Steel placement and size is CRITICAL for locating your windows and doors.

Steel placement and size is CRITICAL for locating your windows and doors. Contemporary architecture is full of these corner transitions and the set back should follow the intended window and door reveal. However, sliding door tracks are often much wider than the columns being specified.

This is one of the key structural elements I focus on in plan review to call out potential problems with column size, wall thickness, counter heights, perpendicular wall framing, slab and beam conflicts, and more.

I help architects, builders, and owners select, specify, and detail luxury residential hurricane glazing systems without manufacturer or dealer biases.
From just one hour to as many hours as you need a glazing expert for your project.

I also give classes in all aspects of hurricane windows and doors on glass aesthetics and energy performance, manufacturer product overviews, detailed installation planning and best practices, and understanding hurricane product approvals.
