How to Measure
The goal when measuring your jamb for our exterior steel double doors is to get the measurement from the outermost finishing of your exterior (stucco, brick, concrete, wood, etc.) to the face of the drywall inside. To get this measurement, make sure that you're including all parts of the building materials and the finishings.

Do I Need a Side Window or an Exterior Window?
There are very distinct differences between our side windows and standard exterior windows, which are listed below.
Side Window
Side windows are meant to be placed to the right or left of an existing PINKYS door. Unless otherwise requested, these side windows will come standard with a 6" jamb, and will have mounting tabs all around the perimeter of the window, meaning you will need to keep space between the door and the top window itself in order to install. If you need the side window to connect directly onto the side of a current PINKYS door, please contact our sales team for further assistance.
Exterior Window
Our standard exterior windows are meant to be used as standalone windows. If this applies to your application, please contact our custom sales team for more information.
Specs & Materials
Frame & Jamb
While these exterior thermal side windows do not have a separate frame, they do come standard at 6” thick (net size) and are made from cold-rolled air series steel. Custom jamb sizes are available via our made to order section.
Foam
These exterior thermal side windows come filled with a polyurethane foam core, which acts as a sound deadening material, and also provides some insulating properties for better energy efficiency. The foam also helps prevent moisture from accumulating inside the steel tubes, contributing to the door's longevity.
Nailer Fin
These exterior thermal side windows feature a 3" nailer fin around the entire frame of the window itself, creating a tight seal to keep exterior elements out.
Metals
Steel windows offer many more enhanced security features when compared to their wood, fiberglass, vinyl, or aluminum counterparts. These steel exterior fixed windows are made with cold-rolled air series steel, which contains a galvanized mix to help prevent corrosion and rust over time.
FAQs
How thick are your exterior steel fixed top window jambs?
While these exterior thermal side windows do not have a separate frame, they do come standard 6” thick (net size)
How does the window mount to the wall?
These exterior thermal side windows feature welded mounting tabs designed to be installed from the interior of your space. The tabs are inset to allow for 5/8” drywall to be installed flush with the face of the frame. Each tab features two pre-drilled lag holes for a more flexible installation, though only one lag bolt per tab is required. Bolt through applications or nailer fins are available via request through our custom sales team.
Is the jamb/frame galvanized or zinc coated?
While these exterior thermal side windows do not have a separate jamb, the windows do contain a galvanized mix to help prevent corrosion, rust, and finish issues when exposed to damp or moist conditions over time.
