Why trust NEXWD
We supply architectural aluminum windows and doors built to North American standards, and we sell, warrant and support every one of them ourselves. This page sets out what we can evidence and what we cannot — because before you buy, what matters is who answers when something needs fixing, and whether the numbers on a spec sheet can be checked by you rather than taken on trust.
Six active Notices of Acceptance
Every one rated Large and Small Missile Impact — casement, fixed, awning, sliding glass door and storefront systems, at design pressures from +60/−60 up to +115/−115 PSF.
Miami-Dade County is the hardest fenestration approval in the United States: full-scale large-missile impact, 9,000 cycles of pressure loading, and a Florida-licensed engineer of record on every drawing. There is no partial credit — a product either holds a NOA or it does not.
A NOA is issued per series and per configuration, so the number covering your exact unit is issued in writing with your quotation.
A rejected submittal costs you the schedule, not just the paperwork — that is why we confirm the exact NOA in writing before you specify it, not after.
See every certification →You can check our numbers without asking us
Every certified energy rating we publish carries its NFRC Certified Products Directory number on the product page. You can search that number at nfrc.org and read the same figures we read.
Most suppliers publish a U-factor and expect you to take it. We would rather hand you the reference, because a figure a specifier cannot verify is worth nothing at plan check.
We tell you when the answer is no
Our comparison pages say when vinyl is the better material and when importing is the wrong decision. Our shipping page says plainly what our 9–10 week figure actually includes, rather than quoting production time alone and leaving freight as a surprise. Our warranty page states the exclusions next to the coverage years rather than in a PDF.
This is not modesty. A supplier who never says no is a supplier whose yes means nothing.
Documentation, before you commit
NFRC data, size-versus-pressure tables, section details and the approval numbers that apply in your jurisdiction — provided at quotation, not after the order.
Tell us where the project is and we will confirm in writing what a product is approved for there. Code approval is jurisdiction-specific and a general statement on a web page is not something to put in a submittal.
Built for this market, not adapted to it
The systems we sell are built to North American standards rather than adapted to them: insulating glass certified by the IGCC, safety glazing certified by the SGCC, and hardware from established European and American suppliers.
Our production is registered in the NFRC directory as a Product Manufacturer, confirmed directly in the directory’s own manufacturer search — which is not true of every imported window.
A warranty with a real, checkable transfer path
Every order carries a complimentary 10-year limited warranty on frame, hardware and glass. An optional paid upgrade extends glass coverage to 20 years, transferring to a subsequent owner without proration — an asset at resale rather than something that quietly lapses at the sale.
Every unit is labeled with a unique QR trace code, so a future owner (or a home inspector) can look up the warranty status directly rather than take a seller’s word for it.
Finishes are applied in the factory, not on your site
Every stain, paint and powder coat is applied and cured in the plant, then the unit ships ready to install. Site finishing depends on the weather, the dust in the air and whoever is holding the brush — none of which is in your programme.
For you that is one trade removed from the schedule and one variable removed from the result.
Dual production capacity, so one disruption is not the whole catalogue
Production runs on more than one line, so a delay or a capacity issue on any single line does not stop every product — a real operational benefit, not a certification checklist item.
Every certification behind those lines is documented on our Certifications page with its number, so you can check each one rather than take a general assurance.
Field support, backed by our own commitment
NEXWD commits to on-site technical support within 48 hours upon special service requests, across 39 states — a NEXWD service commitment, not a factory pass-through.
On small and mid-size jobs we agree the right level of support with you case by case. We would rather set that expectation now than promise a site visit on every order and miss it.
What the work looks like
Three images from the manufacturer’s own production documentation. We publish them because each one shows a decision that is invisible in a finished window — and impossible to check after installation.
Production capability, as documented
Combinations are joined in the factory
Multi-unit assemblies are joined under shop conditions and delivered as one piece, on a patented splice system with a 1 1/8" (28 mm) joining mullion in three reinforcement grades, selected by window height up to 13 feet. Where an assembly is too large to ship whole, it is split at a designed splice and rejoined on site — decided before quotation, because it changes the crane plan.
How large combinations are joined →The size ceiling is published, not claimed
The largest documented units are stated on the product pages as sizes and weights rather than adjectives: lift & slide panels up to 84" × 120" — 6.5 m² (70 sq ft) and 881.8 lb per leaf — in assemblies covering openings up to 48 feet wide and 12 feet high.
That is where the documented capability ends. The manufacturer does not publish plant floor area, headcount or annual output, and we will not invent a throughput figure to make this section look stronger. What is documented is what the line can build, and it is on every product page as a size, a weight and a certified rating.
The service, item by item
Most of what gets called service is a promise about the future. These are the parts that are either in the crate or in writing.
Five-layer packing, in a crate customs will not hold
Each unit is packed in five layers inside a purpose-built crate of non-fumigation plywood. Solid-timber packaging entering the US must be treated and marked under ISPM 15; manufactured plywood falls outside that rule — one fewer reason for your container to wait for an inspector.
Shipping and delivery, in full →A traceable ID label on every unit
Every window carries its own labelled tag, so a specific opening can be found in a stacked delivery without unwrapping units to identify them. On a multi-elevation job that is the difference between an hour and an afternoon.
The toolbox ships in the order
A laser level and an installation tool kit come with each order, along with installation manuals in English and Spanish. Nothing has to be sourced separately before the first unit goes in.
Four mounting methods, including a stucco flush fin
Installation flange, flush fin, no-flange drill-through and galvanized straps. The flush fin sets over an existing aluminum frame so a stucco exterior stays intact — no cutting back and repatching. Tell us the wall build-up and we specify the right one per opening.
Installation methods explained →On large projects, someone comes to site
The manufacturer maintains a technical support presence across a large part of the United States, and large projects get on-site support. On smaller jobs the right level is agreed case by case — an expectation we would rather set now than a visit we promise and miss.
The warranty, in its own numbers
This is NEXWD’s own published warranty for its aluminum-frame windows and doors — not a single plant’s document, so it holds regardless of which factory supplied a given order. The governing document is the warranty itself, supplied in full on request before you order.
- The optional 20-year glass upgrade is not prorated and transfers to each subsequent owner — an available upgrade, not the free default.
- Labour is not covered: removal and reinstallation costs sit with the owner. We say it here so you can price it, not discover it.
- Every unit carries a unique QR trace code, so warranty status can be looked up directly rather than taken on trust.
What to ask any window supplier — including us
- What is the NFRC CPD number for this exact product, and what glazing build-up does that rating apply to?
- Is this product approved in my jurisdiction, and can you put the approval number in writing?
- What the warranty covers, and who pays to ship a replacement.
- What is the door-to-door lead time, and what does it actually include?
- If a unit arrives damaged, what is the process and how long does a replacement take?
