Windows for metal buildings, pole barns and warehouses.
Windows for steel buildings, pole barns, shops and warehouses: vinyl built to the opening, or thermally broken aluminum for commercial work. Supplied from Cleveland.
D.W. Ross supplies the windows; the contractor doing the work installs them. If you don't have an installer, we can recommend one from our list of trusted contractors.
The building, the opening sizes, how many, and the color. Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM.
The opening was framed for the building, not for a stock window.
Metal buildings get framed openings sized for the job, and a stock window often doesn't fit them. A window built to the opening does.
For a shop, a barn or a building with an office in it, vinyl is the usual answer. For a commercial building, a warehouse or a loft conversion, thermally broken aluminum.
Either way, tell us the openings and we'll work out the windows before anything is ordered.
Windows we supply for metal buildings.
Vinyl, built to the opening
Silver Line 1200 and 8600 double-hungs are built to order to the quarter inch, for openings that aren't a standard size.
Custom-size vinyl windowsStandard sizes, when they fit
Lower-priced lines, such as the Silver Line 5700, come in standard sizes only. If the openings were framed to a standard size, they are the simpler order.
Vinyl windowsA dark exterior
Two-tone vinyl: one color outside and another, often white, inside. We can match from a Sherwin-Williams color number, so the windows can match the building's trim.
Two-tone vinyl windowsThermally broken aluminum
Aluminum inside and out with a thermal break between them, so the frame doesn't carry cold straight through. Project, fixed and hung windows, anodized or painted.
Thermally broken aluminum windowsReplacing old steel warehouse windows
At the Federal Knitting Mills building in Ohio City, thermally broken aluminum replaced steel putty-set windows. The new glass is low-E and argon-filled.
