The Custom Window Series 8400 window system
is based off the standard 2” window system, but includes extensions on both sides of the main window frame, bringing the overall depth to 4 ½”.
With its greater depth, the Series 8400 system will span even larger openings than the 8260. It is commonly used in schools, hospitals high rise buildings and other projects requiring large window openings.
