When considering windows for a new home, or changes on an existing building, almost everyone agrees that bigger is better. We want windows that give us the best view, the most light and the greatest connection to our surrounding landscape. When we choose to let others look inside our homes, we want windows that frame picturesque settings of cheerful parties, family dinners, stylish decor and festive holidays.

Window wall is one of the largest growing segments of commercial construction as it pertains to the window industry. The trend in the mid- to high-rise new construction market has shifted toward residential and mixed-use applications. People want living spaces to have a residential feel versus that of an office. To meet the market requirements of aesthetics, ventilation, flexibility, cost and speed.

Generally, when we think of operable windows, we think of casements that crank out, push out or swing in, awnings that open on the bottom, or of single- or double-hung units with a top and bottom sash that open. Thinking bigger, imagine the grandeur of having three or more double-hung units mulled together and topped with automatic crank-out awning windows; of two towering triple-hung windows flanking a giant fixed unit.

Topbright has developed a window wall system as a design alternative to conventional curtain wall. Window walls can meet these expectations by offering design features such as various ventilating styles from projected casement to sliding windows, as well as terrace and sliding glass doors, all seamlessly integrated in the design.
