A fixed screen window typically consists of a rigid, extruded aluminum (or uPVC/steel) frame, precision mesh (stainless steel, fiberglass, or aluminum), robust connection corners or welded joints, and often a weather-resistant sealing strip for airflow and leak prevention.
Key industry terms:
- 6063-T5 Aluminum Alloy: Superior corrosion resistance and strength for long-term outdoor exposure.
- CNC Fabrication: Achieves high precision for tight mesh fitting and custom shapes, including radius corners.
- Powder Coating: Provides scratch resistance and UV protection; typical thickness 50-80μm.
- ISO 9001, ASTM E2112: Ensures manufacturing consistency, mechanical performance, and installation reliability.

Q3: How is frame durability tested?
Frames undergo cyclic load, impact, salt spray (ISO 9227), and UV aging tests per ISO 9001/ASTM standards.
Q4: What are typical frame sizes and thicknesses?
Standard thickness: 1.0–2.0mm; size: 600x800mm to 1200x1800mm. Custom dimensions available for large commercial apertures.
Q5: Is certification (CE/ISO/ANSI) important?
Certification ensures traceable quality, environmental compliance, and eligibility for government procurement projects.
Q6: How do installation standards affect performance?
Proper anchoring and sealing to ASTM E2112/EN 14351-1 ensures robust wind, impact, and leak resistance.
