GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
All Fyre-Tec architectural steel windows are manufactured from first
grade materials. Our quality control procedures assure the end user
a product
designed for many years of productive service.
Fyre-Tec products are distributed throughout the United States by
a network of agents and representatives familiar with local building
and fire code requirements.
MATERIAL
Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ windows are fabricated from
galvanized cold rolled steel sections. These proprietary sections
are roll-formed from prime galvanized steel into shapes designed
to impart strength and durability. Additionally, the tightly formed
sections allow the Fyre-Tec window to offer a narrow site-line allowing
for maximum glass (lite) area while maintaining the strength necessary
for a rated window.
FINISH
Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ steel window components are
thoroughly cleaned and phosphitized prior to powder coating with a selection
of standard colors (See standard colors offered on this site) or
coated with baked alkyd enamel to project specified custom matched
colors. All components are painted after welding and prior to assembly.
FRAME CONSTRUCTION
Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ frame members are fabricated
to form tight miter joints, secured by welding. Sill members incorporate
weeps to allow for water drainage. Frame members accommodate optional
framing and trim attachments (fins, channels or casing trim).
PANEL & INSERT CONSTRUCTION
Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ panel and insert members are
fabricated with tight miter joints and secured by welding. They incorporate
pile-type weather-stripping with an integral sealing fin around the
entire perimeter. Meeting rail members incorporate full length mechanical
interlocks which engage in the closed position. Horizontal sliding
inserts incorporate an adjustable roller assembly at each bottom
corner. Single-hung panels are supported on both jamb sides with
heavy-duty spring balances. Fixed inserts pocket into frame members
and are secured in place with anchoring clips. Muntins, when required,
are welded in place to become an integral part of the panel or insert.
GLAZING
Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ windows accommodate single strength
to
3/4 inch insulated approved glazing material. Glazing material is
held in place with full-length roll-formed steel snap-in retainers.
(See glazing options offered on this site.)
SCREENS
Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ screens are fabricated from
roll-formed galvanized steel sections with mitered corner joints.
Screen framing is painted to match window frames. Screen cloth is
composed of fiberglass (standard) or aluminum mesh (optional).
USES
Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ products are suitable for industrial,
commercial, institutional, school and residential use. Fire rated
models are
also suitable as lot line windows.
INSPECTION
Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ window members and assemblies
are inspected by the window manufacturer at the factory to assure
operational and dimensional quality assurance.
INSTALLATION
Installation of Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ steel windows
has been has been
simplified. Sub-frame mounting or fin system mounting kits are supplied
with windows. Retrofit or new construction installation may be accomplished
by prepositioning the head channel and exterior jam angles, inserting
the window and then entrapping it by installing the interior jam
and sill angles. Installation of our steel windows in new construction
may be accomplished by affixing the provided mounting fin system
in one of four positions
to the window frame and then fastening the fin and window in place
to the construction framing. The fin is then covered by subsequent
construction. Installation details and drawings are depicted elsewhere
on this site.
ERECTION
Installation of Fyre-Tec™ and Prime-Tec™ steel windows
by other than factory trained representatives shall be in accordance
with manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. All steel window
frames shall be installed plumb, level and square without bending,
twisting, or otherwise distorting window members. Installation instructions
are furnished with each window.
