1) How can Stainless Steel be cost competitive with 12 gauge Hollow Metal?
|
-It’s all in the Engineering
The gauge is reduced to 14 gauge, and the profiles are slimmer. The mechanical
properties of Stainless Steel allow this superior change while still
maintaining the critical security requirements of today’s demanding criminal
justice designers and owners. Streamlined, state of the art manufacturing also
plays a major role in the process.

2) How do you paint Stainless Steel?
|
-You don’t.
The interior side of each window should remain 2B Stainless Finish.This is
where a lot of abuse takes place and why paint it, if it’s going to be a
maintenance problem down the road. The exterior of the window can be ordered
with powder coated “Z” profile 14 gauge Stainless Steel glass stops that
completely wrap the exterior portion of the frame giving you the color you want
on the outside of the building

3) Do you meet current testing criteria?
|
-C.M.Security prides itself on our technical superiority.To know more about our
conformance and testing, please feel free to contact our technical support team

4) Are your windows fully welded?
|
-All of C.M. Security’s Stainless Steel windows are strategically back welded
for maximum strength and silicone sealed for weather-tightness.They will meet
the most stringent impact tests available in the industry.The inherent
mechanical strengths and longevity of 304 Stainless Steel will allow these
windows to pass these same tests for years to come. They will pass the test of
time, where ferrous metal windows will weaken with corrosion

|
5) What about Domestic Product Requirement?
|
-Legislation in place in most jurisdictions requires product to be manufactured
from domestic raw material.This is the case with C.M. windows.Raw material is
sourced from the appropriate domestic suppliers, transformed into finished
product and shipped with a mill certificate
|
|
6) Do you use aluminum in your product?
|
-Sometimes.
C.M. Security Detention/Security Windows can be designed and
manufactured in both stainless steel and aluminum.See our products section for
the customizing options available. |
