Direct-Set Windows
See more of the world outside with our Direct-Set Windows. Our innovative aluminum-wood composite construction provides strength and performance, affording incredible large-format views. Our Direct-Set window delivers unparalleled design versatility with limitless options for shapes, wood species, finishes, specialty glass, and combinations with other H Window products. Unrivaled performance, beauty, and design flexibility for residential and commercial projects.
Aluminum & Wood Composite
The Direct-Set Window is built with an aluminum-wood composite frame. Combining the strength and durability of extruded aluminum with the allure and thermal performance of wood maximizes each material’s inherent properties for long lasting performance and beauty.
Product Information
Interior wood frames are available in a variety of hardwood, softwood, and bamboo species including Forest Stewardship Council© certified materials. All wood materials are kiln dried and preservative treated to prevent deterioration.
Applied prior to assembly, our three-coat factory finish options include standard and custom paints, stains, and clearcoats.
Wood and bamboo are natural grain materials and will always exhibit individual characteristics and features. The overall look of the product will vary depending on grain, texture, and color of the wood. As such, these images are representative only and not to be considered an exact match of the final product.
Three finish options are available for our extruded aluminum profiles: powder coating, anodized finish, and Kynar® fluropolymer coatings.
Powder Coating, our most common finish, is highly durable in all environments. Select from our stock colors or custom colors.
Anodized finish gives any commercial or residential projects a timeless metallic aesthetic ranging from bright clear to deep black.
Kynar® PVDF coatings are exceptional for their ability to retain color and gloss keeping windows looking vibrant.
Rule of Thumb
Our standard maximum frame height or length is 144″. Our standard glass limit is 70 ft² for double-pane glass and 60 ft² for triple-pane glass, with the longest side 142” or less, and the shorter side not to exceed 90”. We can push beyond these standards using specialty glass and custom engineered reinforced frames.
Direct-Set frames can be configured with custom shapes and are easily combined into field-mulled arrangements with other H Window doors and operable windows.
Design versatility of our direct set window is amplified with customizable accessories including divided lites and extension jambs
