Series 3000 Commercial Single-Hung Windows

The Boyd Series 3000 is a top-of-the-line commercial aluminum single-hung window engineered for intense weather conditions and demanding coastal applications. A fixed upper sash and vertically operating lower sash provide traditional single-hung appearance and controlled ventilation, making the Series 3000 an excellent choice for public schools, universities, hospitals, government offices, military facilities, and other commercial or institutional buildings.

Tested to AW-PG75, the Series 3000 features a 4" thermal-break main frame, glazing up to 1.25" thick, true divided-lite and simulated muntin options, internal blinds or dual glazing, and a side-loaded operating sash that can be removed from the interior for maintenance and cleaning. An optional integral Water Management Fin System, screens, coordinated perimeter accessories, finish selections, and project-specific customization support challenging new-construction and replacement conditions. Selected impact-rated and blast-resistant configurations are available where the exact unit size, glazing, anchorage, installation method, and current documentation support the project requirements.

When to Use the Series 3000 Single-Hung Window

• Coastal or demanding commercial openings requiring a top-of-the-line single-hung aluminum window.

• Public schools, universities, hospitals, government offices, military facilities, and other institutional applications.

• Projects requiring AW-PG75 performance, a 4" thermally broken frame, 12 psf water resistance, and glazing up to 1.25" thick.

• Traditional single-hung elevations requiring a fixed upper sash, vertically operating lower sash, and interior access for sash removal and cleaning.

• Openings requiring true divided-lite, interior, or historical muntins, internal blinds, dual glazing, screens, or an optional integral Water Management Fin System.

• Selected impact-rated or blast-resistant applications where the exact Series 3000 configuration and current supporting documentation match the project requirements.

Choosing a Boyd Single-Hung, Double-Hung, or Fixed Window

You are viewing the Series 3000 high-performance single-hung window. Review the related Boyd options below when the project requires double-hung operation, a different single-hung performance class, a shallower replacement frame, or matching fixed lights.

Series 3000 Single-Hung Window Advantages

• Top-of-the-line single-hung construction engineered for intense weather and coastal building conditions.

• AW-PG75 performance with 12 psf water resistance and 112.5 psf structural performance.

• A 4" thermal-break frame and interior bead glazing accommodate glass up to 1.25" thick.

• Side-loaded operating sash can be removed from the interior for maintenance and cleaning without deglazing.

• Block-and-tackle or Ultra-Lift Class 5 balances and an integral lift bar support dependable lower-sash operation.

• True divided-lite, interior roll-form, and applied muntin options support contemporary, traditional, and historic-replica elevations.

• Internal blinds, dual glazing, screens, and the optional integral Water Management Fin System expand project flexibility.

• Panning, receptors, subsills, mullions, trims, nailing fins, leg extenders, finishes, and customization options support complex opening conditions.

• Selected impact-rated and blast-resistant configurations are available, with final applicability matched to the exact assembly and current documentation.

Common Series 3000 Coordination Items

• Single-hung operation: Confirm fixed upper sash, operating lower sash, lift and lock locations, operating force, balance selection, user access, and any custodial-control requirements.

• Egress and clear opening: Where emergency escape or rescue requirements apply, provide the required net clear opening, minimum clear dimensions, sill height, unit size, and authority-having-jurisdiction comments.

• Coastal and water management: Coordinate exposure, design pressure, water resistance, drainage, sill conditions, perimeter sealants, flashing, subsills, and whether the integral Water Management Fin System is required.

• Glazing and blinds: Confirm complete glass makeup, overall thickness, safety glazing, interior bead-glazing access, dual glazing, internal blinds, controls, coatings, spacers, and project thermal criteria.

• Muntins and appearance: Coordinate true divided-lite, interior roll-form, or applied historical muntins, grid pattern, profile, finish, reglazing requirements, and reviewing-authority comments.

• Impact requirements: Match the exact Series 3000 configuration, glazing, opening size, positive and negative design pressures, anchors, substrates, and installation method to the applicable approval or project documentation.

• Blast requirements: Provide the required protection level, threat criteria, glazing, opening size, anchorage, substrate, receptor, mullion, installation condition, and current documentation requirements.

• Sash removal and screens: Preserve interior access for sash take-out, cleaning, balance or lock service, screen removal, blind maintenance, and glazing replacement.

• Openings and accessories: Verify field dimensions, rough openings, substrates, anchors, panning, receptors, subsills, mullions, trims, nailing fins, leg extenders, sealants, drainage, and surrounding construction before release.
