of protection, but we know that your projects require this level of details and attention. Galvannealed is a significant improvement on the traditional galvanizing process. The steel is zinc coated in a hot dip coating process to assist in protecting against rust and corrosion resistance and then goes through an additional annealing process which vastly improves the formability and paint adhesion. Galvannealed steel is the preferred coated steel for use in architectural applications. BENEFITS: Comprehensive corrosion protection Superior weldability Outstanding coating adhesion Optimal surface quality Environmentally friendly (chromium free) 8 9

6 PERFORMANCE Wherever possible, our Loewen Steel units will be factory glazed with high-performance glass to align with the performance requirements of the environment. We offer countless glazing configurations, allowing you to select the proper combination needed to keep you comfortable year-round no matter where you live.

7 PREMIUM MATERIALS Cold rolled steel is processed in cold reduction mills, where the material is cooled (at room temperature) followed by annealing and/ or temper rolling. Compared to hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel provides superior strength, surface finish, and superior dimensional tolerances.

8 ALUMINUM GLAZING STOPS GLAZING STOPS AND MULLIONS An enhanced selection of glazing beads/stops in aluminum and steel porvides the perfect look for any architectural style. Available in a variety of profiles and materials, these glazings beads/stops will be fastened directly to the sash profile or attached with a hidden clip. Both methods will allow for re-glazing of the unit. INTEGRATED WEATHER STRIP RETAINER STEEL GLAZING STOPS 14 15

9 HARDWARE AND FINISHING From multi-point locks to precision handle sets, our hardware offers a first-class experience that perfectly complements the steel profiles. Built with premium materials and with the most precise engineering available to ensure that your steel windows and doors products operate smoothly for years to come

10 ENDLESS CHOICES Steel allows a vast array of finish choices and special treatments including textures, sheen levels and color variations. Our finishes are held against strict quality control measures to ensure that the finish is beautiful, durable, colorfast and robust enough to resist weathering, fading, and chalking. Alpine White White Linen Dover Grey Tuscany Brown Midnight Bronze CUSTOM COLORS Cranberry Woodland Green Hartford Green Chesapeake Blue Storm Grey Corretto Kodiak Graphite Stone Grey Country Road Black Riverbed When the question of personal style or design dictates a unique color solution, you can pick any color. Our in-house painting allows us to feature a variety of standard colors, along with a nearly limitless custom color palette. The integral cross matching system and color approval process ensures that you get the exact shade you want

11 Oil Rubbed Bronze TRUMETAL Black Iron TruMetal is a or coating of metal granules suspended within a specialized resin, creating a unique living finish. TruMetal can be polished, clear coated. These unique finishes allow your windows and doors to have a truly handcrafted finish that replicates that of fine sculpture or perhaps, a more rustic aged look.
