Series 950 Commercial Horizontal Sliding Windows

The Boyd Series 950 is a high-performing commercial aluminum horizontal sliding window designed for smooth operation, easy upkeep, and demanding institutional or government applications. Its thermal-break construction, interior and historical muntin systems, and interior-removable operating sash make it a strong choice for offices, schools, universities, hospitals, government buildings, military facilities, historic-replica projects, and other commercial buildings requiring controlled horizontal ventilation.

Tested to AW-PG80, the Series 950 features a 4" main frame depth, two tandem ball-bearing rollers, multiple rows of weatherstripping, and interior bead glazing up to 1.25" thick. Its applied historical muntin system allows reglazing without grid removal, while screens, coordinated perimeter accessories, custom finishes, and project-specific customization support unique opening 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 950 Horizontal Slider

• Commercial buildings where XO, OX, OXO, or XOX horizontal sliding operation is preferred over projecting, hung, or fixed-window operation.

• Offices, schools, universities, hospitals, government buildings, military facilities, and other demanding institutional applications.

• Projects requiring AW-PG80 performance, a 4" thermally broken frame, glazing up to 1.25", and an interior-removable operating sash.

• Historic-replica elevations requiring interior or applied historical muntins and the ability to reglaze without removing the applied grid system.

• Openings requiring XO, OX, OXO, or XOX configurations with smooth operation from tandem ball-bearing rollers, multiple rows of weatherstripping, screens, perimeter accessories, and project-specific customization.

• Selected impact-rated or blast-resistant applications where the exact Series 950 configuration and current supporting documentation match the project requirements.

Common Series 950 Coordination Items

• Operating configuration: Confirm XO, OX, OXO, or XOX configuration, the viewing side, operating sash or sashes, slide direction, lock location, and meeting-rail condition shown on the window schedule.

• 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.

• Glazing: Confirm insulated-glass makeup, overall thickness, safety-glazing requirements, interior bead-glazing access, glass bite, coatings, spacers, and project thermal criteria.

• Muntins and historic appearance: Coordinate the interior or historical muntin type, grid pattern, lite divisions, profile, finish, attachment method, reglazing needs, and reviewing-authority requirements.

• Impact requirements: Match the exact Series 950 configuration, glazing, opening size, 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.

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