Winco Window Company's 1150 awning window can now meet the operating force and motion guidelines to support the American Disabilities Act (ADA). For architects designing for schools and other public facilities, Winco’s commercial 1150 window is one of the few aluminum window options to meet this requirement.
The 1150 awning window meets the requirements set out by AAMA 513, which requires that operable windows have a force rating of less than 5 pounds, along with air, water, structural, operational, and thermal cycling requirements. The AAMA 513-14 laboratory test method aims to demonstrate whether a given window unit (as designed) can be operated with forces and motions consistent with ANSI / ICC A117.1 – 2017 limitations when properly installed, adjusted, and maintained.
