the metal window corp windows arrived. a perfect order, not a single return (thanks to mark at mwc and daniel at
sbs in glendale). all are framed in white aluminum except for the rear elevation which is black anodized to fit into
the zinc siding. originally they were designed to be floor to ceiling operables without a horizontal mull, but both
the budget and the city said no. because two of the windows are fire egress, large fixed glass panels were not an
option either. to stay consistent, we created a mull line for all windows at 3ft a.f.f. with fixed panels below and
casements/awnings above, each maintaining the absolute minimum frame width possible. all of the windows
come pre-configured so there is no additional framing or mulling that occurs on site. this allows for a cleaner
install without secondary framing members but means they are extremely heavy for phil to lift into place.
