Drip Edge
These exterior steel push out windows with thermal break feature a drip edge directly above the operable push out window panel.

Hardware
Each of these exterior steel push out windows with thermal break include two locking handles (one on each side of the interior of the window) as well as four concealed friction hinges.
The locking handles include brass wedges attached to the frame of the window in which the handle will lock onto. The friction stays, located at the top, bottom, left, and right of the window secure the the push out window in the open position.
Weather Stripping
These steel exterior push out windows with thermal break come standard with pre-installed weather stripping around the entire perimeter of the push out window panel, as well as the frame. This creates a full seal and acts as a barrier from outdoor elements, helping to prevent cold or hot air from leaking out of the home, resulting in a much more energy efficient product.
Nailer Fin
These steel exterior push out windows with thermal break feature a welded 2.8” nailer fin around the frame of the window, and is designed to be installed from the exterior of your space. This nailer fin is inset to allow for a .9” of finish work on the exterior of your home, and includes pre-drilled holes around the entire face of the fin.

Metals
Steel windows offer many more enhanced security features when compared to their wood, fiberglass, vinyl, or aluminum counterparts. These steel exterior push out windows with thermal break are made with thermally broken Ottostumm cold rolled solid steel, drawing inspiration from 20th century design characteristics, with a modern twist. Thermal break models use a thermal barrier to interrupt the transfer of cold, preventing the cold air from penetrating to the interior of your home. This Ottostumm thermal break material, crafted from an advanced high-density polyurethane, provides the ability to satisfy the stringent regulations that many builds require with regards to energy efficiency.
