Series 4300 Aluminum Project-Out Windows
Boyd's high-performance Series 4300 is a commercial aluminum project-out window that provides a modern solution for contemporary architecture. Clean sightlines and outward-projecting operation complement new construction for colleges, schools, offices, government buildings, hospitals, military facilities, and other demanding commercial or institutional applications.
Tested to AW-PG100, the thermally broken Series 4300 features a 4" main frame, dual corner-key construction, inside- or outside-set glazing up to 1.5" thick, and 15 psf water resistance for powerful weather and coastal conditions. Stainless-steel four-bar friction hinges can be coordinated with standard, custodial, telescoping push-bar, or rotary operating hardware, while true divided-lite, interior, and historical muntins, blinds or dual glazing, removable screens, perimeter accessories, finish selections, and custom options support contemporary new-construction and replacement requirements. Impact-rated Series 4300 Project-Out configurations are available where supported by current approval documentation.

When to Use the Series 4300 Project-Out Window
Contemporary new-construction openings requiring outward-projecting operation, clean sightlines, and a modern commercial-window appearance.
Colleges, schools, offices, government buildings, hospitals, military facilities, and other commercial or institutional applications.
Projects requiring AW-PG100 performance, a 4" thermal-break frame, 15 psf water resistance, 150 psf structural performance, and glazing up to 1.5" thick.
Coastal-weather and impact-related projects where the selected Series 4300 Project-Out configuration, glazing, size, anchorage, installation conditions, and approval documentation meet the project criteria.
Openings requiring inside- or outside-set glazing, true or simulated muntins, blinds or dual glazing, removable screens, multiple operating-hardware packages, perimeter accessories, finish options, and customization.
Projects requiring a projected-out window rather than a side-hinged casement or inward-opening projected unit.
Choosing a Boyd Project-Out Window
You are viewing the Series 4300 outward-opening projected window. It is not a side-hinged casement. Impact-rated configurations are available, while blast capability is not listed for this product. Review the related Boyd systems below when the project requires inward projection, a shallower frame, narrow sightlines, 39mm thermal-strut construction, side-hinged casement operation, or a matching fixed unit.
| Series | Review This Configuration For |
|---|---|
| Series 4300 Project-In | Inward-opening projected operation when the vent should project into the building while retaining the 4" thermal-break frame, AW-PG100 performance, and glazing up to 1.5". |
| Series 2300 Project-Out | Versatile project-out applications in a shallower 2.375" thermal-break frame with glazing up to 1.5" and selected impact- or blast-related configurations. |
| Series 2300 NSL Project-Out | Narrow-sightline project-out applications requiring a 2.375" thermal-break frame, AW-PG80 performance, and a sleeker contemporary profile. |
| Series 3250XTP Project-Out | High-performance thermal-strut project-out applications requiring a 39mm thermal strut, 3.25" pressure-equalized frame, interior glazing, and glass up to 1.75". |
| Series 4400 Casement Project-Out | Side-hinged outward-opening casement operation when the project requires a casement instead of a projected-window configuration. |
| Series 4000 Fixed | Matching non-operable openings requiring a 4" thermal-break frame, AW-PG100 performance, and coordinated glazing, muntins, finishes, and sightlines. |

Common Series 4300 Project-Out Coordination Items
Projected-out operation: Confirm that the documents require an outward-opening projected window rather than a side-hinged project-out casement. Coordinate hinge location, opening angle, operating-hardware package, hardware reach, opening force, user access, and ventilation strategy.
Exterior clearance: Review the outward projection path against walkways, railings, sunshades, screens, louvers, adjacent walls, security conditions, maintenance access, and other exterior obstructions.
Coastal, impact, and powerful-weather requirements: Coordinate design pressures, water resistance, impact criteria, approval documentation, glazing, corrosion exposure, finish, adjacent metals, drainage, flashing, sealants, anchors, substrates, and installation conditions for the selected configuration.
Glazing-set direction: Confirm inside- or outside-set glazing, complete glass makeup, overall thickness, safety glazing, glazing access, blinds or dual glazing, coatings, spacers, and required CRF or U-value.
Muntins and appearance: Coordinate true divided-lite, interior roll-form, or applied historical muntins, grid pattern, lite divisions, profile, attachment method, finish, reglazing requirements, and any restoration criteria.
Hardware and screens: Select the lever-and-cam, custodial, telescoping push-bar, or rotary hardware package and coordinate friction hinges, screens, wickets, accessibility, security, cleaning, and maintenance requirements.
Member thickness: The live product copy and current guide specification list different sash-wall values. Confirm the governing drawings, certified test information, approved specification, and current product documentation before submittal or release.
Openings and accessories: Verify field dimensions, rough openings, substrates, anchors, panning, nailing fins, leg extenders, receptors, subsills, mullions, trims, sealants, drainage, finishes, and surrounding construction before release.
