THERMALLY BROKEN ALUMINUM SERIES
metro 680 series aluminum windows & doors
For over 16 years, Optimum Window has been manufacturing custom tilt and turn windows and terrace doors in our aluminum series. We have been committed to utilizing the latest in thermal technologies; such as insulating struts, commonly known as a thermal break.
As energy costs continue to rise, thermal performance is more important than ever. But it’s equally important to maintain structural integrity and the architect’s aesthetic vision. As such, the struts utilized provide more thermal, structural and aesthetic benefits than any other thermal break system, delivering unmatched flexibility for system design. For its fabrication, Optimum uses its new machining center to create the necessary holes and slots required for different types of hardware.
All of our units are meticulously and proudly produced in the USA. Our continued focus on custom hardware applications and our ability to offer custom powder coatings keeps our products in the forefront. Optimum is persistent in its efforts to continue to lead as an environmental company. Our aluminum windows and doors are manufactured using recycled aluminum. In addition we solidify our commitment by recycling all aluminum scrap.
