Series 6300 Historic Project-Out Windows
Boyd's Series 6300 is a historic-oriented commercial aluminum project-out window with clean sightlines that reflect both classic steel-window character and current architectural design. For restoration and adaptive-reuse projects, the Series 6300 is available with exterior-applied historic grids and muntin systems that permit reglazing without grid removal. Modern performance and a classic look make the Series 6300 an excellent choice for schools, offices, colleges, hospitals, government buildings, military facilities, and other monumental commercial applications.
Tested to AW-PG90, the thermally broken Series 6300 features a 3.25" main frame, dual corner-key construction, inside- or outside-set glazing up to 1" thick, and 15 psf water resistance for demanding conditions. Stainless-steel four-bar friction hinges can be coordinated with standard, custodial, push-bar, or rotary operating hardware, while true divided-lite, interior, and historical muntins, removable screens, perimeter accessories, finish selections, and project-specific customization support contemporary and historic-review requirements.

When to Use the Series 6300 Project-Out Window
Historic restoration, adaptive-reuse, or replacement openings requiring outward-projecting operation and a classic steel-window-inspired appearance.
Schools, offices, colleges, hospitals, government buildings, military facilities, and other monumental commercial or institutional applications.
Projects requiring AW-PG90 performance, a 3.25" thermal-break frame, 15 psf water resistance, 135 psf structural performance, and glazing up to 1" thick.
Historic-review projects requiring clean sightlines, coordinated frame profiles, exterior-applied grids, muntins, finish matching, and project-specific opening details.
Openings where the applied historic grid or muntin system should permit future reglazing without removing or replacing the grid.
Commercial project-out openings requiring inside- or outside-set glazing, removable screens, multiple hardware packages, perimeter accessories, finish options, and customization.
Choosing a Historic Project-Out, Casement, or Fixed Window
You are viewing the Series 6300 outward-opening projected window. It is not the same as the side-hinged Series 6400 casement. Review the related Boyd systems below when the project requires a matching fixed opening, side-hinged historic casement operation, 39mm thermal-strut construction, a deeper contemporary frame, or a shallower projected-window system.
| Series | Review This Configuration For |
|---|---|
| Series 6200 Fixed | Matching non-operable historic-replica openings requiring extremely narrow sightlines, a 3.25" thermal-break frame, 1" glazing, and AW-PG100 fixed-window performance. |
| Series 6400 Casement Project-Out | Side-hinged historic project-out casement operation requiring AW-PG100 performance, a 3.25" frame, and inside- or outside-set glazing up to 1". |
| Series 3250XTP-G Project-Out | Historic-replica thermal-strut projected operation requiring a 39mm thermal strut, exterior snap-in muntins, AW-PG80 performance, and glazing up to 1.75". |
| Series 4300 Project-Out | Contemporary project-out applications requiring a deeper 4" thermal-break frame, AW-PG100 performance, and glazing up to 1.5". |
| Series 2300 Project-Out | Versatile project-out applications requiring a shallower 2.375" thermal-break frame, AW-PG80 performance, and glazing up to 1.5". |

Common Series 6300 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, operator package, hardware reach, operating 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.
Historic review: Coordinate existing-window profiles, sightlines, sash proportions, exterior-applied grid pattern, muntin shape and dimensions, finish, panning, perimeter conditions, and reviewing-authority comments.
Grid and reglazing relationship: Confirm whether true divided lites, interior muntins, or an exterior-applied grid system is required and preserve the intended ability to reglaze without removing the applied grid.
Glazing-set direction: Confirm inside- or outside-set glazing, complete glass makeup, overall thickness, safety glazing, coatings, spacers, glazing access, and published thermal requirements.
Hardware and screens: Select the appropriate 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 aluminum 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, receptors, subsills, mullions, trims, sealants, drainage, finishes, and surrounding construction before release.
