Hope's Windows, Inc.'s University Series Steel Windows and Doors are engineered for projects requiring historic replication of exterior putty-glazed steel windows and doors in both new construction and replacement applications. The series combines narrow sightlines, refined hot-rolled steel profiles and modern glazing capabilities to help design and construction teams reconcile preservation mandates with contemporary performance criteria on education, civic, cultural and institutional projects.
Product details
University Series profiles are purpose-designed to mirror classic exterior putty-glazed steel windows, including a distinct beveled exterior edge that emulates traditional putty glazing. This replication enables new units to integrate visually with existing façades, helping architects satisfy historic district and campus design standards while maintaining a cohesive envelope where original and replacement openings are used side by side. The system preserves the visual language of early steel fenestration while delivering the durability and performance demanded by current codes and owner expectations.
Across windows and doors, the University Series is finished with Hope’s multi-step finishing system, engineered for consistent color, superior adhesion, and strong resistance to corrosion and environmental degradation. This advanced coating process helps ensure that installed systems retain both appearance and function over decades of service, aligning with the long ownership cycles typical of universities, public institutions and mission-driven organizations. For architecture, construction, and building professionals tasked with delivering historically sensitive projects that must also meet modern performance and lifecycle expectations, Hope’s University Series provides a platform for steel windows and doors.
