Questions before you order
Will these pass a Florida HVHZ inspection?
This model is not covered by a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and we do not present it as if it were. We hold active NOAs on hurricane-zone systems — casement, fixed, awning, sliding glass door and storefront — and will tell you which one fits your opening if your job is in HVHZ. We do not claim an impact rating on a product that has not been tested for one; that is exactly what fails an inspection.
Do I get stamped drawings and the approval number before I order?
Yes — with the quotation, not after the order. Shop drawings carry a Florida-licensed engineer of record’s seal, and if the system holds a NOA, the exact number covering your opening is issued in writing at that same point. A supplier who only produces drawings once you are committed has moved their risk onto your schedule; here the paperwork arrives before the decision, not after it.
What happens if a unit arrives wrong — who pays for the delay?
We do. If a unit does not match your approved drawings, or has a manufacturing defect, we replace or repair it at no cost to you — send the order number and photographs and we start it the same day. The honest constraint worth knowing: a replacement is manufactured and shipped like any other order, so the realistic timeline is production plus freight, not days. That is the strongest argument for ordering a small contingency on a large project.
Can you meet a 9-week schedule, or is that best-case?
It is the figure we confirm in writing before deposit, against a real production schedule — not a best-case number used to close the sale. 9–10 weeks door to door already includes production, ocean freight, customs and final delivery in one figure. That said: non-standard sizes, special finishes and large combinations do take longer in production, and we say so at quotation, not after you have already paid a deposit.
Who holds the warranty — you, or someone overseas?
We do. One company on the contract, one warranty, one point of contact — you deal with NEXWD from the quotation through to a claim years later, and there is no second party on the other side of the world for us to hand you off to. Ten years standard on frame, hardware and screens; an optional 20-year upgrade on glass, transferable without proration. Ask this question of every supplier you are comparing — the answer tells you more than any brochure.
Do you provide CAD/BIM for my submittal?
Yes, free, and at quotation — drawn from our own production drawings, not a generic template, and not gated behind an account or a minimum order. NFRC data, size-versus-pressure tables and section details are included.
Overview
A ground-floor storefront system: framed glazed bays with door openings, on a 4 5/16" frame depth in both the vertical and the plan section, detailed for street-level exposure. The catalogue draws the line by height — up to 13 ft, this is the system to use, and the standard configuration is described as typical ground-floor retail at 10 ft or less. It is non-load-bearing and relies on the building structure for support, which is precisely what makes it a ground-floor system rather than a curtain wall.
Against the deeper window wall systems the difference is not just depth but how it goes together. The 120S, 150S and 180S are stick systems glazed with pressure plates for elevations that run to 14, 24 and 65 ft. This one arrives as pre-assembled units that clip directly to one another on site: align the units, check the visible faces are flush, and fix. Contractors surveyed reported halving the number of installers needed on large combinations. Sightlines are 1 3/4" at the head, sill and outer jambs with 2 1/2" at intermediate transoms and mullions — a deliberately light frame, and a maximum-view variant runs seam-to-seam glass with the mullions reduced further.
Glazing is where the system is tuned to its use. It takes anything from a double-pane thermally controlled insulating unit to a triple-pane build-up, or an insulating laminated unit where impact resistance and sound damping matter on a street frontage. Published energy figures for a picture window are U 0.31 with SHGC 0.25 double-glazed and U 0.25 with SHGC 0.23 triple-glazed, and the catalogue is explicit that different glass specifications are available where local code demands different ratings.
The frame is 6060-T66 aluminium with the main load-carrying sections at 2.0 mm or thicker and a nylon PA66 thermal break separating inner and outer sections. Glass can be built with a low-E silver coating, argon fill and a warm-edge spacer, tempered or laminated with a PVB interlayer, or specified frosted, switchable, bird-friendly or tinted where a tenant wants privacy or a bird-safe frontage. Finishes are powder coat, fluorocarbon coat or anodising, in the full RAL K7 range, and the system is normally combined with glazed entry doors in the same frame family.

Mounting and frame options
The frame type decides the rough-opening detail, the flashing and how much of the existing wall has to come out. Four are available; tell us the wall build-up and we will specify which one your opening needs.
The standard new-construction frame. The flange laps the sheathing so the unit sets and seals in one operation.
A 1 3/8" flange is available where the cladding build-up needs the extra reach.
Installs over an existing aluminum window frame, so the stucco exterior is left intact. No cutting back and repatching.
Available on selected window types — ask us which of your openings can take it before you price the stucco work.
For full removal, when the existing frame is rotten or damaged and has to come out entirely.
Sets into the existing rough opening, and arrives with the through-the-jamb holes pre-drilled and the screws supplied.
Straps fix to the frame, which lets the unit sit anywhere in the depth of the wall cavity rather than at a fixed setback.
Installs from the interior, and works for both new construction and replacement.
Full CAD details for any of these are available on request for your wall assembly.
Factory-joined combinations for large openings
Multi-unit combinations are joined in the factory and delivered as one assembly, so the joint is made under shop conditions instead of on a scaffold. The joining mullion is 1 1/8" (28 mm) wide and comes in three reinforcement grades, chosen by the height of the window it has to carry. The system is covered by a US patent.
| Suggested window height | Joint width |
|---|---|
| up to 9 ft | 1 1/8" (28 mm) |
| 9 to 11 ft | 1 1/8" (28 mm) |
| 11 to 13 ft | 1 1/8" (28 mm) |
Combinations arrive partly or fully assembled depending on size and shipping method. Tell us the opening and we will confirm which grade your height needs and how the unit will be split for transport, before you price the crane time.

Options
Finishes
Powder-coat finishes to the standard RAL card, plus anodized options. Wood interiors are available in several species and interior finishes.
Glazing
- Double- or triple-pane insulated glass
- Low-E1 / Low-E2 / Low-E3 coatings
- Argon fill
- Tempered and laminated build-ups
- Custom interlayer colours and patterns
Exterior and interior finish
The commercial range is finished to the full RAL K7 Classic range rather than a short standard chart, so the frame can be matched to a facade palette or a brand colour instead of the nearest grey. Anodized finishes are available where an anodic layer is specified rather than a coating.
Interior and exterior can be finished in different colours — useful where the facade is dark and the interior scheme is not. Confirm the exact RAL reference with us before it goes on a submittal; some references carry a surcharge or a longer lead time.
Lead Time
- 9–10 weeks total, door-to-door: production, customs clearance, duties and delivery to your jobsite — nothing left for you to arrange separately.
- Ocean freight and drayage are booked and tracked on your order, not quoted as a separate step afterward.
- Shop drawings and a confirmed production schedule are provided before deposit, so the 9–10 weeks starts from a real date.
- Schedules are confirmed in writing at order. We build to your project timeline.
