Winco Introduces 1150 Window System Designed to Meet ADA Guidelines
Winco Window Company in St. Louis has announced its 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 windowis one of the few aluminum window options to meet this requirement.
“Since the ADA is a law, not a building code, designing windows that meet the needs of people with physical disabilities can be challenging,” says Andrew Kearney, an engineer at Winco. “We selected the best hardware to make opening a window easy for anyone, including a disabled person. We integrated the hardware with our classic 1150 window, commonly used in schools, to provide an excellent option when ADA considerations are in play. The 1150 is versatile, durable, and customizable to any project while featuring the necessary hardware for easy operation.”
